Frogs are edible and, in fact, expensive.

A sandwich restaurant chain says it's looking into how a dead frog got into a customer's salad in Manhattan Monday.
The customer found the small frog in her salad from a Pret A Manger store on 47th Street and Sixth Avenue, according to her colleague Kathryn Lurie, who photographed it and posted it to the photo-sharing app Instagram.
Lurie, an editor at The Wall Street Journal, said on Twitter her co-worker wanted to remain anonymous but that "she was pretty shaken, understandably."
It's not clear how the frog got into the salad.
Pret said in a statement: "Our lettuce is sourced from farms that do not use any pesticides on its produce, therefore organic matter does very rarely manage to pass through our production process. We are currently looking into this issue to make every effort that this does not happen again."

Looks like aquatic-chicken salad.
You’d have to pay extra for that in China.
Good source of protein. They would have charged $40 or $50 for this salad in an upscale French restaurant, so what’s this person complaining about?
Inspector: ‘ELLO!
Mr. Hilton: ‘Ello.
Inspector: Mr. ‘ilton?
Hilton: A-yes?
Inspector: You are the sole proprietor and owner of the Whizzo Chocolate Company?
Mr. Hilton: I am, yes.
Inspector: Constable Clitoris and I are from the ‘ygiene squad, and we’d like to have a word with you about your box of chocolates entitled the ‘Whizzo Quality Assortment’.
Mr. Hilton: Oh, yes.
Inspector: If I may begin at the beginning. First there is the Cherry Fondue. Now this is extremely nasty. (pause) But we can’t prosecute you for that.
Mr. Hilton: Ah, agreed.
Inspector: Then we have number four. Number four: Crunchy Frog.
Mr. Hilton: Yes.
Inspector: Am I right in thinking there’s a real frog in ‘ere?
Mr. Hilton: Yes, a little one.
Inspector: What sort of frog?
Mr. Hilton: A...a *dead* frog.
Inspector: Is it cooked?
Mr. Hilton: No.
Inspector: What, a RAW frog?!?
Mr. Hilton: Oh, we use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and sealed in a succulent, Swiss, quintuple-smooth, treble-milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose.
Inspector: That’s as may be, but it’s still a frog!
Mr. Hilton: What else?
Inspector: Well, don’t you even take the bones out?
Mr. Hilton: If we took the bones out, it wouldn’t be crunchy, would it?
She would have preferred a live frog, perhaps?
Daughter found a Dragon Fly un a salad at Cheesecake Factory.
Too bad it wasn’t a dead rat in (_)o(_)bama’s sandwich.
“Organic matter does very rarely pass through our production process.”
That’s OK, Hoppy! You are still a frog. Don’t let these haters put you down! You’re more than just organic matter! You’re organic matter that can hop, and they can’t take that away from you!
Could be worse, she might have found half a frog.
And the French immediately surrendered.
This arrived to the restaurant in 4-5 days. Kermit looks pretty good for at least 6 days expired.
I smell bovine excrement and attempt to win urban lottery
Poor frog . . . led a happy, but uneventful life (probably). Until it ended up in someone’s salad to be whined about . . . .
Could lead to having a frog in one’s throat, literally. :)
Latest version of the needle in the pizza scam.
It got there the same way a mouse finds its way into a bottle of beer, eh.

It was probably the Bad Cholesterol in the egg yolk that killed the little thing...
