Dead Frog Found in Salad From Chain Sandwich Shop

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."

I wouldn’t eat that salad. It probably killed the frog.

Just today, for New Years Eve, I bought 3 lbs. of frog legs, because none of my pussified 1/2 family members ever had any. $9.00 a pound. Would have shot them myself, but the ponds are frizzenn over.

That would make me hopping mad.

Later, when no one was looking, the frog jumped up and started belting out “Hello my baby, hello my honey...”

A cricket boiled to a nice shade of red was in a serving of turnip greens at a mom and pop place I ate at once.

We figured it was cooked and canned at the factory as it was winter time and all the local bugs were dead.

Got a free meal and pie out of it.

I would have peeked under the top crust of that pie fer dang sure!

Perhaps the frog was dyslexic - “Froggy went a crouton...”

I found a chain in a salad at a frog sandwich shop.

She wanted an organic salad.

So ... Now it’s got organs.

Bless you.

When we had a family rotisserie baseball league, my youngest child named her team the "Crunchy Frogs."

Crickets taste good. Sounds like a Win-Win.

We found a live roach in a salad at our (previously) favorite upscale restaurant. Their response was insufficient, and we never went back, even though we knew the general manager.

They went out of business not too many months later.

Love it!!

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?

Pesticides killed it.
