Airline passenger finds frog in food

An airline passenger on a flight from Melbourne to Wellington got a surprise when she found a live frog in her salad.

The woman was on a Qantas flight when she found the the whistling tree frog on top of her cucumber.

The woman managed to trap the creature in the salad box, preventing it from escaping, says the New Zealand Herald.

Cabin crew removed the container and notified New Zealand's Agriculture department who had quarantine staff waiting when the plane landed.

The 4cm brownish-coloured frog, a native of Australia, was taken from the plane and was put down.

A Qantas spokesman said the airline had changed its lettuce supplier since the incident and introduced "additional procedures into the salad supply process".

I've heard of "flies in the soup", but never "frogs in the salad". YIKES!!!!!!

Hehe, that's funny. That'd startle the heck out of me!

Quantas must have thought she ordered frogs legs and decided to go above and beyond and throw in the entire frog for good measure. It's probably a matter of trying harder, just like Avis.

LOL! But poor frog had a good meal before he was put to sleep.

Many years ago on a vacation in Ibiza, during a meal in a restaurant, I found a can opener in my soup!! We all had a good laugh and got another dish and a bottle of wine for free.

On Animal Planet, there was a story about a woman who found a frog in the lettuce she had bought from the super market. It was a little green tree frog and the refrideration had caused it to hibernate in a sense.

I think they kept the frog as a pet.

Embarrasing, if it was advertised as "home made soup".....

I'm surprised their response wasn't: "Meat costs extra!"

I have to say... THAT IS GROSS! How did a frog get in her salad?

[carole]

Blimey you Aussie's are at it again, importing frogs here illegally, I dunno, what are we to do with you.?

Yes unfortnately the frog probably was sent to froggy heaven, we have very strict rules here, it would be allowed to stay if it appeared to be no threat to our country.

Even though there is a funny side to this story i suppose, in reality not really, this kind of thing is not good, NZ prides itself on being a country with no poisonous snakes, etc etc, and we want to keep it that way.

Poor frog. How sad. I would have taken him home instead.
