To think that a frog has no place on top of my loaf of bread

Came home, it was dark, to see our lovely weekly loaf of sourdough had been delivered by our local bakery. Saw something smallish on top of the brown bag, thought it might be a receipt or something in another bag, bent down and TOUCHED a frog that was cowering from the rain on TOP of my loaf of bread. So after scrubbing the slimy feeling off my hands, I am now faced with the dilemma of whether I can actually eat the bread! It is in a brown bag, but a frog has been sitting on it. Yuck.
Would you eat this ?

I love frogs.
I love bread.

I'd eat it.

Poor little froggy Sad

Your bread will be fineGrin

I'd eat it.

He was sheltering from the rain, let's have some compassion here :)

As long as the bread was wrapped and he wasn't embedded in the middle of it I imagine it will be fine, although I think I'd be chucking out the wrapper; after removing it with great care of course.

CuppaSarah · 05/11/2015 18:49

Did you not consider the fact the poor frog may have wanted some of your bread too? Pretty rude not to offer him any. Poor thing.

What MaryPoppins said.

I thought it was going to be some weird frogs on toast recipe.

BugritAndTidyup · 05/11/2015 18:52

Sheltering from the rain? Confused He's a fucking FROG!

Grin

As long as he wasn't one of them rainforest brightly coloured feckers I'm sure your bread will be fine.

Penfold007 · 05/11/2015 18:52

You get real, decent bread delivered!!! I'm jealous. I'd relocate froggy and enjoy the loaf,

PHANTOMnamechanger · 05/11/2015 18:53

so was this a one off, or do you usually have your bread left there and find it later? if so then there is every chance that it is always landed on by birds and all kinds of insects, maybe even scampered over by the odd spider or small inquisitive rodents. But what you don't see can't harm you eh?

BugritAndTidyup · 05/11/2015 18:53

(Seriously though, I do hope he was all right)

TiggyD · 05/11/2015 18:55

I'd eat it. And if there's any crumbs on the frog I'd give that a lick too.

He may have been a prince in disguise. A prince with a yen for bread products.

iwantavuvezela · 05/11/2015 19:01

No our bread is usually left outside our front door (delivered by bicycle weekly). Who know what else has been on my bread now that Phantonnamechanger mentions it. bUt this frog was blatantly lying across it, and only jumped when touched.
For the frog lovers we regularly relocate frogs to a nearby cemetery (obviously no loaves lying around for them , but away from the neighbourhood cats!) I hope word doesn't get out amongst the local fRog community,
Okay general consensus is that the bread can be eaten ...... Although looking forward to DH's expression when I tell him!

And yes he/she (we never got the chance to establish gender) was sheltering from the rain, probably enjoying the warmth of the freshly baked loaf Smile

He was practically offering himself up to be sauteed in garlic and eaten with sourdough croutons ...

iwantavuvezela · 05/11/2015 19:16

Fifty shades Smile now that I think about it he was!

And there's another one, the message must have got out!

Not to out myself, but I can't think about frogs without remembering the frog that made lurve to a goldfish in my friends pond. It properly gave that fish a love hug, and didn't let go for days. Goldfish looked startled.

But there wasn't any bread.

nocoolnamesleft · 05/11/2015 19:25

Clearly no bread. And I'm assuming also no bun in the oven, or the incident would have been very famous.

BugritAndTidyup · 05/11/2015 19:25

Oh dear, it isn't mating season is it? they hasn't been shagging on top of your bread, have they? I know I said it'd be fine, but I think a couple of frogs copulating on the farmhouse bloomer might put me off my sandwiches a bit

ChristmasZombie · 05/11/2015 20:03

Lick the frog.

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 05/11/2015 20:05

Aren't frogs both he and she, the hermaphroditic little buggers?

Salmotrutta · 05/11/2015 20:54

Actually I think it's a toad.

Toads go out and about but frogs stick very close to ponds and rarely venture far from them.

Toads also have rougher skin.

UterusUterusGhali · 05/11/2015 20:57

What kind of pathetic-ass frog shelters from rain.

They're fucking amphibians. Grin
