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

[iwantavuvezela]

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 ?

That's a big frog, are you sure it's not a toad? All our frogs (not ours, but seem to favour our garden) are weeny little things.

Maybe it's a cockney rhyming frog?

You say you usually relocate frogs to the cemetery - maybe he got confused with the meeting point 'on top of the brown bread'?

I'd be hopping mad if that happened to me..

You get your bread delivered by bicycle each week? Do you live in the 1940's?

Nah, frogs wander around too, they only live in the pond in breeding season - spring.

The bread will be fine - but wow, how lovely to have nice bread delivered!

Frogs can be big too. Did it jump or walk? Jump - frog. Walk _ toad. Toads have dry bumpy skin, frogs wet smooth skin.

It was obviously a prince waiting for you on your doorstep. If you'd kissed it you would now be swanning around in a fabulous castle wearing a sparkly dress and a diamond tiara.

You lot are making me laugh. i live in hipster ville where bread is indeed delivered by bike.
Let me make one thing clear, there will be no licking of the frog or toad although I have heard they have hallucigenic qualities (certain frogs that you can lick.
But this bread loving, water hating, gender fluid frog/toad doesn't seem to possess those sort of qualities.

Why don't you get a bread bin and leave it in the spot the bread is usually left in? That way the bread can be left in the bread bin, safe from peckish frogs, birds and other creepy crawlies. I wonder how many bugs you've eaten, thinking they were seeds in the bread

Can we see the bread? Like a photo? I'm jealous of the delivery biker

I am no help for frog/toad ID but am laughing at #lickthefrog and all the prince refernces (I would eat it though) and love the breadbin idea.

I'd eat the bread, not the frog!!

You need to read him this book

I would! Have you heard the old saying "a frog on your bread at night is a beautiful sight, a frog on your bread at dawn and you will be forlorn"

Bill Bryson I will keep that in mind ... (and at least it wasn't at dawn!)

Ivykaty will post a picture of our loaf in all its glory later today (it remains untouched!)

Thecunnyfunt ... will definitely look at some type of receptacle for the bread to be left in ......

Thanks for the laugh everyone .....

Poor bugger was sheltering from rain. I'd eat it. The frog I mean

that's a toad.

I love toads.

I would LOVE to have sourdough bread delivered by bicycle/van/on foot, with or without frogs. No such thing here. I make my own sourdough bread. Have never encountered a frog in the process, which makes me a little sad.

Lol at kissing the frog and pathetic assed frog

YABU
TOUCHED a frog that was cowering from the rain

they are amphibians so why would he cower from rain given he lives in water (some of the time!)

LOL uterus got there first!!!

stopfuckingshouting at me - that frog/toad is guilty! It was indeed cowering from the rain, right up against the door (where the bread was shoved) which gave a slight amount of cover from the rain, I am going to go and try find that frog/toad, and have it confess to you all, or else its toad in the hole!

I have a phobia of frogs and toads that no amount of counselling in adulthood or childhood cured. Haven't set foot in my mum's back garden for three years since one jumped at me. Therefore, I'd burn the bread, house, garden, probably the entire village, just to make sure nothing amphibious had touched anything I own. So no, I wouldn't eat it.

I'm with sparkles burn the lot.

Just looking at your picture had me shuddering bleurgh.
