Frog salad
Posted September 26, 2006

With all the recent media attention to the outbreak of E. coli in spinach and the folks who have become sick as a result; along comes this image above of a frog in the salad, being circulated around the internet. Perhaps it has come to an inbox near you.

Hopefully that by the time I get this up on the web site, the image is big enough to see it, but if you look closely at the package and look just below the words "Fresco Lavado"...

The explanation that circulates with the image did not make me real comfortable. “What probably happened is, the water which the lettuce was washed in, contained polliwogs and these became fresh new frogs, right in the packages. So if you're looking for salad fixins with a little more body, then be sure and try this brand.”

Good gracious. If the water in which the lettuce was washed contained polliwogs, just what else could possible be in the water?

PS: “Polliwog” is a great word. I’ve met a few “polliwogs” in the political world…
