Um....What the?

Great article whughes3 , ^ interesting to note.

But looking at the response from QF quote from article '...that since the incident the airline had changed its lettuce supplier and introduced "additional procedures into the salad supply process.' Umm.... I was just wondering what the additional procedures could be - pick out the leaves one by one, washing the lettuce two to three times, who knows?

Glad to know one day while dining my salad at 38,000 ft, some native Australian aminals might pop out to surprise me.....

That's exactly right and you can imagine with so many 1000's of salad prepared each day that some "wildlife" will get onto the plate. It's unfortunate but it can and does happen. Ii feel sorry for the poor frog that had a one way journey to NZ.

I've never tasted whistling tree frog.

In fact, I didn't even know trees could whistle.

I have got to get to Australia.

Is frog consivered a Vegetarian meal? When requesting ask for FML code.

No mentioned as whether this was a meal in WHY or J - if in WHY it is clearly a step up from chicken or beef....

Another reason to order one's meal medium-rare rather than rare.
