A LIVE frog emerged from a bag of Tesco salad — and hopped straight into the mayonnaise.
Michelle Adcock, 45, was having tea at home when she saw the amphibian on her plate.

It jumped into her Heinz dressing before bounding round the house — leaving a trail of mayo prints.
Michelle’s hubby Martin, 49, and son Max, 12, helped trap it in a box.
They left it some cress and water until Tesco staff arrived two days later to collect it.
Bank worker Michelle, of Southend, said: “We were settling down to have a prawn salad for tea and watch The Chase.
“I was right into my food when suddenly I had a live frog on my plate. It was in the watercress.
“It jumped into the mayonnaise then jumped out of my plate onto the sofa.

“I felt physically sick. I was just gobsmacked thinking it was in my dinner.”
Tesco apologised and gave her £75.
It said: “Our growers work hard to clean and inspect the watercress and it’s very rare to find something unexpected.”
