A UK Nando's diner got the shock of his life when he partially chewed on a 4in-long live FROG found in his Nando's chicken wrap, The Sun reported.
The horrified diner managed to spit out the 4in-long animal, but fears he may have already eaten one of its legs.
Accounts manager Ross, who was with his girlfriend Karen and a pal, said: "I bit into the wrap, but couldn't chew through it. I excused myself and got it out of my mouth.
"There was a whole frog there. It was still alive. I felt really ill."
Ross was so angry at the chain's outlet in Victoria, central London, that he took a mobile photo and insisted on taking the evidence home in a plastic tub.
He later realised that the frog - by now dead - had been left with only three limbs. Disgusted Ross, of Crawley, West Sussex, added: "I think I might have eaten one. The thought of chewing on it keeps me awake at night." Staff recorded his ordeal on a complaint form and he was given a £44 refund.
But Ross said: "I don't understand how anyone can put a wrap together and not see a frog. I'm livid. I won't eat at Nando's again."
Nando's said it was taking the incident extremely seriously and insisted: "We take great care over the quality of our food."
It said the "only possible" way the frog could have got into the wrap was in its pre-packed salad leaves, which are provided by a supplier washed and ready to get.
A spokesman added: "Unfortunately as Mr Dance refuses to give us the foreign object, we are unable to fully understand where it came from to reach a final conclusion."
