She stopped to take in a double page spread on roast chicken and to hazard a guess at what the critter might be, then sighed and declared “oh, poor toad”.

Yup, us carnivores luv us some toad, I mean, I try to get the organic freerange toads obviously, but sometimes you’ve got Men to feed and you just can’t get to the farmer’s market and you end up with the supermarket toad and it’s just not the same.
Stay tuned for Hugh Fernley-Wittingstall at River Cottage doing toad in seven different ways next week on ABC, converting toad sceptics with his toad wrapped in nettles and simmered in verjus.
Poor, poor toad. Poor, poisonous toad.
as a sometimes cooker of roast chicken……me thinks I have failed?
I have to tell you I am absolutely dotty about my granddaughter
