Froggie the frog

[Anton]

Maybe it's one of the ingredients.

Very possible. But why the only one?
Recipes of the era tended to combine plant and animal indiscriminately.

In Middle Ages, toads were believed to be extremely poisonous. In fact, they produce poison, but it's harmless to humans (in quantities cintained in toads). So if this is meant to be a toad, and not a frog, this would probably mean toad poison as ingredient. Looking for medieval recipes which contain toad posion would be a good line of attack.
