Who likes toads? Who wants to eat toads? I don't! The only thing related to toad that I would eat is the typical British dish, "Toad in the hole", only because it has nothing to do with toads at all!
This curious dish is a simple one. It consists of a mixture of onions and grilled sausages all put together in a Yorkshire pudding covered with gravy.
But why is it called "Toad in the Hole"? There are different theories about this, but nothing is certain. One theory is that it resembles a toad sticking its head out of a hole, although this can be hard to see sometimes!
Another interesting thing about this dish is that it has changed a little through time, it has been called different names, like "Frog in the Hole", or made with a different kind of meat other than sausage. A similar recipe was invented before, called "Pigeons in a Hole", which consisted of pigeons cooked in a Yorkshire pudding.
If you want to try this, just put a pan into the oven and heat it for 15 minutes, then add sausages and batter and cook them for half an hour. Place it into the dish while heated. Serve it warm with vegetables, mash potatoes and covered with onion gravy, it will taste great!
This is the perfect dish to ask for in a restaurant if you are going to England. Or the ideal dish, which can be cooked quickly, for guests. And if you are imaginative, you can make it different ways, or including something else, like baked beans. They will love it!
Here you have different pictures, but careful! You will get hungry! It looks delicious!
