a weird off the wall question for you...

what is toad-in-a-hole?

see, I read these little books that alot of the time have British heroines, and quite often, they mention making toad-in-a-hole, toad-in-the-hole?, for supper and I don't have a clue what it is... jacket potatoes is another one..

Jacket potatoes are baked potatoes.

yeah, I figured that one was something with the skins still on, but wasn't sure how it was being fixed :)

If supper wasn't mentioned I would say that toad-in-a-hole is just a British town, like Kingston-Upon-Hull, etc., but.....

Apparently it's baked pork sausages with a gravy topping.

yeah thats correct.. also if you come across a welsh rabbit its not a actual rabbit its toast with cheese :)

hmm I may have to try that recipe... considering someone thawed a huge amount of sausage here at the house just have a few links...

Toad in the holes are great. Not that I'm british, I just like them.

made it this evening.. more of a breakfast food to me, but then, i don't think I had quite the right sausage.. Hillshire polska

*laughs*

Its whats known as a 'Yorkshire pudding' with sausages inside it.

Very nice actually.

Google the recipe for a Yorkshire pudding and you'll get the idea, goes well with mashed potatoe, seasonal veggies and a bit of gravy.

Good hearty food. ;)

Yorkshire Pudding is god food.. that and cheddar
