I haven't made that for years either, sounds scrummy

Toad in the hole is a traditional English dish[1] consisting of sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter, usually served with vegetables and onion gravy. The origin of the name "Toad-in-the-Hole" is often disputed. Many suggestions are that the dish's resemblance to a toad sticking its head out of a hole provides the dish with its somewhat unusual name. It is rumoured to have been called "Frog-in-the-Hole" in the past, although little evidence exists to support this theory.[2] It can also be referred to, less popularly, as "Jimmy toad".[3]

thanks for explaining the origing Annie
When my family came to stay I cooked toad in the hole for them, but I cheated and they still loved it.
I cooked the sausages and the yorkshires and then stuck one or two of the sausages into the large Yorkshires, which I had bought ready made and only had to heat for 3 minutes.
With lots of gravy it was delicious.

The last one I made was a disaster, usually they turn out alright.

Thanks for explanation Annie, often wondered why it was called that.

Thank you for finding that out.

It was interesting and delicious
