stupid question I know - but why is Toad in the Hole so called????

[snookhams]

I know, I know this is a really stupid question but it's bugging me cause I can't find out the answer, why on earth is sausages in a Yorkshire batter called 'Toad in the hole' - my 8 year old asked me the other day and I didn't know the answer and it has been bugging me ever since. So does anyone know!!!

 

[AlanUK]

A very good question!

I haven't been able to find out the answer either. Don't let Evil Cath see this or it might end up as tonights quiz question

I'm sure she could even put some kind of Disney twist on it to make it viable, mark my words!!!

Evil Cath..............

Could be Mr Toad's Wild Ride colliding with a Giant Yorkshire Pudding.............

 

[Dimplenose]

Perhaps the ride was buried in a hole??

Don't give her ideas

We'll only suffer in the end

A hole dug by the Evil Pooh and Tigger, to take over the ride.........the filled it with Yorkshire Pudding Batter - so he could never escape, and baked it in a Giant oven

Cath your wicked streak is coming out!!!

 

[AlanUK]

Pooh and Tigger could never be so evil

I wouldn't mind eating my way out though
