    Why is the meal sausage in Yorkshire pudding called 'Toad in the hole'?

    Question #74445. Asked by Sunmum. (Jan 11 07 9:31 PM)

    		Recipe origin: United Kingdom
    No one really knows the history behind the name of this traditional light supper dish.

    This comically named British dish consists of a yorkshire pudding batter to which small cooked link sausages are added. The dish is baked until the batter puffs up around the sausages (making them the "toads in the hole") and becomes golden brown. It's most often served for lunch or dinner.
