Don't think anyone is sure. I won't eat it!

Answer 2

Toad in the hole is a traditional British dish. It consists of sausages in Yorkshire pudding mix, usually served with vegetables and gravy.

Strong regional dialect has resulted in the dish being locally called "Tow'd in't th'ow" in some areas. Badly made toad in the hole is sometimes described as "frog in a bog".

In some countries, including Australia and Canada, and in the U.S. region of New England, Toad in the Hole is the name of a dish that involves cutting a hole in a slice of bread, cracking an egg into it, and then frying it. [1]

Answer 3

It is an old traditional British dish, I don't think anyone knows how it got its name, possibly due to the fact that it is a dish comprising of sausages baked in a batter. We have loads of odd named dishes here, such as spotted d**k (a steamed suet pudding - and very nice too!) and stargazers pie (a fish dish)
