Toad in the hole (though we called it pigs in a blanket) rocks. I love my Yorkshire pudding recipe.

"bile pile" is my favorite!

Toad-in-the-Hole is just what we call an Egg-Eyed Egyptian here in the USA.

/Like biscuit versus cookie.

Bollocks, I love cooking Toad in the Hole

Seriously, he works for the "Pudding Club"? I'm in the wrong line of work.

Queue the U.S. vs. British discussion of what "pudding" is.

I think the corollary here is that British people are becoming extinct in Britain.

... Or so I'm told.

I have a relative named "Hines" that I get a can of "Hines Spotted Dick" for the holidays every year... just because.

Toad in the hole is great! It`s a supper-time staple around my house.

That's because they all want to move to Ft. Lauderdale before the Mexicans finish their invasion of the U.S.

Sherry trifle is divine!

/Love me some good British home baking for desserts/puddings/same thing.

With Mohammed the most popular name for baby boys in Britain, the Brits have a lot more to worry about than "toad in the hole" becoming extinct.

Yes. The most odious "cuisine" the world has ever spawned is becoming extinct in the face of Darwinian competition from *far* mightier strains of food like Italian and Indian.

Socking? No.

Mushy peas, or beef vindaloo? Hm, let me think.

No hankering for grey meat and vegetables boiled into mush, here.

For instance, 71 per cent and 62 per cent of under-40s had made spaghetti bolognese or curry, respectively.

Did they really make spaghetti bolognese or a curry? I think what they may have done is cooked some pasta and ground beef and poured a jar of pre-made sauce over it, or cooked some chicken and added some curry powder from the supermarket. Which is sad because they're both really easy to make from scratch.

Considering that GB is responsible for most of the territory fights in the near and middle east, not to mention a half-dozen other colonies worldwide, they kinda brought it on themselves. This will be the warning to the future generations of what happens to any people group that cedes their sovreignty to alien nations in the name of "tolerance", especially over social guilt over being the former imperial overlords.

Racism is ugly and should never be tolerated, but it goes a long way towards preserving people groups that otherwise might be absorbed and lost forever inside other cultures; fortunately for the British, they should allready be quite used to that sort of thing after 2,500 years of being conquerred by every passing seafaring tribe.

Blood pudding. Unfortunate names, indeed.

To preserve their heritage, maybe should consider coming up with some of those urban "fusion" foods. You know, like "spotted dick in the toad's hole" or something.

Eh, I have had both, spotted dick is okay, don't like toad in a hole but that is probably because I find British sausage generally disgusting. Even the cheap German sausages from Lidl are more eatable than what you usually get from the supermarket or in a lot of pubs and restaurants. If you get sausage from a proper butcher, they are usually good, but as the article also said, there are less and less of those. I like a lot of Welsh food though. Mmm, cawl and Glamorgan sausages...

Or as we like to call it, a 'Hotdog in a Barrel'.

Mmmm spotted dick

Real cheddar cheese has bite, not the wussy stuff in the US.

Your grasp of history. Where is it?

You should read your history books a bit more carefully, we haven't actually been conquered since 1066.

1. Most take a lot of time to make
2. Unless you have 6 kids, you'll be having leftovers for a week
3. The angioplasty costs extra

Oh you silly british people. Meat is not supposed to be boiled. Theres only one way to properly cook meat, and it involves neither water, nor bread, nor boiled cabbage. Unless said meat is corned beaf, which really is only good in hash. Mmmm...I think I might go make me some right now.

mdalli: With Mohammed the most popular name for baby boys in Britain, the Brits have a lot more to worry about than "toad in the hole" becoming extinct.

I don't get that. They can call everyone mohammed, but riot if there are pictures of mohammed anywhere in the world.

I'm surprised there aren't more people in this thread who read the laugher America Alone. Ooooo, scary brown people!

Pigs in a blanket are cocktail wienies in puff pastry... plus or minus things like cheese, mustard ect.

My family always made 'toads in the hole' in muffin tins although I know you can make the bigs ones... we always called it pigs in a pot being that the sausage meat was in a Yorkshire pudding and smothered with gravy so it was supposed to be a pig wallowing in it's own filth... or so my mother tells me.

/btw I'm from the USA so that the name sake is probably some weird ass family invention.
//Like my grandfathers vinegar based BBQ called 'Dish water' due to the murky color of the marinade. My family has some awesome recipes that has some weird names.

Beef Wellington kicks 42 kinds of ass, ya'll.

That's the only truly British dish I've ever had, though.

OMG Mohammed is the 22nd most popular name for baby boys in Britain!!!!! AND ALL THE OTHER NAMES ON THE LIST ARE WESTERN!!!! THE SCARY ISLAMISTS ARE TAKING OVER!!!!!

/not entirely accurate, but much closer

I like a good old sausage casserole, and scones with devon cream...

On the other hand I like Korean barbeque much better. I think that it's good to have a large variety of cuisines available.

Growing up my mother very rarely made native British food. The school I went to however served little else. I learned that most British dishes don't taste good enough to warrant the effort expended in preparing them.

Also, don't forget "elephant dick". Also tasty with a highly descriptive but unfortunate name.

Right, I thought being in the pudding club was, er, just for the ladies.

This has nothing to do with Brits refusing to eat dishes like toad-in-the-hole as Submitter suggests, just becoming lazier in terms of what they will cook.

isn't vindaloo one of the most popular dish there?

furriners tempting native borns away from their traditions and such

Somewhere along the line I got the impression toad in the hole was basically just cutting out a hole in the middle of a slice of bread, putting it in a frying pan, dropping an egg in the hole, and cooking them both at the same time, but wikipedia disagrees. So, what the heck was I cooking?

wombat18: You should read your history books a bit more carefully, we haven't actually been conquered since 1066.

That was by the French though, so it's still pretty embarrassing.
