Another round of British pub food coming right up. Most people know what the famous fish and chips are (fried filet of fish and French fries) and bangers and mash (sausages and mashed potatoes) are. But most people don’t know my favorite pub dish: Toad in the hole. I’m not quite sure why it’s named that because it’s something probably everyone would eat.
At Pontefract Castle, I ordered a “toad in the hole.” Pontefract is one of those places that lets you choose the sausage you want in it. (Toad in the hole is Yorkshire pudding surrounding sausages, mashed potatoes, green veggies, and onion gravy.) I got a venison-juniper-and-gin sausage that had a hint of sweetness and paired rather nicely with my pint of liquid bread Guinness. I don’t know what else to say. Toad in the hole is one of those dishes where all the ingredients are so good, it’s hard to imagine the combination not being good.
