A Little History Of Toad In The Hole
Toad in the hole was not the original name for the meal with the remaining pork. For instance, “beef boiled in a crust” is how the phrase was described in the 1787 book A Provincial Glossary.
Outside of Pigeons in a Hole, which may be found in Hannah Glasse’s cookbook, the word “hole” first appeared in the 1900 edition of Notes & Queries. Which defined the dish as a “batter-pudding with a hole in the middle holding meat.”
Contrary to common misconception, there is no evidence that the meal has ever included toad. The name’s origin is unknown, however it could be a reference to how toads wait for their prey in their burrows by sticking their heads out of the ground, much like how sausages do with batter.
