Hi there, It is my pleasure to share with you this Mothers Day offering from Robbie Cheadle who blogs at https://robbiesinspiration.wordpress.com. …
ROBBIE CHEADLE’S MOTHERS DAY STORY
Thank you to Bernadette for sharing my Mothers Day recipe, Toad in the Hole. This series of posts about mothers and their favourite recipes is wonderful.
Robbie's inspiration 
Yes, Mom’s dad was British and Irish, so while the food was English, it was always accompanied by Irish whiskey! BTW her mother was 100% German. We were raised with many marvelous food traditions.

Funnily enough, our Toad in the Hole recipe is just an egg fried in a hole in a slice of bread!

I looked it up. Apparently, some call my dish ‘Toad in the Hole,’ and others a variety of things from ‘Frog in the Hole’ to ‘Egg in a Basket.’

Interesting that your mum perfected a dish that she’d had poor experiences of in her childhood. I’ve never had toad in the hole, but bangers and mash was a frequent meal of my childhood.

Hi Norah, my mom’s mother was a poor cook so my mom never squired a taste for her Yorkshire pudding. She likes mine 😉

The name is rather horrible 🤣. Chel said that in Utah this name is used for an egg cooked inside a hole in a piece of bread.
