Spaceballstheusername,

No this is the most insane thing my wife calls them pigs in a blanket. I told her that’s not what it’s called that’s something else but she refuses and is trying to have our children call it that as well. I’ve married a psycho.

qarbone,

It’s not too late. If you crack enough eggs on her head, you might be able to scramble her brains and hard reset her.

Aren’t pigs in a blanket when you wrap a sausage in a pancake? Hence, you know, pigs?

Bacon, isn’t it?

Ehoalid,

Our use of that term is a hot dog wrapped in biscuit, similar idea.

Toad-in-the-hole! Maybe. We only ever had them like once, scrambled eggs were far more common.

palitu,

Toad in the hole. Australia

I have to know where you are from. I have never heard of this as Toad in the hole, and this like the 6th comment in thread I’ve seen of it.

I only know Toad in the hole as Sausage in bread.

I know you don’t want to DOX but just region. NE US, AUS, NZ? I gotta know.

“Toad-in-the-hole” sounds British to me.

Edit: @fluke said “toad-in-the-hole” refers to something else, some other breakfast food.

pyrflie,

British Toad in the hole is Sausage in Bread.

Sausage in Yorkshire pudding! Unless that’s called bread in the US in which case we are several layers deep into this word inception.

pyrflie,

Close enough, but yes.

British pudding in the situation called out is close enough for me. If they are willing to pervert toast, I’m willing to pervert bread.

Even pudding is getting fucked in the ass with this metaphor.

@killeronthecorner@lemmy.world avatar

AFAIA, The pudding part is because pudding referred to meat dishes long before it was used for sweet dishes, and yorkshire pudding used to be exclusively served with meat - which is likely tightly linked to the original meaning of toad in the hole!

MrsDoyle,

It’s bloody delicious too.

(Just say batter, the word “pudding” will make their heads explode.)

killeronthecorner,
@killeronthecorner@lemmy.world avatar

It’s batter pre-cook, pudding post-cook, and yes you’re damn right it’s bloody delicious.

fluke,

Then what is a pancake? Same batter, but different cooking method.

killeronthecorner,
@killeronthecorner@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly! Fried instead of baked.

Peppycito,

Ontario Canada. Toad in the hole/egg in the hole. Piggy in a blanket is a sausage wrapped in a pancake.

swordsmanluke,

Not GP, but I’ve always called this Toad in the hole. Western USA.

modcolocko,

South Georgian here, we also call it this.

flubba86,

I’m in Australia, we call this one with an egg “toad in a hole”, I’ve never seen the one with a sausage.

Eggs in a basket, toad in a hole, one eyed jack, eggs in a nest

Isn’t toad in the hood sausages in Yorkshire pudding?

funkless_eck,

yes.

TechLich,

“Toad in the Hood” is the gritty HBO sequel to “The Wind in the Willows” that takes place after Toad breaks out of prison.

Eggs in a basket.

9point6,

This is the answer. At least, it’s the only thing I’ve ever heard someone not from the internet call it.

waz,

I learned this term for it from the film V for Vendetta which isn’t a great source but seems more reliable than the crazy people in this thread.

BowtiesAreCool,

I’ve never understood this “dish” I’d pretty much 100% if the time prefer a fried egg on an in tact piece of toast.

normalexit,

To me it’s just something fun to do when I’m bored with scrambled and over easy. Also if you use a good amount of butter in the pan, you can fry the little chunk of bread that was removed and that tastes great.

HamSwagwich,

Toad in a hole is what I’ve always heard it called

Mr_Dr_Oink,

Toad in the hole is sausages in a big yorkshire pudding.

The name must have been appropriated to refer to this eggy bread meal.

To be fair, I’ve never heard a name for it before.

spare_muppet,

We call this egg-in-the-hole, which I am just realizing is not very original, but there it is. It is also necessary to fry the bread “holes” they are a nice bonus.

misophist,

This. Egg-in-a-hole is the name for it in my country.

zurohki,

I’d call that one a ‘blue plate’.

tooclose104,
@tooclose104@lemmy.ca avatar

I see more green than blue, like a seafoam green.

I’m curious what others see? My wife and I have this back and forth of what’s a shade of blue vs green with some things around the house. Gar as I know I’m not colour blind, but I’m aware that some people have better colour perception than others so it really does make me wonder.

CmdrShepard,

“Egg in toast”.

“Egg in bread” for us.

Telcontar,

I grew up calling them egg on toast lol. We weren’t only unimaginative, we couldn’t even describe the food right

Chainweasel,

Egg in a basket

Chozo,

This is what we called it in my household, as well.

AFKBRBChocolate,

Not sure it has a “correct” name. I grew up having it called “egg in a hole,” but depending on where you’re from there are different names. I know people who call it “egg in a nest.” Wikipedia says:

There are many names for the dish, including “bullseye eggs”, “eggs in a frame”, “egg in a hole”, “eggs in a nest”, “gashouse eggs”, “gashouse special”, “gasthaus eggs”, “hole in one”, “one-eyed Jack”, “one-eyed Pete”, “one-eyed Sam”, “pirate’s eye”, and “popeye”.[7][8][9][10] The name “toad in the hole” is sometimes used for this dish,[7] though that name more commonly refers to sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding batter.

@squiblet@kbin.social avatar

"Gashouse eggs" is the one I've heard most. Nice Great Depression-era ring to it.

rtfm_modular,

I can also attest to hearing “eggs in a basket” and “toad in a hole” growing up. My son has just dubbed the dish “egg bread” and requested it almost daily. He also calls fried eggs “dip eggs” and boiled eggs “shape eggs.” He was probably 3 when he solidified these terms, but they have all stuck, 6 years later.

fluke,

Toad in a hole in the UK is a vastly different dish of sausages baked into a Yorkshire pudding

Fanny means something different there too. Ain’t dialect a thing?

DrBob,
@DrBob@lemmy.ca avatar

Brits call sausage in toast toad in the hole. On this side of the Atlantic it’s egg .

IvanOverdrive,

In Canada we would call it Texas Toast. But it’s usually thicker square, white bread.

DrBob, (edited )
@DrBob@lemmy.ca avatar

We don’t call it that. It’s just thick toast. And the dish is toad-in-the-hole.

eta: yes I know the British toad is a different dish. Fanny means something different there too.
