Recipes like Toad-in-the-Hole appeared in print dating back to 1762, where it is unpleasantly described as, vulgar... largely for the meagre pieces of beef baked in a large pudding. Toad in the Hole, originated from the United Kingdom in particularly, England, and was originally created as a way to stretch out meat in poorer households. Today this once vague dish has become more clear with pork sausages being the preferred meat although you may use pieces of beef or lamb. Many have revised this dish with the addition of fresh herbs, chunks of apples and lashings of gravy to refresh and stretch Toad in the Hole even further, reaching a new culinary palette. I made this as our Samhain dinner and served it with a mushroom gravy. The recipe I used was from Tony Singh's Tasty cookbook, which I highly recommend!
