It doesn't matter what I cook to go with it, it just seems like an afterthough plonked on the side of the plate! (I can't cook veg mixed in as DH is too picky)

pease. You can pour them around it and make it look artistic.

I do not cook any side veg with it but usually serve it with a "giant" salad and italian dressing. goes down very well here!

Cabbage, usually. Anything dark green and slathered in gravy! Carrots could go well too.

Do the courgettes... salt them before cooking, rinse off the fluid that comes out, then saute them really slowly in some olive oil with a bit of garlic... truly scrumptious!

Toad in the hole with SALAD !!! No, that's just wrong.

Baby carrots and broccolli in this house, with thick onion gravy.

Oh no, I now YEARN for Toad in the Hole, and we're supposed to be low fat eating ATM.

I need to make 'proper' onion gravy don't I? Mmmmmmm

DH hates onions and so does DD1 so I never bother, but FIL will eat it so I can make it! (even though I am not having any as I am on a diet...)

Mushy peas!

Well exactly colditz.

TBH if I serve it normally it gets peas mixed into baked beans and that's it. It doesn't work with veg at all unless you roast it with the sausies and slather it in batter too.

the same vegetables that go with a roast

carrots beoccoli, swede, onions, butternut squash, peas

a tray of roasted veg (but not tomato or aubergine) goes down well, especially if you're serving it all with onion gravy

Salad just doesn't go, unless it is served first, as a starter.

Caugettes are just too watery.

I am pleased to say that I have never eaten a quorn sausage in my life, and hope to keep it that way.

A sausage is a MEAT product.

Fine if you want to be veggie, but why try to pretend you're eating meat if you are not?

TBH I'd be happy with just the yorkshire pud, veg and onion gravy. But non-meat sausages ???? [shakes head slowly in dis-belief]

Clumsymum, I am not from 'round here . In our house we have to cater for various origines: North Africa, Italy, Switzerland for Dh and I but Dcs are British hence the unusual combination! You should try at least once, be adventurous!

God, I am dribbling for toad in the hole now. Only mine would be the quorn veggie version, sorry. With roast carrots and parsnips, broccoli, peas, and onion gravy...

We have the hallal saussages version here!

I think it is fantastic that a classic dish can be adapted so much!

Sorry gorionine, but as a yorkshire woman, I really do struggle with the idea of salad to accompany a yorkshire pud based product just seems peculiar. Plus, the onion gravy would made the salad sag a bit, surely
