My sausage vanished

[QuestionableMouse]

Made toad in the hole for tea, put three whole sausages in. Just took it out of the oven and there's only two and a half in the dish. It's not in the dish (I've scraped it out well), not in the oven and I live alone so no spoony fuckers to interfere. Ideas please? I feel like I'm going mad!

(Also please no judging my batter - first time I've used GF flour for this and it didn't go quite right!)

This is what sprung to my mind when I saw the title 🫣

.

Yes?

Pork and apple sausage isn't that unusual, is it?

I think you just couldn't stop yourself and took a big bite as you placed them in the dish.
We had toad tonight, I put 6 sausages in the toad and kept two aside for a secret sausage sandwich for breakfast once They've all left the house . Now I'm stuck at the kitchen table guarding the fridge in case any unauthorised person finds me sosidges.

I wish! Genuinely didn't, even rang my sister back and asked her because we were on a video call while I was putting it out.

Do you own a cat?

🤣🤣

Three but they were all shut out of the kitchen until it was in the oven and I was right next to the dish the whole time after it came out!

The culprit in my house would be the cat 🙄

This isn't funny, will the guilty party please RETURN THE SAUSAGES

I've had a really shit day at work OP, this thread so far has really made me chuckle.

I am sorry for your lost sausage though. I'm too late for the Keir joke 😆

What's the brownish sausage looking bit in the rectangle it isn't sausage?

The apple is clear.

Am I the only one dreading washing that dish up?

It was a fragment of sausage smaller than my thumbnail!

Recommend cornflower for gluten free Yorkshire puddings OP x

See?

Not looking forward to washing it either! Think it'll be fine though, it's soaking ATM then will go through the dishwasher.

My sausage disappeared but that might be old age.

🤣

I’m also wondering if this is a thing?!

That’s a big dish for toad in the hole for only 3 sausages, no wonder one got lost!

It will be a gap in the space/time continuum.

I was once chopping mushrooms, one fell onto the floor, whole, and completely disappeared

There was nowhere in the kitchen it could have gone. No gaps, no open drawers or spaces under the fridge etc. Vanished.

I have never been able to explain it.

It's really not big at all!

At least sausage goes well with mushrooms!

No, compare it to the gas burners. It's a pretty small dish
