What do you have with toad in the hole?

Aside from gravy by the jugful and peas?

Does it need anything else with it in your household?
We have cauliflower cheese (made extra yesterday) or mashed potatoes today.
Some days it's just as is.

Baked beans have no place with a toad in the hole, and putting them on the same plate as gravy should be a criminal offence.

My toad in the hole is always enormous so I don’t think it needs mash, but I make some for the kids as they have less veg. I like buttered cabbage, tenderstem broccoli and carrots (roasted if I can be bothered). Plus lots and lots of gravy of Northern thickness. No weak and weedy southern jus please!

If I’m eating out, I always tell the waitress that I like some food with my gravy 😂

I am a southerner and can assure you that there’s no weak gravy in this household. Nothing resembling a jus will be touching my TITH or roast dinners.

Peas and gravy

Onion gravy and a green vegetable, preferably NOT peas (much as I love them with other things).

Onion gravy and a green vegetable.
But also, based on a Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall recipe, I put apple slices in the toad in the hole, which goes really well.

Green veg and gravy. No potatoes and definitely not cauliflower cheese, it can't be on the same plate as gravy.

Red cabbage and cauliflower cheese

I wouldn't have peas but would have cauliflower, brussels sprouts or broccoli and swede plus probably mashed potato and the gravy must be quite thick.

Toad in the hole is one of my favourite meals, proper comfort food I think.

we have it with roast potatoes/cauliflower cheese/cabbage/carrots etc yanno as a roast?

Toad in the hole and cauliflower cheese sounds very indulgent! - this is such a British thing to say!

We have baked beans (no peas).

Tonight I’ve gone “posh” and had deconstructed toad in the hole 😂

Sausages, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, peas and lots of lovely thick gravy. Perfect for a wet and windy evening.
