this monster (I was encouraged by another thread MN, PLEASE don't delete me, it's the best I've ever made, it's not really a TAAT).

We have steamed carrots and cabbage and boiled spuds to go with it. Plus, instamatic gravy (as called in this house, sorry).

Lovely - also nice with beans...

PurpleDaisies · 03/10/2017 20:04

There's not much I miss since going veggie but that has really got the cravings going.
That's a thing of beauty.

Dh and DD would be overjoyed by the toad in the hole, but would be disappointed to get boiled potatoes with it - they'd much much much prefer mash.

OSETmum · 03/10/2017 20:11

Yabu to serve boiled potatoes, get them mashed!

Tartyflette · 03/10/2017 20:13

A not-so-stealth boast! And why not? (channels Barry Norman)
Love it.
FWIW we had some very disappointing Merguez sausages for dinner. Nothing like the real thing, a pallid imitation from a local sausage maker who is lauded to the skies but really is not all that.
Your toad in the hole looks awesome.

WaxOnFeckOff · 03/10/2017 20:13

You don't need spuds at all - you have hole!

SisyphusHadItEasy · 03/10/2017 20:14

Thank you HSMM

CalmanOnSpeeddial · 03/10/2017 20:16

Bloody hell. I’m on a fast day so I’m cooking barley and broccoli risotto while watching Bake Off and reading MN threads about chocolate croissants and toad in the hole Sad.

However the answer to your question is that if you don’t have onion gravy then YABU.

Spakledsockmonkey · 03/10/2017 20:18

Mine never looks like that. I so want some.

SunnySkiesSleepsintheMorning · 03/10/2017 20:20

Is there any left for me? I’ll bring wine.

ZuzuMyLittleGingersnap · 03/10/2017 20:21

Your snags look beaut, OP, and your batter a testament to melt-in-the-mouth airy deliciousness. Grin

Bet there are people all over the place now craving Toad-In-the-Hole comfort food.

IshouldntcareaboutthisbutIdo · 03/10/2017 20:24

hhmm - arrrghhh - looks amazing OP - mine not quite so risen!! and thanks for the mash reminder, other posters Grin

overnightangel · 03/10/2017 20:27

Add to it ....
Onion gravy
Peas/Broccoli /Cauliflower
Fried leeks

Sorted

TheMythOfFingerprints · 03/10/2017 20:29

waxon what?! No potatoes needed because there's yorkshire?

That's one of the saddest things I've ever read Sad

ZuzuMyLittleGingersnap · 03/10/2017 20:31

Calman,

I feel your pain. My veg stir-fry came a poor second to OP's supper.

We've clearly both resorted to gastro porn. Grin

Whowouldfardelsbear · 03/10/2017 20:33

DH serves his with chips and gravy. Not that im objecting.

Thingsiseeinmybathroom · 03/10/2017 20:36

Hulababy OSETmum
But then you don't get the fun of fork-mushing your boilers in with the gravy and veg and making pogle pie!!

averythinline · 03/10/2017 20:45

best recipe ever ...

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2006/oct/28/recipes.maincourse

I don't always add the extra egg white, but its never gone wrong even in my not great lopsided oven...

dataandspot · 03/10/2017 20:46

Purple daisies

Can't you just use vege sausages or be lazy like me and buy aunt bessies ready made vege one?!

Mummyoflittledragon · 03/10/2017 20:49

Octuplets and all boys. How speshul. Makes me go fuzzy and warm inside. Or is it a molar I see there?

Italiangreyhound · 03/10/2017 20:50

Yum

0to3SadOnions · 03/10/2017 20:59

Looks yum!

We had toad in the hole last night but I had to use cocktail sausages cos I didn't have any big ones.

PurpleDaisies · 03/10/2017 21:04

Is the aunt Bessie veggie one nice data? I don't mind veggie sausages but they're not the same as proper ones, especially in toad in the hole.

I totally accept it's my own fault for choosing to be veggie but missing the meat today.

BikeRunSki · 03/10/2017 21:06

PurpleDaisies cauldron veggie sausages make very good Toads.
