That can't possibly be a "dish." That looks like a gigantic worm in a compost pile. I'm a very hopeful vegan and not very good a limericks.

Spotted Dick?

Hmm. Well we did see the spotted dick in an earlier blog, so I know that's not what this is. It looks like some sort of prehistoric, eyeless worm to me.

I'm going to keep this open for another day or so.

Northsylvania wins it!

It was an unusual presentation in that the pub in question, the Black Friar (by Blackfriars Bridge, natch) formed the Yorkshire Pudding into a platter, on which the rest of the meal was served. Kind of like a bread bowl.

When I've had Toad In The Hole at other places, they've used the pudding to form a little case around the sausage (I would guess that's the origin of the "Toad in the Hole" name), making it just a fancy English pig-in-a-blanket.

So, it's basically compost.

Looked to me like that toad had a little more company than usual.
Was it good? English sausages might turn me into a vegetarian if in fact they classify as meat.

It was pretty good. Couldn't eat all the pudding, though.
