Yup--toad in the hole (or sausage toad) is sausages cooked in a batter in the oven...it's like a sausage Yorkshire pudding almost. It's an evening meal...very cheap to make. I like it!

OH-- are you familiar with "spotted dick"?!!!!!
OMG...am I.....LOL.....my teenage son and nephew saw some of that in a store down here once....and yeah....you can imagine where they went to with it....LOL.....and I was with them....Oh my.....it was an interesting shopping trip with them laughing through the isles

Did the can have a photo on it?? It is hilarious whenever someone says it!!! It's like a plum pudding, I guess the can shape gives it the "dick" part....and the spots are from raisins or some such dried fruit that is visible on the outside. They serve it with something like a thin frosting or custard. Can't remember which. It's been a while since I've had it!!!!!!

yeah it had a pic....LOL.....but they were 17 and 19 at the time...LOL....all they needed was the name

After I read "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" out loud to my daughter's (She is my eldest and lives about three hours away from CEK and 90 min from Eastcoast) second grade class, I had a Mr. Tumnus Tea party at which I also served MnM's and potato chips as stand ins for Turkish Delight, which I then did not know how to make but do now. Only a couple of children were adventurous and brave enough to eat the sardines on toast. The rest politely said, "No thank you." and skipped it.

LOL....I would be with the "no thank you group"

LOL....my mom says "sardines aren't fish....they're bait"...LOL
Me too!!

Well....these are tomatoes from a can!!! I would go for a fresh 'mater sandwich, but the stewed version....eh?....
Oh ....uggg......that seems like it would be mushy....ummmm......yeah....ummmm....I'll stick with fresh tomatos

Yup....me too

OK and I don't think it's tea party food ....but if we're doing the England thing we have to have "Bangers and Mash"

When I was in grade school.... we had a teacher who made Stone Soup for us.

Remember that tale?

I remember that from my kids' school but not from my own! I probably wasn't paying attention that day!! LOL

Yes, I remember it. What a great teacher! Hey, have any of you read any of Jan Karon's books from The Mitford series? To add to the sweets at our tea we should have some Esther's prize winning Orange Marmalade Cake.
I was unable to bring the photo and the recipe over, but here is the link: http://www.talkofthehouse.com/loving-mitford-orange-marmalade-cake.
