Toad in the Hole

A chef friend had a post about a new item on the menu in her café: toad in the hole, a traditional pub food in England. That gave inspiration to a wife who has to think of three meals to cook every day.

I didn’t drink at all and was only a rare customer to pubs when I was in England. Even when I went to pubs, among friends, I was notorious for ordering hot tea. Eating out was a rare option because of cost and feeling timid  before new things. Toad in the hole, a typical English dish, was alien to me until this time I made it myself in Japan and almost thirteen years after I left England.

Since the authentic taste was unknown to me, I could not give a fair judgment on the quality of my own cooking. However, the fully grown Yorkshire puddings was a satisfying seven to see.

Somehow I came to know more about English life after I left there.
