Sausages

[racoony]

Why is it that when sausages are wrapped in bacon they are called "Pigs in blankets", but when cooked in Yorkshire pudding they are known as "toad in the hole"?

[Buenchico]

. . . and when not cooked at all, they're known as 'banned' ;-)

...and when stuck in a bread roll they are a 'hot dog'.

Toad in the hole is a corruption of Turd in the hole, from the resemblance of the sausage.

How do you know it's a corruption? You have now put me off sausages for life.

Pork is from a pig .. wrapped in bacon .. is it's blanket. Toad in the hole .. googling is hit & miss .. but found that,perhaps when the sausage is partially shown through the batter it could look like the back of a toad, and the Yorkshire is the hole? Hotdog, the trunk shape of a 'dog' hot in a roll?

As Eleanor says there are a few notions of how the name came to be.

Oysters in bacon is angels on horseback.

I had never heard the expression "pigs in blankets" unril about a year ago. We had it at school and it was never called that

Turd in the hurl - if you belong Ashington

[Jackdaw33]

Funnily enough I live only 20 miles from Ashington. They do speak rather funny up there.

Pitmatic

[Jackdaw33]

That's the word I was trying to remember.

Clearly bangers are just so versatile.
All praise the hog !

they call it that in Hull too - the place where if someone calls you on your mobile, you receive a fern curl.......

Bloke goes into a barber's in Ashington and asks for a perm.
The barber replies, "I wandered lonely as a cloud..."
