Same reason a prairie oyster doesn't have an oyster in it.

And bombay duck isn't a duck.

Etc ...

(The Wikipedia entry uses a lot of page space to say "we don't really know").

What's a toilet's favourite meal?

Turd in the hole!

Just read that to my son. He thought it was hilarious. He's still laughing.

Oh, apparently he's just put your joke on RuneScape.

I've read that it refers to the fact it looks like penises sticking in to vaginas. I guess toad in the hole was an old phrase for intercourse.
