    Toad in the hole is Yorkshire pudding mix with sausages.

  • @sheilajoseph9953
    @sheilajoseph9953 7 месяцев назад +3

    I was laughing when you wrapped the sausage in pastry. 😂
    Toad in the hole Yorkshire pudding once made up pour over sausages and bake in oven. 😊
    Delish with onion gravy. 💚

    @Mike_Halewood 7 месяцев назад +3

    We love your videos, Scotland is such a beautiful place. But, that is not a road in the hole lol. More like an open sausage roll. Toad in the hole has to be Yorkshire pudding and sausage. 👍🏻

    • @highlands2hammocks
      @highlands2hammocks  7 месяцев назад

      Haha I thought that too 😂 will need to do that next tine

    I was going to tell you, but I see other already did; Toad-in the Hole is a batter mix poured over the sausages. You can flour it like the Yorkshire style, or go more my mother's version which is minus the flour and closer to an omlette mix. Golly though, this Bonny Land sure does sing even in the driech! You are fab ambassadors for oor wee country. You really don't need to worry about being too regular over the next period... working up to wedding is widely acknowledge as one of the great stresses (and joys) of life!!! YAM xx

    You really can't beat the drive through Glen Coe. I think my ideal job might be to drive the Inverness to Glasgow bus!

    • @highlands2hammocks
      @highlands2hammocks  7 месяцев назад

      Absolutely! 😍 although driving a bus on those roads would be nerve wracking 😂

    No bread for ducks! (Junk food) Give them some of your dried oats instead - they will be your best friends and it is far more nutritious for them 😊

    Hi love the channel we have been caravaners for 35+ years regarding your gas fire we were given a tip if you turn the dial down to the pilot light not off it burns minimum gas maintains some heat and you can turn it back up if needed hope this helps keep up the good work

    Beautiful scenery. Scotland is somehow still unspoilt especially as you go north.

    Hi Gemma and Campbell. Another good one. Hope that you have managed to survive the bad weather over the last 4 weeks or so. Is Glencoe more of a favourite than Skye? From a very cold West Sussex by the Sea. Regards Crawford

    • @highlands2hammocks
      @highlands2hammocks  7 месяцев назад

      Thanks for watching Crawford 😁 ooh it’s tough, but I’d say yes because of how close it is to Glasgow ☺️ Skye is amazing but man is it far away!

    • @crawfordg
      @crawfordg 7 месяцев назад

      @@highlands2hammocks Yes I agree Skye is remote even with the Bridge. We were going to move to Skye nearly 15 years ago but it would have been very impractical i.e. nearly 3 hours on a good day to Inverness plus family live at the end of the country!

    We are due baby no.2 in june and still want to finish our van and move into it. I keep telling people I feel I'm lacking the freedom and have this want of adventure 😭 I hope if we can we will finish the van fully and get to achieve this one day🤞 had our van 2 years now but due to lack of funds and time if not even near complete 😢

    • @highlands2hammocks
      @highlands2hammocks  7 месяцев назад
