    Anna, JT,
    If you try beans on toast, you need to use British baked beans: they're baked, steamed or stewed haricot beans in a tomato sauce - much more appetizing and less sweet than US baked beans which are usually navy beans, in a sauce often containing honey or molasses.
    To enhance the flavour of beans on toast, try adding a little Worcestershire sauce to the beans while heating them, or even mixing in a dollop of (British) Brown sauce. Finishing off with grated cheese or even a slice of cheese after the toast is topped with beans (and then returning the plate to the grill to melt the cheese,) really enhances the flavour.
    Not a cordon bleu dish by a long way, but excellent as quick and wholesome comfort food.

    Black pudding is absolutely lush! Its got herbs and spices in it and is one of those foods that taste better than their origins suggest. Toad in the hole is literally just sausages placed in a casserole dish, which is then given a small layer of oil followed by what is basically waffle batter around it.

    If you have heard of "Yorkshire Pudding", then you know what the non-sausage part of "Toad in the Hole" is. It is just Yorkshire pudding batter, with sausages in it, which is then baked.
    It's very nice, especially served with baked beans!

    It has close relatives in other countries, sometimes known as blood pudding, obvious reasons. It's origins go wayyyy back to medieval times and it was considered a delicacy. It was originally made from the blood of enemies and served to the victorious King/leader. Today, its just from pigs though... darn health and safety gone mad I guess 😂

      The batter is the same as a Yorkshire Pudding mix, not a pancake mix; I know that I'm being pedantic, as both batters are made from flour, eggs and milk, but it is the final ingredient: salt or sugar, which differentiates the two batters.

    Black pudding is one of the oldest dishes you can get. Even the ancient Spartans ate it. In Germany we have various blood sausages/puddings, e.g. Gruetzwurst, we eat with boiled potatoes and Sauerkraut or on rye bread. It's delicious and very sustainable, because it is part of the concept "from snout to tail". You can't take an animals life and only eat filet and schnitzel.

    The oatmeal helps to bind all the ingredients together in a black pudding. It has quite a lot of seasoning in as well and yes, it's one of the foods not allowed in the States. You guys don't know what you're missing - it's lovely (and iron-rich from the blood).
    Suet is little bits of caul fat and used in lots of different foods - the (non-veggie/vegan version of) mincemeat of mince pies, suet puddings and dumplings among them.
    Toad in the Hole is basically sausages baked in Yorkshire pudding batter. It's lovely!
    Steak and kidney pie is lovely too and you can also get steak and kidney pudding that's made with a suet pastry and the whole lot is boiled instead of being baked like the pie.
    Spotted Dick - gotta have that one with custard! It's a sweet dessert.
    Haggis is fab too. It's eaten widely on Burns Night with neeps and tatties (turnips and potatoes).
    Beans on toast is a brillliantly multi-purpose snack meal - you can eat it for any meal and it's great! Heinz Beans are the best. Toast and butter two slices of bread, warm the beans up in a pan on the cooker or in a bowl in the microwave - don't boil them though! When they are heated up, all you do is pour them over the buttered toast. You can have unbuttered toast if you prefer, some people don't like butter.

    Basically Toad in the hole is a Sausage in a bath of giant Yorkshire pudding mix.
    Yorkshire pudding is basically the same mixture as a UK pancake (not similar to american pancakes). But rather than fried in a shallow pan, its cooked in the oven and allowed to overflow the sides of the container and they grow absolutely massive. (Usually misshapen, which adds to the charm)

    Anna & JT. I'm not sure you'd get the real 'Beans on Toast' experience over there as, even with a tin of UK beans, your butter and bread are not like ours.
    Your bread has 6 times more sugar than UK bread and your butter is made slightly differently (Typically churned longer than American butter, European butter has between 82 and 85 percent butterfat. It also has a richer taste, softer texture, and is brighter yellow in colour than its American counterpart.). Given those items are different, you'd need to find unsweetened bread (if that's a thing in the US) to make a difference.

    Black pudding (normally called blood pudding in the USA) isn't banned in America, you're thinking of haggis because that contains sheeps lungs in it.

      I love haggis. When I was a child it wasn't widely available outside Scotland. I do miss old-fashioned black pudding a lot. It used to be a lot more velvety in texture but I think it disappeared after small local rural abbatoirs (often attached to a butcher's shop) stopped being the norm. Commercial black pudding apparently now has to be made with pasteurised dried blood. The nearest thing I've had in the last 25 years to old-fashioned black pudding is Boudin Noir, the French version which is served with mashed potato and stewed apple (not too sweet). It has that lovely velvety texture.

    The ingredients for black puddings do vary as you go to different places around the country but mainly they consist of whatever grain is readily available, in Scotland this is usually pinhead oats which are finely milled whereas in Yorkshire and Lancashire and down into the midlands we are more likely to use barley or more specifically pearled barley which is barley which has been rubbed and polished to remove the husk from the barley grains. Further south the preference is for a mixed grain including wheat and barley which again is pearled. Unless you’re killing your pig at home, it is very unlikely that you will have the blood in it’s natural state as this is a result of Government interference and most pudding makers nowadays use an imported dried blood from Holland which is easily rehydrated and works really well. The third ingredient in most puddings is fresh white flare fat diced to suit the texture that is needed, then quickly blanched in boiling water and added to the mixture. Finally the pudding maker will add a time honoured blend of assorted mixed dried herbs and spices and it all is throughly mixed together, then poured or piped into throughly cleaned natural sausage casings and tied into individual link’s which are then then lowered into large pans of hot water which is just off the boil. After being cooked in this manner the puddings are checked and sometimes pricked with a pin to relieve any pressure and then the now grey looking puddings are hung up to dry and take on the more appetising black colour, once they are set up they can now be hung up on display for sale to be taken home and sliced and fried to join with other ingredients for a classic English breakfast or maybe to join with fried scallops for a tasty supper dish.

      Mars bar is the most popular. It sounds absolutely wrong in theory, but those things are insanely tasty and totally worth trying at least once. 1st bite is a tester, 2nd bite is a revelation, 3rd bite is sickly, 4th bite is ill-advised. In small quantities, they're delicious, but excess will get really sickly very quickly.

So much so, they made themselves the same dish the following morning and emptied out my Heinz baked beans stash!!
    Also, black pudding, may sound terrible, and may not look appetizing, but it has a really nice savory taste & when served with a nice soft poached egg & grilled mushrooms, is really tasty.

    Beans on toast, you need thick sliced bread toasted and buttered well. Open a can of beans Heinz in tomato sauce if possible, heat in a pan then pour over the beans. Some people put grated cheese on top. I am English but hate beans. Scotch eggs are great hot or cold. Black pudding (you can get it without the lumps of fat) fried with a full breakfast it is lovely. Haggis is good too it is like a sort of peppery minced beef, eat with mashed potato and mashed swede. Suet pudding are very popular here in the North of England where I am from, it is made the same way as any other sponge pudding but the fat is substituted for grated suet (which we can buy in packets). Cooking is done in a basin, covered and steamed. For speed you can do it in the microwave instead. You can put any of your favourite jam or jelly in the bottom of the basin (cooking bowl) and when you turn it out onto a plate the hot jam or jelly runs down the side. My favourite is with Golden Syrup We always have a sauce (custard) made with custard powder, sugar and milk. Our gravy with meat is always made from a stock cube dissolved in 1 pint of water and added to the pan the meat was roasted in, seasoned with salt and pepper and thickened with cornflour.

    Toad recipe: 300g sieved plain flour in a large bowl. Add a teaspoon of salt. Make a well in the flour with a wooden spoon. Break in six eggs. Add slowly stir in 400ml of semi skimmed milk and 100ml water and then whisk until you get a smooth batter. Preheat oven very hot. In a metal deep oven tray put 4 tablespoons vegetable oil and 12 sausages (use nice chunky sausages like Cumberlands). Bake in oven for 10 mins. Pour batter quickly around the sausages and return to the oven - the trick is to keep everything hot. Do NOT open the door for at least 25 minutes = will be ready in 30 mins. Serve with English onion gravy, mashed potato and a green veg (broccoli, green beans etc).
