My grandma used to make me toad in the hole in a large blackened roasting tin and never used it for anything else other than Yorkshire puddings and using pure dripping and getting the tin hot and part cooking the sausages in the tin and then poring the batter mix over the sausages in seeing the batter mix part cooked in the hot dripping and fat from sausages and she said never to wash the tin and only wipe it out in your Yorkshire puddings never sticking to the tin and rise to high level and my five siblings having mashed potatoes and vegetables and toad-in-the-hole was a regular treat when we were looked after by my grandma.

I always buy the Aldi one (Fresh) 4 Bangers, £1-99. It would feed two but I scoff the lot myself 😀 Spuds, peas and carrots ,all topped with gravy and lashings of mint sauce. Delicious 😋

I've just discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying your content, you are such a lovely down to earth person

My grandma also used rhubarb slightly stewed and placed in chunks and batter mix like a toad in the hole sprinkle sugar over rhubarb and served with ice cream or fresh cream or custard. Then I have just modified my using pineapple and apple and pears and gooseberry instead of rhubarb. I call it my battered fruit puddings. I just get the tin hot with a little oil or dripping and pour in the batter mix and quick adding fruits to place in hot oven for approximately 20 minutes. Family and friends always request their own choices in fruits to their liking.

Hi how you doing mate, the serving suggestion refers to the photos on the products, hope this helps big man lol

It's the same mix as a Yorkshire pudding, so if part of it looks like a pudding it's cooked right. If it's all crisp and no pudding it's not worth eating. If your making it yourself make the batter the evening before or in the next morning to let the flour soak, an extra yolk will give you extra crisp on top and lightly pre browning the sausages help. Personally I like a good inch of pudding on the bottom and no chemicals.

Hi Gareth, I enjoyed your livestream yesterday, it was great fun. Once you got yourself going in the kitchen it went a lot smoother with your t’internet 😂 Both of the toad in the hole looked nice, probably I’d go for Aunt Bessie’s for no other reason than the batter looked nicer. Great review again Gareth Take care and stay safe 😘 xxx

A toad in the hole off, Jesus that's something I'd never thought I'd hear

Aww thanks for shout out Gareth 🥰..... Really enjoy your channel ...you kept us entertained cooking tea Sunday haha.... Had you on kitchen telly... Looking forward to your next live xx

Just put me in the mood or this, Love it, GREAT video x

They both looked really nice, I'm usually more concerned about the quality of the sausage...the batter can be really tasty but a poor quality tasting sausage can undo that in moments. My mum used to do an extra large Yorkshire pudding in a roasting tin come Sunday dinner. Crispy and light on the outside and centre was also slightly claggy but this was how we liked it as it soaked up all the juices and gravy of the meat. Mum would use beef dripping to make the yorkshire. Also leftover yorkshire pud would get spread with thick strawberry jam for afters....yum!

Have not had toad in t' hole for years. Tempted now

Yum! Love a toad in the hole… can’t beat aunt Bessie’s! Well so I thought lol… smashing review as always xx

I think one of the problems with cooking the Yorkshire pudding part is that they put oil in the tray to help cook the Yorkshire pudding but it just heats up as the meal is cooked. Where as when you make your own you get the oil hot on its own before you add the mixture. So any of them you buy end up like these both did. Still with gravy they're not bad. You can buy some where the Yorkshire pudding is already cooked. But they can be a bit dry.

Hi, Gareth, not very often you see toad in the hole reviews. Brilliant. Both looked worth the money to be honest. You should try the potato wedges from Aldi. Delicious slices of potatoes with skins still on. Think they are 89p. I swear by em lol.

Hi Gareth, I buy the Iceland one it helps when I cant be arsed making a fresh one, my daughter loves them, anyway thanks for sharing.👍🏻Xx

toad in the hole means something completely different in glasgow,oooooyyaaaaaaah,anyhow i enjoy your approach to your comparison tests, very honest and methodical,good luck.

Your reviews must really help people on a budget. Nice one Gareth. 👍

I love toad in the hole but always found the sausages in frozen ones shite. It's so simple to make good butchers sausages browed off batter mix job done. And you can bung some beer in the batter. Great video as usual

Hi Gaz,thanks for yesterday's live stream! It were proper ACE. 👌

Brilliant vid as always! It would be interesting to see a comparison of Aunt Bessy and Bisto toad in the hole

Aunt Bessie toad in the hole is the nuts with onion gravy new potatoes and peas from cans.lovely.

Peas and gravy good man lol great vid as always, also thanks for liking my cottage pie on insta lol

Aunt Bessies are the best and lovely with onion gravy and peas

Years since I have had toad in the hole. I will definitely try the Aunt Bessie's as don't have an Asda where I live.

How Spooky i'm having the Asda Toad in the hole tonight but with beans and grated cheese , Cheers for the review Gareth

Great video as usual, I have tried both of these and its the Asda one for me- It tastes better and there's less Saturated fat too.

Eh up Gazza. Amazing video. My american wife watches this video too. I think she thought toad in the whole was something totally different. Cant believe you read a few of my comments on the sunday livestream. I'm star struck I will never clean my phone screen ever again. Thank you for the entertaining videos. Cant wait to see your photos of earlier years. Have you ever thought of cooking a recipe from scratch next time on your love stream. You cooked call it Gazzas cookathon. Keep up the good work.

Thanks again Gareth, on days I can't do the whisking or even hold the electric one cause of my hands, I know now Asda seems better, until I watch your Aldi one next after reading the comments! :)

This looks lovely gareth! Over the years I must tell you that ive got better making homemade toad-in-the-hole. (Good to have some spare in the freezer thank you for this video x

Another great review mate I think I would go with the ASDA one to👍, really enjoyed the live stream on Sunday made my Sunday 😂 enjoyed the Bombay bad boy review 🥵😂 keep up the good work 🍻

Thanks for another honest review our foodie Pal!

Hey my good man, great review as ever. I was thinking (which is very dangerous), how about cooking some of these types of meals just to show how much better and how much cheaper they are when cooked by yourself? I know you say your not a chef but from what I've seen, you are pretty handy in the kitchen. Just an idea mate.

Hi Garath, tried the Aldi toad in the hole, very nice, i;m not one for cheap sausages but the sausages in the Aldi one are very tasty.

Love watching this channel also ups a smile on my face

Love the extra sausage grin/laugh @ 1:21🤣

Love your reviews thanks for sharing x

😂😂😂quality big man 😂😂 In Scotland “toad in the hole “ means somthing completely different 😂😂😂👍👍

Good honest review again mate, I like the look of the asda. But as you said aunt bessy dose do nice Yorkshire puds.

Thanks buddy great review, Toad in the Hole from Aldi is ok you get Four sausage, it supposed to be for two people but I think you would need one each . Like you said homemade with butchers sausage is the best . But Aldi one is fine for a quick meal , just add some Potatoes , Vegetables and gravy. Did you have a Takeaway last night after your live show . 👍

Gotta have gravy with it "toad in'thole)😁(Brilliant live last night btw)👍

I much prefer to defrost the Toad in the Hole in the fridge overnight, and then cook the pudding and sausages separately.

Asda Chicken roast, cooked in oven and not microwave. A homemade large yorkshire, put in the oven 20 minutes before end of chicken roast cooking time, and then as much of the roast put into the pudding as possible. Handsome - and oven cooking the chicken roast crispens the potatoes too.

Nice review gareth I've put gravy on it Enjoyed watching Best wishes

Love your videos Gareth, make sure you get the super fast broadband mate. Cheers 👍.

More power to your elbow, there are so many of us making do by watching the pennies very carefully. Your info is diamond for those of use who don't have the spare cash to save up to buy in bulk etc. I live down South but certainly the rents are higher here and therefore less to go to grub etc. Take care and good luck to you and your family Cheers Tony

I had an Aunt Bessie's a few days ago. It was nice but I prefer the Morrisons one where you get four sausages which, at a pinch can serve two people. The sausages were nicer and the batter was better too. Defo needs gravy with it though.

Form me Gareth it would be the ASDA one if there’s not much difference between taste, a huge heap of mashed potatoes and either cabbage or sprouts, gravy just as you have, with salt and white pepper. Cheers for the great review pal, keep it up.

Do a homemade one - wrap some bacon around the sausages and make it a pigs in blankets toad in the hole! Delicious!

I love toad in the hole and I love see more of of your videos

Another great review pal 👍 iceland ones are pretty good aswell u get 4 sausages and they are a quid

Hope the head's ok this morning. I joined you for an early drink yesterday and couldn't keep my eyes open by 7pm.

Simply fascinating. Never ate a toad in the hole. Seems to me like a hot dog baked inside its own bun! I would try it, certainly.

Hi Gareth, you could use those foil tins to make your own toad in the hole, good video as usual.

Lol gaz I haven't had a problem with aunt bessies stuff mate like all there products including roast taters stuffing balls chips Yorkie pads fantastic

I really like the Aldi toad in the hole, the one you reviewed a while back, and only £1.99 what a bargain 😁

I love a soggy Yorkie absolutely spot on as you'd say mate lol

8 hours late to the party as always, I'll stick to making my own toad in the hole, I make a huge one in a big roasting pan I have with 10 sausages and lashings of home made gravy, usually with peas and carrots and home made mash 🤤

Can't go wrong with either at that price. Thanks Gareth.

Love a good sausage

They both looked good to be honest. When I've made my own toad in the hole my batter goes like that as well

I love TITH too but I make my own cos you can chose what bangers to put in and also how you flavour the batter mix ...but after watching your vlog I grabbed the AB one and I was impressed ..but nout like your own effort ..SPOT ON eh ?? lol ..tks fer the vlog as always

Toad in the hole with gravy, absolutely delicious for winters night

Bit of gravy and loads of pepper yum yum.

Good night God bless 🌿 you are starting with a cold, I think 🤔. Lovely video. Thanks 🌸 for mentioning me, that was lovely. Well you are a star 🌟, thanks for all you do.

Iv had both of these,both very nice ,add some baked beans and a couple slices of bread ,and your spot on lol

Love toad in the hole Gareth, great live stream yesterday 👌 👍

This should be interesting, I love toad in the hole too 💜💜💜

Have not had toad in the hole for a long time. I think next time i am in Asda, I will have to buy one :-)

That pastry looked ‘normal’ for a Yorker duff !

Hey Gareth I’m gonna defo try them badboys out 😎they look well tasty 😛 love this channel and I think its SPOT ON 👍

The aunt Bessie's is made on dairycoates industrial estate in hull. It is all part of the jacksons food group, who also make bread but in a different factory on argyle Street in hull.

Looks good, I love a good toad in the hole

No holes barred toad-off…. Ding ding….🥊🥊.

Great review, bfg. The question is do you prefer sausages with mash with gravy or with baked beans ?

Funny I was going make that today Gareth but not good at Yorkies xx😂😂😂😂. Making fish pie bag mixed fish got in Iceland hope it’s good take care great video xx👍👍👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

They are fine to keep in handy ..and so are aunt Bessie's ready made ones but realy love home made with a bit of crunch on edge nint sauce veg spuds and lamb 😋 don't likexsausage soggy bottoms .thanks again...❤👍

G'day Gareth. How fortunate you are to have a Choice of Toadies, even if they're frozen. They both looked equally as good as each other. Whether it's 2 fat or 3 thin sausages in a baked hole with peas and gravy, they'd be very little left on the plate. I have to make the pudding from scratch to enjoy one. I'll cheat and make it out of puff pastry... Easier. Another honest review today Gareth. Cheers 👍😀🤤🇦🇺

Can you do a supermarket Yeast Extract off?

Gotta get a bit of gravy on that Gareth 👍🏻

I'll go for the Aunt Bessies. You forgot mash potatoes to go with the peas :)

Just bought Sainsbury's one today, oddly enough. Looks like they are all doing this, but not frozen tho.

Gareth though they both looked good, Aunt Bessie tiny don't know if just me being greedy but could eat two you made them spot on inside think because frozen they cook like that, really enjoyed Sunday ♥️😋😋😋

Hi wash them and use them in the air frier 👍

I remember many years ago Gaz... When the UK had Netto stores all around the country... I once stopped off at one to grab something for my evening meal... While i was passing by one day... They used to sell a very cheap but very nice tasting frozen Toad In The Hole... It was a pretty decent size too... It was probably about 500g in weight... It was so large... The only thing i used to have with it was Gravy... As for these two versions... They looked pretty good too... I honestly think that the only difference between these two... Was the amount of Yorkshire Pudding Batter they contained... The extra 110g in the Asda version will have been the extra Batter content... Because like you said... Two thick Sausages versus three thin Sausages... Probably evens themselves out really... There's only one real way to make sure that Sausages are properly and evenly cooked in a Toad In The Hole... And that's to brown the Sausages off... Either in a frying pan... Or in the oven first... Prior to adding the Yorkshire Pudding Batter... Those Sausages that are in the frozen versions... Don't look like they've had any amount of cooking prior to being frozen... Probably to avoid any possible food safety issues... So unfortunately the frozen versions will always be playing second best to a fresh homemade Toad In The Hole... But even so... Some of them are still really rather good... Thanks for the review Gaz... All the best... Cheers mate. 🍺

Definitely going to get some of these gareth love toad in the hole with mash peas carrots and gravy and for the price excellent value for your pocket 👍👍😁😁

They are good with mash too and you got to add the gravy to it!

I always buy aunt Bessie‘s toad in the hole nice. 👍

Just a thought....with them being batter based would they rise even more if allowed to defrost first then cook 🤔😋

Homemade which I made the other day with lots of onion gravy 😋

Aunt Bessie's Potatoes are great , you should try those but ive never had the toad in the hole lol funny name that is.

deffo need onion gravy with that! mash and peas too xxx

Great review, both looked good to be honest, Asda wins as you get more for less cash ☺ 👍

just bought the Morrison's one - it has FOUR sausages! - that's right, FOUR! - 99p! - time for a good scran!

GOOD REVIEW GARETH, THERE DOESNT LOOK MUCH BETWEEN THEM OTHER THAN THE PRICE!

I like a toad in the hole myself the Iceland toad in the hole with 4 sausages in it for a £1 are pretty good especially with buttery mash and veg and onion gravy a good quick meal 😊😊

I make a big Yorkshire pudding put the sausage in the middle with mash veg & gravy my hubby loves it 😋😋

The thing about the asda one is if you are on a budget as many are then it's a no brainer

Hi Gareth. What happened to my shout out? Not to worry. And I promise that from now on I will hold off from sending anymore 👍. Back to the Toad in the hole, they've never been my thing really. But out of the two I'd probably go with the Aunt Bessies with this one as you said its more tasty. A good review as always. Any chance you could review Asdas creamy chicken bakes at some point? They're my favourite and low in calories too if your on a diet. Cheers Gareth.

my eldest daughter loves the chips n curry sauce and i buy a lot of the 85 pence meals realy love them x
