The Battle for Toad Hall

I've been blogging and tweeting about food for a couple of months now and entered a couple of events that I've seen mentioned on Twitter.  I've met some great tweeps and bloggers, had great fun and learnt a lot on the way!
Following a converstaion with @Browners on twitter thought it was about time for me to host an event...


The Battle For Toad Hall


This event is all about creating the ultimate version of that great British dish: Toad In The Hole with gravy.





So if you want to be crowned Toad Of Toad Hall or have never had a go at this winter warming dish please do have a go and blog about it and I'll do a comprehensive round up of all entries. 

Closing Date for entries is Sunday 31st January 2010

Here are the rules of the game:
  1. Once you have posted your Battle for Toad Hall enty on your blog, please make sure you leave a comment below with a link to your post.
  2. Please link back to this challenge on your post.
That's it - feel free to make or buy your sausages and give us the tips and tricks for perfect batter and don't forget the best ever gravy to complement your dish!

    Jamie - it's sausages in a Yorkshire pudding batter baked in the oven - good luck!

    Oh darn I only just found out about this via 57 Varieties. I am too late to enter and won't have time in next 24 hrs anyway even if I persuaded you to extend deadline but I will watch and see everyone's efforts. Great stuff!
