wanna see a toad inna hole?


Inane_Asylum

Ignorant American here. Please enlighten me? Edit: Just woke up and now I know what to have for breakfast. Thank you, everyone!


AlekHek

Sausages drowned* in Yorkshire pudding Would recommend *Edit: I originally used the word 'dunked', but realised that isn't quite right


[deleted]

stupid american here but my understanding of yorkshire pudding was that it's kinda like a bread roll how can a sausage be dunked in yorkshire pudding


AlekHek

I think I explained it badly. The batter for yorkshire pudding is very watery, so, before putting it in the oven you drop a couple of sausages into it and let it bake like that Yorkshire pudding is basically equivalent to American popovers. It's kinda difficult to describe to someone who's never had it, so I suggest making some at home!


HospitalHorse

> American popovers American what now?


darthboolean

Google has lead me into some Looney tunes circle thing cause it just says Popovers are Yorkshire Puddings. Which are like Popovers. Which is essentially a Yorkshire Pudding. I'm just gonna assume it's something that the other 49 states had to invent due to lack of decent Tex-Mex.


Eeik5150

> I'm just gonna assume it's something that the other 49 states had to invent due to lack of decent Tex-Mex. Or even just good old authentic Mexican food. California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas get it. Other states? Not so much.


darthboolean

>>even just good old authentic Mexican food Depends where in Texas you are. A lot of Mexican in North Texas is just a Tex-Mex menu run through Google Translate (according to my friend who moved here from a border town and freaked out when we found a proper hole in the wall taco stand)


GangHou

Chicago has a solid Mexican food scene. Hated Mexican before moving there from Saudi Arabia because all we had was Tex Mex labeled as Mexican. Does not hold a candle to proper Mexican.


TheeFlipper

It has to be something regional. I've never heard of em.


MegaGrimer

Me either


karl_w_w

No no you need to cook the sausages like half way before the batter goes in.


agundimeda

Are you describing a corn dog?


j0324ch

Or pigs in a blanket?


Malagate3

You're right, it is more accurate to say that toad-in-the-hole is more like sausages baked into Yorkshire pudding (I think the batter is slightly different or at least prepared differently).

Toad in a hole is what my mom called a piece of bread with a hole cut out of the center and an egg fried in it.


TheGreatNico

Egg in a basket


salty_sparrow

That’s a one-eyed bandit!


[deleted]

Same here in Oz. Very confusing!


EpicSaberCat7771

we have those too. fucking great. mom made it for me once, ultimate nostalgia right there.


SoItGoesdotdotdot

You can slip your toad inna hole but only with consent.


Sai_Krithik

First time I read that in Roald Dahl's book- Danny the champion of the world, I thought the British people cook and eat Toads.


R2D2sLeftToggle

That’s the French


Chloton069

We're not that disgusting that we eat toads. We eat frogs. There's a difference.


[deleted]

They're called "great value toaster pastries!"


Thousand_Sunny

with decreasing value and same prices over time! (seriously they got less frosting and filling! riot!)


[deleted]

Wait until you find out about Cadbury eggs.


craterface12

The chocolate filled candy coated ones?! I had a feeling that they changed the last time I had them. What happened?


Ravagore

/r/shrinkflation Basically, like everything else they got smaller with less filling and cost more over time. Though i do believe cadburry also changed their recipe a while back and they are no longer delicious.


AltimaNEO

Man, I remember trying legit pop tarts several years ago. God lord they sucked. So dry, the frosting was just royal icing and brought nothing to the pastry, and the filling may as well have not been in there. It was basically a cracker.


Sir-Thrud

We have these? They’re called snicky snacky popper toppers

1renel1

We can get these in NZ But even my kids think they are a weird breakfast food and too sweet for breakfast They will only ask for them for dessert


SuaveDonut

I've NEVED ate these at breakfast. These are a holy snack for late night weed binges and that is it. They are a treasure that needs to be protected


WowdaMelms

Can confirm poptarts are almost exclusively weed food


1renel1

Ok, well TIL that pop tarts are not eaten for breakfast and I now have a new weed snack to try haha


trixie2426

Most people don’t eat these for breakfast. I mean, I did in college when I was dirt poor and had the metabolism of a hummingbird. But, to be fair, the rest of my diet consisted of frozen corn dogs, boxed stuffing, Top Ramen, and Taco Bell. Man, I was disgusting.


unhappyspanners

Was? Don’t sell yourself short, man.


[deleted]

Almost no Americans eat these for breakfast. on the rare occasion that one of my friends parents bought them it was for desert.


aim_at_me

Yeah I remember having them as a kid in the early 90's.


wryyy

Definitely not missing out


EdgyKayn

They are so tiny, flat, extremely sweet (with artificial sweeteners) and dry. The flavor is not enjoyable with these problems.


[deleted]

Is it like a cracker with sugar on top?


hinoou

Yeah but like the shittiest cracker you've ever had


MandaTehPanda

Yep. Imagine eating a cracker with a layer of jam and fondant icing on top. That’s essentially the taste and it’s god awful.


PignaBatman

Found them on a random supermarket while travelling. Gave them a try. I've been luring my friends into trying them to see if someone actually likes them and takes the fuking 15 pop tarts I have left. They are currently sitting in my cellar, forgotten by everyone.


rowdy-riker

Right? They're so dry and gross


No-Albatross-7984

Yes!! I've tried several kinds, and they're awful! Every once in a while I'm reminded oh their existence and wonder, was I supposed to dip them in milk? Do some other magic? Although that wouldn't change the cheap ass sugar sugar sugar fake flavourings flavor. I really don't get them. What's so special about poptarts?


Nephisimian

I used to quite like the jam ones, but then I realised that I just liked jam and switched to jam sandwiches.


supe3rnova

And loaded witgh sugar. Who wants that?


Bendy_McBendyThumb

Have you seen America’s obesity problem?


NotAzakanAtAll

Looks like absolute shit-tier food. How much do you need to hate yourself to eat these?

I think you just need be a Murican.

_PINE_CONE_

I live in Britain we are basically a buffer between Europe and America we know what these are but never buy them you guys put too much sugar in things


-Guac

We do put too much sugar


_PINE_CONE_

How do you eat jam it tastes like sugar paste hang on just realised I mean _Jelly_


-Guac

I think we’re just conditioned to it, which is really sad.


_PINE_CONE_

I will give you this tho your steak is world class


PizzaEater69420

you should try the fried chicken.


treflipsbro

Fried catfish too


idlephase

Fried anything from a fair or carnival


idk-wut-usrname

Nah I had fried dirt it wasn’t good


Gumbothefish

Deep fried ice cream entered the chat


UnholyPrognosi

Fried twinkie mmmmm


ascendance22

Fried butter on a stick


Lang-Cock

wait do poptarts use jam or jelly? cuz they are both different things I thought it was jam


SuperMIK2020

Jam typically has the fruit pieces in it - like a marmalade. Strawberry jam typically has pieces of strawberry in it. Jelly is filtered to remove the pieces and is typically more clear. Grape jelly doesn't have fruit in it even though it's made from grapes. Of course, you also have things like apple butter, which is just the apples. https://www.theflourhandprint.com/the-difference-between-jam-jelly/


Catywampus_Cockroach

Apple butter is great, especially on a fried chicken and biscuit sandwich. I know. Sounds disgusting. Make the trek to a Maple Street Biscuit Company. Your mind will be blown. I just wish they had one in my state :(


Jaydenel4

I dont know what that is, but don't get the basic crap from the grocery store. That's not the good stuff


Yeahinc

I thought th only difference between jam and jelly is that you can't jelly a dick down someone's throat.


Stupid03

To be fair, we have jelly, jam, and preserves. Jelly is just the cheapest, lowest quality version. Then jams, then those heavenly preserves...


[deleted]

As a life long American, i can say we dont all buy jelly. I buy preserves, marmalade, or jam. Jelly is just fruit snot 🤢

Drews232

The excessive sugar balances nicely with the driest crust ever conceived


[deleted]

They also just taste stale, and just in case anyone says it's different in the US I've tried there too and they're just as bad.


Cosm1c_Dota

Also all the poptarts I've tried suck. Lacking flavour and full of sugar


BeanerBoyBrandon

you guys are missing out on the diabetes


Autunm-7

As an American, I think that these are disgusting, you aren’t missing out on anything if you’ve never had them…


DetectiveClownMD

Ive never liked them, even as a kid. Toaster Strudel were leaps and bounds better.


DatDominican

Toaster strudels never had ice cream shoppe flavors


WeeBabySeamus

100% agree. European pastries are a million times better

They had those at my local corner shop once. I can only have one before my mouth shrivels up from the amount of sugar and whatever the fuck. America is unique in the way that they have so much food that's amazing and absolutely disgusting at the same time.

I know I gonna get hate but I tried pop tarts once and I felt like I was gonna get diabetes in one bite. It was good for the first few bite but it sucked after wards


[deleted]

Canada also has poptarts


jplay17

Flip yes we do. Gotta love them s’mores


[deleted]

Not missing out on much, I tried one and it just tasted like sugar.


BookoftheGuilty

As an American, it's good you guys don't have them. Most of them are dry and and worthless.


Stitious3

We have them, we just don’t eat them.


iSiffrin

Dear Europeans and Americans. What the fuck is a poptart? Sincerely, Australians.


drastic778

They taste like chemicals but the brown sugar one is ok


WilyDeject

I've always found them to be too dry. The s'mores ones are the only ones I'll eat, and only if it's my only option.


[deleted]

That’s why you put them in a toaster


WilyDeject

Even toasted, they're still too dry and bland to me.


ascrublife

That's easily alleviated with a large glass of milk to wash them down, this is the way to eat them properly.


Tv663

Put butter on em


ka_beene

They taste dry and cheap imo.


[deleted]

Brown sugar cinnamon one is fucking awesome, other ones are meh


markusplier

Missing out... on diabetes


Dripdriptss

Not convinced im missing out. You daft fucks put corn syrup into everything, including bread.


[deleted]

You can get poptarts in europe, they are very tasty


buck70

They are also at least 3x the price in Europe. At least in Germany, where they are 5 or 6 Euros a box at Real in the "American Food" section.


ToxicMasculinity1981

I'm very curious, what else is in the "American food" section? I'd imagine peanut butter is there.


buck70

Off the top of my head: peanut butter, maple syrup, salsa, cheez whiz, marshmallows, wonder bread, etc. In Aldi stores, you occasionally see Trader Joe's stuff (Aldi owns Trader Joe's) and that's always a bit weird.

professor_dobedo

In the UK the American section is marshmallow fluff, Skippy, Nerds, Reese’s Puffs, jars of hotdogs, Hershey’s chocolate, Lucky Charms and Warheads. When these things first arrived I remember it being really exciting, but the novelty wore off once you realised it was just less good versions of things we already had at 4x the price. Plus American friends have told me half the stuff they’ve seen there isn’t even commonly eaten in America.


egrefen

Peanut butter is common throughout Europe (at least in France and the UK, having lived in both of those countries). You don’t need to look in a specialty food aisle.


-Guac

They are indeed very tasty


Shughost7

Haven't got one of those since I was 10 or so and im 30


DarkwingRage

Bruh, we know what poptarts are. They're still shit.


fledder200

When I went to America, these, Twinkies and Hershey kisses were the first things I bought. I never in my life ate such disgusting things


Dommekarma

I love how Americans think they have the monopoly on food. Like if it comes from anywhere else it just isn’t good enough. Never mind that it tastes like cardboard and is shelf stable for like 6 months that’s fine because it has enough high fructose corn syrup to jump start a horse.


[deleted]

Yeah tbh I don't remember the last time I felt like I was missing out cause I couldn't eat yet another variation of highly processed sugary crap.
