Edit: (Slice of bread with a hole cut in the middle and an egg fried in it.) I have always called them daddy-o eggs but I have recently been informed that is incorrect.-

Toad-in-the-hole! Maybe. We only ever had them like once, scrambled eggs were far more common.

I have to know where you are from. I have never heard of this as Toad in the hole, and this like the 6th comment in thread I've seen of it.

I only know Toad in the hole as Sausage in bread.

I know you don't want to DOX but just region. NE US, AUS, NZ? I gotta know.

Not GP, but I've always called this Toad in the hole. Western USA.

[-] radix@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

"Toad-in-the-hole" sounds British to me.

Edit: @fluke@lemmy.world said "toad-in-the-hole" refers to something else, some other breakfast food.

British Toad in the hole is Sausage in Bread.

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Sausage in Yorkshire pudding! Unless that's called bread in the US in which case we are several layers deep into this word inception.

[-] MrsDoyle@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

It's bloody delicious too.

(Just say batter, the word "pudding" will make their heads explode.)

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

It's batter pre-cook, pudding post-cook, and yes you're damn right it's bloody delicious.

[-] fluke@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Then what is a pancake? Same batter, but different cooking method.

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Exactly! Fried instead of baked.

[-] pyrflie@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Close enough, but yes.

British pudding in the situation called out is close enough for me. If they are willing to pervert toast, I'm willing to pervert bread.

Even pudding is getting fucked in the ass with this metaphor.

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

AFAIA, The pudding part is because pudding referred to meat dishes long before it was used for sweet dishes, and yorkshire pudding used to be exclusively served with meat - which is likely tightly linked to the original meaning of toad in the hole!

Ontario Canada. Toad in the hole/egg in the hole. Piggy in a blanket is a sausage wrapped in a pancake.

[-] flubba86@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I'm in Australia, we call this one with an egg "toad in a hole", I've never seen the one with a sausage.

[-] palitu@aussie.zone 2 points 6 months ago

Toad in the hole. Australia

[-] modcolocko@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago

South Georgian here, we also call it this.
