Toad-in-the-hole(洞中)
Toad-in-the-hole is a traditional British dish. It consists of(包括) sausages(香肠,腊肠) in a Yorkshire pudding mix,(约克郡布甸) usually served with vegetables. The origin(起源) of the dish’s name isn’t quite clear, but a common explanation is that it gets its name because it resembles(像;相似,类似) a toad(蟾蜍) sticking its head out of a hole.(把头伸出洞外)。

Sample
Last summer,I stayed with a British host family. One day, I was really surprised when Jeremy, the son of the family, told me that we would have a toad-in-the-hole for dinner. I wasn't sure whether we were going to eat a real toad in a hole. If so, how terrible! I joined them at dinner time with butterflies in my stomach. To my astonishment, a dish of sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding (a mix that tastes a bit like pancakes) was served on the table, and it tasted delicious. It turned out that toad-in-the-hole is a typical dish for a British dinner, and there's no toad! What a amazing experience! It was interesting to try such yummy(美味的)food with a strange name.
