This video inspired me to make TITH using sausies from the UK Gourmet, a store in Bethel, Connecticut that sells all things British. I have made it nearly every weekend in 2021, using an onion gravy recipe i found online somewhere (mustard + HP). I even picked up some British mess tins from 1987 and 1988. What a "great bit of kit." Cheers mate.

Hi Christopher it is better with onion gravy can't believe I forgot to bring some when I made this! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment really appreciate it 👍 Take care Roo

Wow! I've made toad in the hole with the luxuries of a kitchen and a conventional oven and it didn't look anywhere near as good as that! I loved this video!

Happened upon video by chance. Looks good& easy to do. Also noticed Yugo cutlery set as I have that mess kit also. Cheers from a city slicker in USA.

Great video, actually watched this one with the mrs. We were both impressed with the stove, that she bought me one for my recent birthday! Never ever thought of using mess tins like that, opens up so many possibilities

[@BurtonOutdoors]

That looked spot on Kanga, made me hungry now and it's only 06.55. Nice one. Lee

[@PreparedCamping]

Yeah it turned out well Lee exactly how I wanted it, apart from the lack of gravy that was a mistake not bringing so much as an oxo cube but lesson learnt for next time! Take care mate Roo

[@gud2go50]

Never heard of it, but it looked quite tasty! I just ordered some knock off British army mess tins. I hope they are as good. I will give your recipe a go myself! Although, I am unsure if we have the same sausages here in the States. When I lived in New Zealand, I would eat the British style sausages over there and found them quite bland, but I developed a taste for them after a while. Thanks for sharing!😊

[@iamlono1001]

For the Colonist version of this, look up pigs in a blanket. Not as fluffy or salty, but darn good with beer and a bathroom close by.

Toad in the hole, we used to have that regularly as a kid. Back in the day I had two sets of mess tins, one for cooking with and the other just for inspections :-)

Sneaky, did you ever get mixed up and have the wrong set when they checked your kit? 😉 Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment really appreciate it Take care mate Roo

No that would have meant guard duties for a week or worse, the main challenge was keeping the used set hidden, which were not that manky, just not inspection standard.

[@thomasmusso1147]

Good Posting .. thanks. My Army Mess Tins (we called them 'Dixies' in the SADF) still do regular service .. at least once a week. Stoves and heat sources include a folding Esbit Stove (my original issue from 1968), Trangia Burner, Gel Fuel, a myriad of 'Home Grown' Meths Stoves, Optimus 8R Hunter Benzine Cooker, Bushbox LF Wood Stove with varying fuels .. wood, charcoal and more. A great set of kit .. much ignored and underrated by the 'Outdoor Community'. Being Aluminium, I have kept them out of a base wood fire .. so that after 40+ years, they're still in pretty good nick. Not my Original '68 Issue. In '78-ish, I exchanged those for a New Set as the Original, being Nickel Plated (I think?) where looking rather tatty. Must try the Toad in the Hole Recipe .. thanks. Take care ..

Rapeseed oil as I like the buttery taste it gives, just remember to pack some onions and gravy unlike me! Hope you have a great weekend, all the best Roo

[@clinnyboy]

As a yank married to a lovely English girl I have had toad in the hole and it is indeed delicious. Full English and bacon butties (sp?) fried eggs with chips and bean are right up there too. Heard people here complain that English cooking is bland but they're the same ones likely voting for Biden if you get my drift so take no notice. Good hearty working mans food. I'm going to try this in my Czech mess kit.

question on the batter, is it a pancake batter or more of a popover batter as i see it puff up.

@@PreparedCamping yorkshire pudding you are putting the batter in a cake pan. popovers you use a popover pan or muffin pan.
