Here is what toad in the hole is supposed to look like.
Sausages inside a Yorkshire pudding
Here is the NYT version
Eggs inside a piece of toast
It's not exactly a complicated dish.
Thread full of confused and outraged

That's nothing like toad in the hole. Its closest relative would be a Welsh rarebit (aka cheese on toast) and it's not even very close to that.
I have literally no idea why they named this toad in the hole.

in america putting an egg inside a piece of toast is sometimes called a toad in the hole, like this

That makes more sense but the opening paragraph mentions it's part of their English menu and a tribute to a British chef he used to work for which makes it even odder for them to make a completely American dish

On the left is a 'Wigan Kebab' which is a meat pie in a bread roll. On the right is a 'smack barm pay wet' which is a potato fritter with reduced pea water on top also in a bread roll. Wigan is an odd place

proper toad in the hole and a good shepherds pie is probably the only good dish brits have going. i cant think of any more atm.
there are things like apple pie or black pudding that are decent, but arent main courses in and of themselves.
a roast? whats a roast. everyone has a roast.

Cornish pasties
Steak and Kidney / Steak and Ale pie
Chicken Tikka Masala originated in Glasgow apparently
Scotch eggs
The British bries are more appealing than the French ones if you prefer a brie that doesn't smell like feet (both have their place IMHO)
Also roast parsnips are the king of vegetables
Agree with you about cottage pie / shepherds pie - they're excellent if done well.

Normally I fricking hate the NY Times, but I hate Bongs even more so I guess NYT gets to be based for once by reminding Bongs that they're completely irrelevant and whatever way America does things is the objectively correct way.
