    parsley will give the batter interesting green flecks - don't think will taste of much but you can give it a go - it won't kill you anyhow!

    Gotta go - cook our tea (lentil dhal with rice, red onion relish, salad, yoghurt and potato raita and mango chutney.....)
    will pop back later to see how you got on - good luck!

    Panic not. Toad in the hole is MUCH easier than pancakes !!! :D

    Even I was surprised how easy it was - and I panic over every new dish I try to make - took me 8 months of marriage to pluck up the courage to roast a chicken!! ;)

    Edit: I don't put salt or pepper (or parsley) in the batter. It's fine as it is.

    That pancake looks just fine to me - you were'mt expecting to get all those little holes like shop bought ones have were you?

    Love the idea of Toad in the Hole, though I do mine differently slightly - I part cook the sausages in the oven in the pan I'm gonna do the Toad in, then give 'em a real good shake about to spread the fats that cook out of them & use just that to 'oil' the pan - works fine for me!
    I also thought of just having sausage mash peas & gravy from your list - a family favorite - actually might do that tonight!

    Edited to add
    Yes why not get some ideas & help on here we all love to share - check out MrBadExamples posts for inspiration lol
    ps can someone find a link to them for me pretty please
    I THINK is a whole sentence, not a replacement for I Know
