Talk:Egg in the basket

message: Okay, so at least now people are adding names with references, which is obviously an improvement. But just having references is not really sufficient. There must be 100+ names around the world for this dish, and a list of 100 names would look horrible even if they all had solid references. It would be like one of those awful "X in popular culture" sections in other articles where things along the lines of "An X appeared for three seconds in series 385 of The Simpsons" take up 200 lines. If we absolutely must have a great long list, then surely we could at least separate it out into a List of alternative names for egg in the basket article.

replies: text: Let's remove alternate names unless there is a source that the usage is widespread or unless there is more than one independent source for the name. Otherwise there will be a host of entries for names used by one writer's grandmother. Jonathunder (talk) 18:56, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Keep the names, at least those with references.  The first time you make it for a group, half of the discussion is everyone telling you hnat they called it as a kid.  Plus, every this gets mentioned on the Internet, people start listing lots of names, and eventually someone links here.  (BTW, the first time I ate them, I was told they were called "gashouse eggs".  Years later, I found out (possibly from an earlier version of this article) that the name was from a famous book.) Vrmlguy (talk) 12:27, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: the progression of this article over time is actually hilarious, it seems nothing can be done to stem the endless tide of names people seem to want to add (the reason i abandoned list of dubstep artists). gashouse eggs must resonate deeply as a childhood thing for a lot of people --Kaini (talk) 22:17, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

text: in my experience, toad in the hole tends to refer to a mixture of sausage, mashed potatoes, egg, onion, cabbage... whatever's to hand, with the defining characteristic being 'leftovers fried in a pan' (see also boxty, clapshot, colcannon, bubble and squeak, rumbledethumps, stamppot) - toad in the hole is certainly not as specific as just this particular dish. --Kaini (talk) 05:44, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

text: I came here to see what the alternate names for this dish are. The well-referenced ones really should be put back, since now there is no info. 207.180.167.75 (talk) 15:42, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: As I say above, there were no well-referenced names. --McGeddon (talk) 15:59, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Names (again!) 

message: I see that the Boy Scouts of America called an egg in a hole in toast a "toad in a hole" back in 1956 in Boy's Life.  Are there any early references to this "treat" in any other early publication?
(and yes, this would be doing research - so it can't be linked to, if one finds an earlier cite.)
