Actually, it's "toad in a hole" and yes, it is a culinary dish. It's made in the USA by cutting a hole in the center of a slice of toast and putting a raw egg in the hole and frying it in a skillet until the egg has set. In England, Australia and New Zealand, it's a whole 'nother dish, consisting of cooked sausages (toad) in a pastry coating (the hole). Some get really elaborate, making a highly seasoned batter for the pastry and serving it with a delicious gravy and mushy peas (ugh! mushy peas are definitely an acquired taste, and us Yanks ain't quite there yet!) or other cooked green veggies.
Why not give it a try? It's one of those dishes you can vary in an endless number of ways, and usually turns out pretty good (except for the mushy peas).

It is toad in the hole - not toad in the wall. It is a dish consisting of sausages in a batter like a yorkshire pudding mix.

Don't know about toad in the wall, but toad in the hole is a dish, yep. Sausages cooked in a batter like Yorkshire Pudding. Like this... http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/toad-in-the-hole-with-roasted-onion-gravy,1030,RC.html - it's a traditonal British dish, and very nice it is, too.

Do you mean toad in the hole? That is basically yorkshire pudding mix and sausages. Get a large dish and put in the sausages then add the mix and cook (sure you would be able to find recipes online for it)

200 mls milk
salt and pepper
oil
baking tin
set the oven to 220oc put the sausage in the tin, with a touch of oil, put in the oven and cook till brown {some people only 1/2 cook their sausage but i think it makes the sausage all pale and not very tasty}.
in a bowl sieve the 100grams of flour, make a whole in the flour and crack the egg into the whole, add a pinch of salt and pepper, for a herby batter add some sage. gradually add the milk mixing the batter with either a hand whisk or electric, till you have a light thin batter. take the cooked sausage out the oven and add the batter till the tins a 1 third of the tin full, but in the oven for around 30 mins till risen and goldern brown, served with mash potatoes, seasonal veg and gravy.

I have never heard of toad in the wall but i have heard of toad in the hole.
I am australian and for me toad in the hold is an egg in fried bread (you cut a hold in the middle of the bread and break the egg inside)
however, i have british friends and for them toad in the hole is made of sausage and yorkshire pudding
