There was a recipe in our local paper for "Toad in the Hole." The
article claims Prince Charles loves it. I bet. I was wondering if
there are other receipes that use animal names in their description.
The ones I can think of: pigs in a blanket, bird in the nest, and
maybe animal crackers.

Schweinsbraten, Cocq au vin, etc.

Cheers,

True enough but I think the OP (and me!) were looking for names
that were figurative not truly descriptive....who eats toads?

I would not eat a toad, no matter how you prepared it.

Well, there are some snakes who eat toads ...
Otherwise, "Falscher Hase" comes to mind (a roast made of minced meat).

Have you heard of Adam and Eve on a Raft: two poached eggs on
toast? Somewhat dated lunch counter slang.

Well, "Hot Dog" meets that criterion. At least, we hope it does.

Also, "Welsh Rabbit" (aka "Welsh Rarebit"😉.

Then there's "Rocky Mountain Oysters", which are not oysters, but part
of a very different animal.

Mockfish - a kind of rosti made from grated potato and egg fried as
patties.

Hmmm, I haven't made mockfish in aaaages...

*schemes*

Also hedgehog, which can be either a sweet slice made with crushed biscuits
(as in cookies, not scones - this is Australia), cocoa and I dunno what
else, or apparently a kind of rissole with rice in it.

Ants climbing trees - noodles with mince (aka ground meat).

Granted, some of these are just misworded or deceptive.

Ants Climbing Tree
Ants on a log
Lions Head
Monkey Bread
Elephant Ear

Toad in the hole doesn't have toads in it.

My mother refers to baked beans on toast as "skinheads on a raft".

I'm fairly certain that just as toad in a hole has no toads in it,
that the fish eye pudding has no fish eyes. Still, the name could be
rather offputing.

Yup. And if you wanted the eggs scrambled instead, you would add
"wreck 'em" to the two on a raft order.
