Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Hook citation is accepted in good faith as it's referenced to an offline book. However, the hook fact (that one of this game's alternate names, toad in the hole, is the same as an English dish) is not well supported by the text. The relevant passage is "Other names for the game include toad-in-the-hole (not to be confused with Toad in the hole)", linking to Toad in the hole (game) rather than Toad in the hole (the dish). The hook fact needs to be cited to a reference that draws the connection between the dish and the game, and the text of the article, including the target of the toad in the hole link should be clarified accordingly. - Interesting:
- Other problems: - Not a problem per se, but I'm wondering if "Slosh" is actually a common noun a la snooker and should be made lowecase in the hook?
QPQ: 
- Still needs to be done.

Thanks Lee Vilenski. I'm happy to accept this hook in good faith now with the caveat that the article itself doesn't mention "batter and sausage" but it does properly link to the dish's article, which does. Thanks! —Collint c 17:15, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
