Oi Oi Meatheads, Animal here – or as I’m known on Bonfire Night, Guy Porks.

As you’ve been so great munching my meat all year, I’ve come up with a Bonfire Night treat for you to try! This fiery recipe is the perfect dish to warm you up when you’re out watching the fireworks. So, give it a go at home to ensure the night goes off with a BANG!

Fire in the Hole

There aren’t many things you can’t do with a sausage – eat ‘em, use ‘em as javelins in a roast dinner-themed Olympics, and of course, use them to rustle up some SMASHING Bonfire Night recipes. Which is exactly what I’ve done.

On this night of fireworks, I’ve harnessed the raw firepower of my Peperami Firestick. I’ve baked them into a traditional Yorkshire pudding to create an alternative Toad in the Hole, which I’ve christened ‘Fire in the Hole’. Be careful though, it’s not for wimps!
