True that, and it's often the one thing you can't really account for.
Currently just using Tesco's own, as I'm being cheap this month (hideously overspent on toys and fun!). Next month? It'll be up the Butcher's to get more intestine casings and cuts of pork for to make my own sossies. Then I'll be having fully home made Toad in the Hole.
And to those (probably very, very few) who have never had Toad in the Hole, or have only had the frozen version, you don't know what you're missing! Simple to prepare too!
Frozen version - ok in a pinch, but do try your hand at making your own!
And don't follow Nigel Slater's recipe. It's mank. Plus, he has a TV show called 'Simple Suppers' which should be referred to the Advertising Standards Agency, on account Mr Slater appears to be the only person in the world to habitually keep Unicorn Tears, Badger Spaff and Cyclops Scrotes in his larder.....
