Except they're French of course.

They got the name yorkshire pudding because people of yorkshire being so tight they would fill up on oven baked pancake batter thus having to serve less proper food.
Pity it ain't true though

My mother came from Halifax so I was educated in the strange customs of Yorkshire even though I've always been a Southern Softie.

My Grandad used to have his with jam as well.

I dont think people eat it as much now, all the people I know have salads and pasta etc, not big dinners on a Sunday anymore.

You're mixing in the wrong company

Most Sundays we will have a roast of some descriptions, roast potatoes, stuffing, Yorkshires (with any meat...I know :ohmy:), 3 veg, gravy

If a salad was served on Sunday afternoon around here there would be a mutiny on the washing up front

Exactly the same here - my best yorkies were served with chicken yesterday - feel free to stone me, but as far as I am concerned, if you a roasting something then a yorkshire goes with it.
