Rate my Yorkshire Pudding... I mean 'Toad in the Hole' <DOH>

[slowmotion]

If you are "proper Yorkshire", don't you have the YP and gravy by themselves before the rest of the main course?

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

 

[slowmotion]

I dont eat it because it too fatty.
However, when I was young thats what people did before the main Sunday dinner.

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

Correct, and it was how Sunday lunchtimes went chez p'tit marmoset. An edible gravy swimming pool!

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.

Have it with Golden syrup as a proper pudding... lash it on... delicious!

I do hope you folk take the sausages out before eating it with syrup, or jam and custard!

Yeah, true. I once ate a YP that was so stodgy the doctor predicted my next "movement" to be in July 2018. There won't be a second time for me on one of those though. I miss my reading time too much.

Can you sit still that long.If you want to read ,Senacot can be very moving.

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 ), 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.

Yesterday's lunch was a goat cheese salad...

Today's is a Desperate Dan Pie (or two)

How long did you roast the goat for?
