Boeuf Bourgignon with Yorkshire puddings. Yes or no?

[TheTecknician]

I say yes because BB is simply a beef casserole, albeit from a French recipe, and beef goes with YPs. Plus the nice ones from the supermarkets are ready easy to cook.

It might be tempting fate to put Lancashire hotpot in one.

of course, ditch the haters.

yes a great match
can i come round for dinner please

Don't think that works, different batter plus the fruit... you're on the right track though, I grew up with essentially the sweet version of YP which is a South German regional specialty called pfitzauf. Same batter (plus a bit of sugar), same texture, even near-identical tins. We'd have them as a stand-alone kids' treat dinner. No gravy, just tear them open, add some extra sugar/Cinnamon mix and accompany with apple compote. Yum.

Hell yes!

Chicken tikka masala is delicious with Yorkshire pud.

Yes that’s fine (and I’m French!).

However, will you also be serving mashed pots? If so, boil and mash them together with celeriac… use cream instead of milk 👹it’s so rich and delicious!

This.

Yes. It's fusion cuisine.

I think dumplings would be nicer than YPs, and also easy to make.
Also not French though.

Yorkshires with everything 😀

Yes but make your own. They are easy peasy to make and a fraction of the cost.

Yes

Yes. We have it with roasties and yorkshire puds.

I don’t care what the French branch of the family thinks about it either 😉

Absolutely yes. I believe there is a law that says you can eat Yorkshire puddings with anything at all. I might have made that law up myself but I believe that all should abide by it.

No mashed potato in my home. Not now, not ever. It's banned. I can't abide the stuff. I hope that's clear.

I have been known to serve BB on top of well-toasted garlic baguette slices. Like a posh toast topper. This might appease our French cuisine aficionados.

Absolutely not. Yorkshire Puddings are a waste of plate space, calories and time. Awful, boring things that add nothing to anything.

Bleurgh. Only fit for the 🗑️

What on earth is the matter with you?! 🤣

What is the POINT of them?!

Cold Yorkshire pudding with raspberry jam!

ABSOLUTELY NO

I wouldn't turn it down, but yorkshire puds aren't the best at soaking up sauces. Mashed potatoes, ideally made with a hefty dose of roast garlic and lots of butter, works much better. If you don't like mash then you have my deepest sympathies.

No good asking me, I eat Yorkshire’s with jam or golden syrup for dessert

Butter acts as a barrier for soaking up gravy, use oil if you want mash to soak up gravy

To fill with gravy and drink it from them like a crispy batter cup - when on my own anyway.

Dipped in gravy when I am in company. I’m not a heathen 😉

Ooft, yes please!
