To think Yorkshire Pudding with a (turkey) Christmas dinner is just plain wrong?

[create]

Yorkshires are for beef! Why does every menu include them?

I don´t do them, but might this year as am struggling with veg-only got brussels, carrots & swede so far, so might need to fill the meal out!

The turkey is out and resting by the time the YPs go in the oven...

nanny - you need plain flour and really really hot fat, so not that easy alongside turkey.

YABVVVVU.

IMO people who think they only go with beef are weird. I have also been known have mint sauce on my veg with meats other than lamb.

Baked beans on the other don't have any place on this earth never mind on a cooked breakfast .

Kirk1 - Is it your Aunt Bessie?

Isn´t mint sauce for peas?

Was it Gino D'Campo on This Morning who did three courses with Yorkshires, starters, mains and pud!

Of course they go with dessert - it is really only pancake batter! Yum yum!

We always have them, Yorkshire family so they are served as a starter, with gravy.

I thought the sole purpose for mint sauce was to make green veg more palatable

Repeat after me - EVERY ROAST DINNER NEEDS A YORKSHIRE WITH IT

No, Yorkshires only go with beef.

YANBU beef or sausages nowt else

This is possibly the most unreasonable anyone has ever been . Yorkies go with everything. I've told my mother I want yorkies, pigs in blankets, stuffing, roasties and gravy. Don't care about anything else!

Thing is, right, I'm vegetarian, so I never have yorkshirese with beef or turkey or chicken or pork or anything for that matter.

Therefore, i can categorically say that they go with roast dinner, no matter what the meat, because they go with roast dinner without the meat.

I know Create! I've tried every type of fat, every method of making batter, oven cranked up til the fat is smoking... they come out like pancakes

From Yorkshire myself and practically raised on Yorkshire Pud. Yes they go with anything before, during and after a roast lunch.

Plain with gravy before (to fill you up and stop you eating too much meat), then with the actual meal then again after with jam or Golden Syrup.

Its the Food of the Gods from Gods own country.

Yorkshires are nice with anything.

YABvvvU !

But we have beef and sausages with our turkey and ham on Xmas day so it would be rude not to have yorkshire's

wouldn't normally have them with Christmas lunch, but are DS1's favourite food and all (apart from chicken) that he will eat from a roast. Turkey is 'special Christmas chicken' btw ;)

Y A B Soooooo U

Yorkshire pud and (by contrast) lobster are my two favourite foods in the whole world. Guess which one I can afford to eat regularly

We shall be serving some YP's alongside our feast of duck with cooked with clementines, cloves and cinnamon. Can't wait!

Nanny- try this recipe, it has never failed, even my mum, who is possibly the worst cook in the history of world can make it work :)

put 2 heaped tablespoons of plain flour in a jug with a pinch of salt, crack in 2 large eggs, mix with a stick whisk till smooth, then add milk up to the half pint mark on the jug and whisk again. Add 3 drops of vinegar.

Put a 1.5cm cube of beef dripping into each hole of a 12 hole cake then put in the oven at the highest temperature. Heat till it begins to smoke then pour batter into each mould. Cook till they are risen and yummy.

I think I'll go and make some now...

I am from Yorkshire and live there. Why wouldn't we? YABtotallyU (but Happy Xmas anyway

As a vegetarian... Even I think YABU.

Yorkshires are good with EVERYTHING

YANBU. I hate mixing of things. I hate apple sauce with anything put pork and horseradish with any except beef...and don't get me started on the bread sauce I refuse to make and my MIL brings in a packet(!) for my dh in an attempt to show me up as a wife.

Same goes for Yorkshire puds...unless you are from Yorkshire and eat them with everything...eat them with beef and be creative with other things to fill up your plate.

YANBU !
