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 want some now !

yabu
ds loves them
so I make them

Yorkshires go with every roast.

We are a Yorkshire family and my dad insists on Yorkshires with gravy first and THEN Yorkshires with the main course.

Used to have the with golden syrup too.

YANBU

I have yorkshires with every roast dinner, but I've never had it with Christmas dinner, my mam never made them anad I've never made them. It just seems odd having them with Christmas dinner.

I have my MIL and SIL coming for dinner (oh the joy) and no doubt she will moan about the lack of yorkshire pudding.

YANBU

Only with red meat and never on feast days. They are also a STARTER.

Yorkshire born and bred

I would rather have Yorkshire and veg than the meat- go well with rabbit.

YABU I don't think a christmas dinner is complete without a yorkshire pudding but am going to IL's for dinner this year so will have to go without .

YANBU. No place for them in a turkey christmas dinner! Seems all kinds of wrong to me.

YABU - Yorkshires go with any meal that has gravy and roast potatoes. Yum!!!!

See I think the thing about being grown ups is that YOU GET TO CHOOSE!! So if you like them, do them! (But agree, everyone knows they're for with beef plus with all the chipolatas, stuffing, bread sauce etc etc there's really no need!)

just bought mine today, they had sold out in Tesco so alot of people must be having them on sat
(I am in Yorkshire though !)
You don't need room in your oven they only take 4 mins to cook so I stick them in whilst I'm cutting the turkey.

YANBU. they are used as a cheap "filler" in carvery type restaurants so they give you less meat.

They only compliment roast beef IMO.

Hear hear!!!! I also choose too much pudding and an unnecessary amount of wine goddammit!

yorkshires are for beef. or, if you're a real traditionalist, they're a course on their own, with onion gravy. they are NOT for poultry. gavel.

I never have YPs with anything other than beef at home.

HOWEVER, if I have sunday lunch at a pub/restaurant, I am quite narked if I don't get a YP regardless of the meat type. This is because I get YP envy - tucking into my Chicken dinner , drooling over the YP of someone who has chosen beef!

Oops that was to tassisssss

gavel harsh Hatwoman. Harsh.

Undercovasanta - I am exactly the same at pub lunches, YP envy is a bitch!

My dad can remember the days (cue Hovis music) when he and his brothers would have YP with dinner and then put jam on the rest for pudding.

YANBU to think it, but everyone has their own family traditions.

My husband, a Yorkshireman, insists on them with every roast and on their own as often as possible. I think they're tasty and have finally got them cracked so am happy to keep him happy (he has moved hundreds of miles down south after all).

Bring on the Christnas stodge binge!

I would be really miffed if a Roast Christmas Dinner didn't come with Yorkies. I'm vege so I don't care what meat you have - just don't forget the Yorkshires and don't cook them in animal fat! - please!!

I don't like Turkey so we have them and ?I have them with them pigs and gravy.

If there is gravy, there should be Yorkshires.

And not those Aunt Bessie things either!

Obviously mine made my a Yorkshire-woman are best too

Yorkshire puddings are meant to fill you up so that you don't devour too much meat.

Christmas is a feast. There is no such thing as too much anything.

I don't make them myself on Christmas Day, but I wouldn't refuse them if someone else had done the cooking.

Now, can we get on to the extreme wrongness that is peas with Christmas lunch.

Yorkies go with anything .but no to peas with christmas dinner

My son doesn't eat veg so with EVERY roast dinner he has meat, yorkshire pudding and sausages in bacon and that's it!( I try to sneak a roast potato on there too but he avoids it!

YANBU. My mother has just informed me that she has bought Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puddings for our Christmas dinner.

I was not impressed but had to pretend to be pleased so that she didn't get offended and refuse to do it at all. But that's a whole different AIBU.
