To say Yorkshire puddings are pointless

There is no flavour to them, and take up space on the plate that could mean an extra roast potato

Sorry to bump this thread but after trying loads of different recipes I now think Yorkshire puddings are the food of gods.

Yaay! A convert! Trouble is I want Yorkshires now, and I've got no eggs god damn it!!!

LittleprincessinGOLDrocks · 16/06/2013 14:34

Yay! Glad to hear that OP!

ImTooHecsyForYourParty · 16/06/2013 15:28

Grin of course. You HAD to have been doing it wrong.

I would happily give up both the meat AND the veg and just have a plateful of my delicious yorkies.

Sacrilege! Yorkshire Puds are fantastic - home made that is. I wouldn't call the ones you can buy ready made YPs, more like bits of rubber.

I will sometimes do a toad, either with sausages or a lamb chop in one half of the dish and put fruit in the other half for pudding. Plums, nectarines, cherries, etc. All the juices run into the pudding. Yum Yum Yum.

plinkyplonks · 16/06/2013 15:39

They are delicious :D I regret nothing.

plinkyplonks · 16/06/2013 15:40

McNewPants2013 Happy to hear!

ImTooHecsyForYourParty · 16/06/2013 15:45

YY to home made.

Have you tasted those aunt bessie monstrosities?

bleugh.

as tasty as a gobful of cardboard.

I love leftover yorkshires cold with jam. Gorgeous.

Loulybelle · 16/06/2013 15:48

Yay, i love yorkshire pudding, especially massive ones with everything crammed in and loads of gravy.

KikeriFreedomCastle · 16/06/2013 15:52

I don't like them, they're just stodge in my opinion, but I'm probably in minority thinking this. The children love them, however. I always give them mine if we have them.

thistlelicker · 16/06/2013 15:56

Yes you are! End of!Grin

Make massive ones and use them as plates. Problem solved

Longdistance · 16/06/2013 16:17

Yabu.

Put a roast potato in the middle of the Yorkshire pudding, and add lashings of gravy.

Yabu. I add chopped onion to mine (thanks Mil) So tasty, could easily have them as a meal by themselves with a bit of gravy yummy

BellaVita · 16/06/2013 16:38

ImTooHecsyForYourParty · 16/06/2013 16:40

McNewPants2013 · 16/06/2013 16:44

The only problem I have now is the DC, they are waiting in the kitchen as soon as I put them in the oven the oldest is the worst since he has learned to count.

I once went to a pub where they served Yorkshire puddings flattened and used as a wrap for roast beef, came with a little pot of onion gravy for dipping.

DIVINE

Apparently they used to do it to use up the leftovers from Sunday?????. (whats that then?)

And then realised they were on a winner with people coming in just from the Yorkie Wrap.

DrCoconut · 16/06/2013 17:15

Yorkshire puddings are amazing. DS1 likes a whole big one to himself these days. My grandma used to make them every Sunday.

BellaVita · 16/06/2013 18:47

Hec, am good thanks. 100's of one or two issues with DS2 atm which is making me a little greyer, but nothing that Army Cadets won't sort out Grin. He was adamant that he wasn't joining, but he saw sense in the end. Am hoping that the colour sergeant will kick him into touch make him see sense Grin.

How are you my lovely?
