AIBU to think Yorkshire pudding is a perfectly acceptable part of Christmas dinner

[17leftfeet]

My mother is laughing at me

Last time I invite her for Christmas!

not really, she's lovely, just a traditionalist

Yanbu at all! If I could fit it in I'd make them too!

It is in our household!

Your mum is BU. fact.

If you are having beef, then yes.

But then again I can't stand them and we will probably be having duck.

If you are cooking you get to choose.

We have yorkshires at Christmas. They are my ds favourite food so why the hell shouldn't we!!
I couldn't give a crap if other people say no way.

Yanbu! We certainly never had them as kids but I always make them! We have veggie Xmas dinner so I like as much variety as possible!

It's fine Mum always put them on but then we had odd balls attending pita brothers every year who didn't eat turkey so she cooked beef too.

yanbu a roast isnt a roast without them!!

I wouldn't know a dinner without one or three.

NO! Yorkshire puddings are an accompaniment to beef and not turkey! Saying that my nephew demanded yorkshires but also demanded no brussel sprouts the other year...so I put a sprout in a yorkshire for him

Of course it is

It's an acceptable part of every roast dinner.

Should read my mum

Acceptable? I thought it was required!
And ignore anyone who thinks they only go with beef.

Noooooooo YANBU!!! We always have Yorkshire puds with Christmas dinner!

When I was little we used to have them as a starter with gravy. It was the best bit and certainly beats a prawn cocktail

They are a requirement in this family!

Yabu. It is not an acceptable part, it is an essential part.
If there's roast on the plate there should be Yorkshire pud with it, that's the rules.
Disclaimer, I am in Yorkshire

Any excuse for a Yorkshire pudding works for me

They are supposed to be just for roast beef, but we had them with any roast since I was about 10 and I've continued our family tradition. We also have red wine, because thatbis what we prefer.

Oh yorkshire pudding, bread sauce, gravy... I wolff be happy with a trough full of that at any time if the year!

YANBU

You full them with your mash, meat and parsnip and pick them up to eat. Like a mini meal within a meal. You have to be fast as your mum will shout 'grow up and stop playing with your food'

Your mum is definitely BU!

I love Yorkshire puds. Who cares what they're supposed to go with? Eat what you like at Christmas!

Always have them here.

YABVU.

Yorkshire pudding has no place on the traditional Christmas dinner table. You don't (or shouldn't need to) serve stuffing and Yorkshire pudding together and turkey or goose goes with stuffing.

I would laugh at you too.

I will also judge you if you serve the wrong veg with Christmas dinner. You may have any veg you like (within reason, but you may pick from peas, mange tout, sugar snaps, green beans, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli) but only as an addition to sprouts, carrots and parsnips, never instead of.

You are welcome.

I'm irish and Yorkshire Pudding leaves me !
However if you served me christmas dinner with all the trimmings and Yorkshire Pudding I would hoover it up with relish. I have hosted my MIL every christmas since I got married and while my dream christmas dinner would be steak and chips or lasagne (something easy or that could be prepared in advance and not have me slaving all day while MIl gets to play with the kids and all the pressies) I have to follow her traditional christmas day to keep the peace. Despite not being born to the YP I think YANBU to rebel and add your own personal touch to your christmas dinner
