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

I have a Pampered Chef stoneware muffin tray. Yorkshires have never been so simple and pain free to make! Equal parts milk, egg and flour, pour onto the cold, fat free tray and bake at a high temperature. Ginormous low calorie Yorkshire puddings every time!

YANBU, we always have Yorkshire pudding.

Growing up my parents were vegetarian hippies so we always had non traditional dinner on Christmas (Chinese one year, won tons, spring rolls and everything made from scratch). Now I'm doing it, even though I'm still vegetarian, I love doing a traditional roast.

We don't have turkey though, we don't have massive amounts of guests and DH doesn't like it. We had a leg of lamb roasted, then braised, last year. I actually love roasting meat...it's such a challenge as a veggie and I've had more than one person say my roast chicken is the best they've had

I do love to cook!

YABU Yorkshire pudding is not a Christmas food! There's too much other stuff going on to appreciate its deliciousness.

Not at all. Have whatever you want. I haven't cooked a traditional turkey dinner ever.

YANBU. you're right it is.

I have to cook Yorkshire pudding on Christmas Day because for D2 a roast is not a roast without them. After 20+ years the whole family have come round to her way of thinking. The meat is irrelevant.

In fact every year I find a new thing that just has to fit on the plate. A few years ago it was cauliflower cheese. This year it will be mashed sweet potato (yum). We have really, really BIG plates.

YANBU.

Also turkey is the most boring meat ever and needs all the help it can get.

Yorkshire's here too - as a starter or part of the main.

Not for pud though, that's reserved for Christmas Cake & Cheese (eaten together).

Homemade yorkshires, they are so wonderful,it would be really sad to only save them for beef, my family would never stand for it.

We are having beef this year, rather nice organic dexter from a friend's herd.

We have Yorkshire Puddings with EVERY roast dinner - even turkey!

YANBU
Yorkshire puddings with roast beef on Christmas Day and with roast chicken on Boxing Day.

Mind you they are DD2's fav thing and me DM and DSIS were born in Yorkshire. DDad's family and childhood were all Yorkshire, it was only WW2 that meant his dad was stationed with the family further south.

YANBU I thought everyone had yorkie puds with christmas dinner
