AIBU?

To think that Yorkshire puddings do not go in a Christmas dinner?

A traditional Christmas dinner that is. Yorkshire puddings are for roast beef surely? Not turkey and ham. What if the pudding accidentally touches the cranberry sauce?

Yorkshire’s are marvellous inventions. Shove on your starter, have them with your main, eat with syrup for pudding.

Of course they belong on a Christmas dinner!

Yanbu but some people like them and surely the best celebratory dinner is one you enjoy.

Peas, mind. They have no place at all. Shelly, round fuckers.

YABVU. Yorkshire puds literally go with everything. We have them with any kind of roast!

YPs go with all meats. If they only came with beef, I would be distraught. Apple sauce with Turkey, tastes great with YPs as well.

YABU. Yorkshires go with everything. Mind you, I don't eat meat. But I don't understand how they intrinsically go with beef but not turkey.

They absolutely do! I'd quite honestly just have a pile of Yorkshire's and a jug of gravy, sod the meat

YABVU! If there's gravy with a meal it should always come with Yorkshire pudding. They're hands down the best part of any roast dinner.

Yorkshire puddings are good with anything. I don't usually make them at Xmas just because of lack of oven space.

What if the pudding accidentally touches the cranberry sauce?
My northern mother would sometimes serve Yorkshire pud (a baking tray sized one) with golden syrup as a desert. So I'm pretty sure cranberry sauce would work well with it.

YANBU. My DH disagrees and last year rebelled by making his own for his plate . They’re great with a Sunday roast but not for Christmas dinner imo and I say this as someone from Yorkshire.

As a child we never had Yorkshire puds with Christmas dinner, it just wasn't done. Since I've been an adult they've been firmly back on the menu. I have them with any roast, not just beef, because they are delicious & my DC love them. YABtotallyU.

They don't go in Christmas dinner, but every year I feel they should.
The conclusion I came to is there's not enough space or time to make them with a Christmas dinner.

Yanbu, but as some twisted fucker decided sprouts, the putrid green balls of evil, should be traditional I don't see any harm including something tasty that just doesn't really go with turkey.

My dd was outraged today that there were no Yorkshire’s on her school Christmas dinner. I had to tell her that, although we have them, it’s not traditional. I never had them on a Christmas dinner whilst growing up but I’ve come to appreciate their marvellousness and now we have them.
