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

[fligglepige]

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?

YABU, traditional or not who doesn’t want a Yorkshire pud?!

Ooh, leftover Yorkshire with golden syrup. Mmm. That’s got me thinking.

Yorkshire puddings are for roast beef. Roast lamb at an absolute push.

There's nothing "traditional" about turkey as a Christmas dinner, unless you also think it's "traditional" to gather round a television set on Christmas day. Roast beef has a much longer tradition as a Christmas dinner.

The only reason I don’t is oven space and the not being able to open the oven while they cook problem!

As a yorkshire lass, I would like someone to show me the rule that says yorkies can only go with beef. Seems like some ludicrous excuse made up by someone who couldn’t be arsed to make them one year.

They go with everything, and can only improve the taste of cranberry sauce (who the fuck decided fruit belonged on a main course?!)

I do not want to live in a world where I can't have a yorkie with my Christmas dinner. Or any dinner really. Yorkshire puds are delicious. YABU.

I'm with you OP. YPs go with beef. Bread sauce and cranberry sauce for the turkey. The whole dog's dinner of a meal is indigestion inducing enough without more brown carbs sitting there.

I suppose you are right, strictly speaking, but I have Yorkshire puds with everything and I know my son will be cooking them with his Christmas dinner next week, which I am looking forward to. Don't be such a snob! We can eat what we like surely.

EVERYTHING good about roasts belongs on a Christmas dinner.

Quite frankly I don't care what the meat is, a roast is shite without Yorkshires. And a Christmas lunch especially.

But then I don't care which meat it is. I want red bistro. And mint sauce (for on my potatoes)

My parents are vegetarians so to me all the sides and veg is what makes a roast great. I can leave the meat.

Stuffing. Parsnips. Pigs in blankets. Cauliflower cheese. Yorkshires. Yum.

What is wrong with you OP - it’s the best bit!

I’ll be making my giant Yorkshire’s in the morning to save oven space and popping back in to re-heat for 5 minutes whilst everything else is served up.

What fresh hell is this?

Hands off my yorkshires!

If you go to Toby Carvery you can get them
With your breakfast - they go surprisingly well!

PickAChew put your peas inside your Yorkshire pudding to maximise space on your plate.

YABU

Yorkshire puddings is a fabulous side for almost any meal, and great on their own too!

Heck, they're great as the actual main part of meal let alone a side.

YABU. I don't understand the whole only with beef thing! We have them with every meat!

Toby Carvery also offer macaroni cheese on the veg counter. No one seems to mind that.

YANBU Yorkshire puddings with roast beef only in this house and was the same in my parents house, never had them on Christmas Day, as we always have turkey. However, we do all love them so we are having mini yorkshires with roast beef and horseradish as canapes/starters!

Christmas dinner isn’t Christmas dinner without Yorkshire puddings!

If there isn’t Yorkshire puddings then it’s not Christmas dinner!

I used to think that way. But I've been converted. They're great, even if they get covered in cranberry sauce! Sprouts on the other hand should not be allowed near a plate.

YAB the most U I've seen all year in AIBU

@PickAChew omg, literally woke my husband up with my laugh!

They go with every toast dinner

We mostly had bees for Christmas Dinner and would have extra YP for the day (homemade of course)

YP, roast potatoes and stuffing is the best bits
