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?

@EnthusiasmIsDisturbed TOAST and BEES??!!

Who cares?! Eat what you like.

YABVVU

I asked my DC what they absolutely had to have for Xmas dinner. Both answered YPs with gravy! The dirty things drink the gravy out of the YPs.
We have them for every roast dinner

This is sacrilegious talk in my house 😊 Christmas dinner isn't Christmas dinner without Yorkshires. One year I had dinner at my PILs and there were no Yorkshires. Now we have Christmas at home.

Each to their own, but I agree with you, OP. Yorkshire puddings were invented as a cheap way to bulk out a meal, I find them too much on top of all the extra trimmings that are around at Christmas.

YABU.
Yorkshire puddings go with every roast dinner.

Toast and bees is lovely 😁

I agree with you op. I don't think cauliflower cheese goes either. Traditional Christmas lunch already includes: stuffing, pigs, bread sauce, cranberry, roasties and parsnips. No more carbs required surely.

YABU. Infamy. Yorkshire puds belong with nearly everything, especially proper homemade ones.

YABVVVVVU. HTH.

I totally agree but have been beaten down by my kids and DH. We have turkey not beef and therefore I do not have a Yorkshire. This year DD1 is making ahead freezing them and bringing she is so keen to make sure I don't 'forget'

Love the yorkshires!! YABVU!!

Yabu Yorkshire pudding belongs with EVERYTHING.
Even jam.

bangs gavel.

The end

Yabvvvu. Yorkshire puddings go on every single roast dinner. It's not a roast dinner without a Yorkshire pudding, and they will be part of my christmas dinner.

Well I'm not a huge fan of Turkey, so I do beef for me so Yorkshire's are part of the menu. Had to do loads as my Turkey eating family now demand Yorkshire's with their dinner.! Eat what you like!

YABU. I'm no lover of roast beef, far too easy to end up tough, rubbery and bland, so if I didn't eat Yorkshire Pudding with any roast going (including Christmas Dinner), I'd be deprived of a great joy in life. I don't end up with roast dinners often anyway as for a family who don't agree on what vegetables are tasty, it's a lot of work to cook at home just because.

Get outta here! Of course Yorkshire puddings go with any meal that has roast potatoes involved, heck I will even have it with roast chicken and mash with lashings of gravy.

Im really hungry now and I never usually eat breakfast/get hungry before 11am

"What if the pudding accidentally touches the cranberry sauce"

I don't eat YP, but I don't see the difference in that and having a sandwich with turkey and cranberry sauce.

My Adult children eat YPs with every roast dinner.

My roast dinner doesn't have mash potatoes and things like cauliflower cheese, either. But other people's do.

@MotherTime3 - Yes! Fruit with gravy sounds absolutely vile.

In fact I’d go one further, fruit in anything traditionally savoury is wrong, WRONG I SAY!

I have never made or eaten them without roast beef 😊

I agree with the OP, Yorkshire pudding goes with roast beef, and only a Philistine would put it with Christmas roast dinner.
When we have it, it’s served as a separate course with gravy, before the main course.

Yorkshire Pudding goes with every kind of roast!! If it's got gravy...pile them on 👍

Surely gravy makes them soggy?

We don't have them with Christmas dinner and I'm always (pleasantly) surprised to see them with anything but beef.

You fill each one with gravy, when you cut into it then the gravy pours out. The top is nice and crispy and the bottom is a nice amount of soggy

Yorkshire puddings belong with every meal.
