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?

Ds has a plateful for Christmas dinner, so the rest of us have started having one too. Not home-made though, as I can't run to that as well as everything else, and ds doesn't care.

This is outrageous talk, Yorkshire Pudding forms an entire food group for one of a my DS and has done for years.

My best friend assures me I shouldn't serve them with anything other than beef and she is probably right because she knows about these things. But I serve them anyway because us and the DSs love them with any roast. I gave her the option a while back when I served roast chicken of not having a Yorkshire with hers... she said "When in Rome" and ate it!

Anything yummy can go with a Christmas dinner, so yes to Yorkshires

It's never been a thing in my family but I like the idea

Funniest thing is that people think turkey is a traditional Christmas meat, not really in this country unless you are talking last 60 years.

But then again show me the pine trees ect in the Christmas legend.

With roast beef only for me. And I'm from Yorkshire. DP, from W Yorkshire has 2 as a starter then 1 with his meal

But have em if you like em, I say

I forgot the Yorkshire puddings one year, that was the year everyone sulked

YABVU! Yorkshires belong with every roast

Get out. Yorkshire puddings are the best part of roast

Yabvvvvvu, Yorkshire puddings belong with any and EVERY roast, even if a chef disagrees they are plainly just wrong. In fact this post has made me want to dish up the Xmas dinner on a large bowl of YPs 😁

Oh thanks! I’d forgotten to get them and my son wouldn’t have been happy!

Get them?!?!?

Flour, eggs, milk and water (I use Delia’s recipe). Make sure the fat is REALLY hot and you’ll have lovely big fluffy Yorkshire pudding! Cheaper too!

This thread has made me hungry. Toad in the hole for tea tonight I think .....

Yorkshire puddings most definitely only with beef. I thing pubs added them tp pad out roast dinners with a cheap food. Beef and horseradish. A Christnas dinner is a complet blow out anywayy without adding more stodge

YANBU, I'd never ever have them if I had my choice. Until my daughter got married I'd never heard of them with Christmas dinner. I now make them and they get fought over. I still don't understand why anyone would want them at a meal that already has loads of stuff.

considering Cranberry sauce is meant to go in them (as is jams) I dont see the issue.

I feel sorry for people who cant appreciate a Yorkie, its actually physically sad to see the bare gap in their dinner and know they are missing out - they are literally the main part, without Yorkie its just average dinner.

YANBU. Theres a time and a place for yorkshires - and its not Christmas dinner!

Cranberry sauce isnt meant to go in them gravy is.

You can have them with anything!

Having said that, my Christmas dinner will probably be a roast chicken on Christmas Eve, with quinoa and pomegranate seeds, served with yoghurt, chilli sauce, flatbread and some kind of greens, so what do I know about tradition

Surely without a Yorkshire dinner would be just meat and two veg (or maybe some more veg).

I never knew that they weren’t traditional but baring in mind they’re my favourite part of a roast my mother wouldn’t have got me to sit down without them.

'I've never come across pearl-clutching over what a Yorkshire Pud "goes with" before Mumsnet.

They go with anything. It's just a Yorkshire Pud. Your bowels won't shrivel up and die if you eat one with turkey instead of beef. How ridiculous'

It is a thread about Yorkshire puddings FFS I don't think it really requires a neon flashing LIGHTHEARTED sign

'Unless you are from Yorkshire you cant have an opinion. Cultural misappropriation and all that.'

Hmm, doesn't this mean it's cultural misappropriation for yorkies to be eaten outside of Yorkshire at all

Absolutely- why would we share?

They are NEVER called yorkies.

It wouldn't be Xmas dinner without yorkie puddings!

YABU. They are my favourite. MIL and mum won't eat beef so it would mean I could never have them otherwise (even not big enough for two bits of meat). I think people can have whatever they like for their Christmas dinner anyway.

MIL thinks the same as you and DH put his foot down last year and said since we faff about with all the things she didn't like for Xmas dinner, she can stop complaining about yorkshires.

I agree.
Unfortunately my kids dont
I let them have them
Leaves more room on my plate for the good stuff
