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?

If you've not put cranberry sauce or even better jam, in a Yorkshire pudding you haven't lived 😆

Oven is not big enough*

We have turkey and beef for Christmas dinner so yorkies are a must.

YBVVU.
Am with PPs who say any roast dinner with gravy demands Yorkshires.
I would have a riot on my hands if there were none for Christmas dinner

Can anyone tell me what the point of brussle spourts is. Hardly anyone likes them. They are only seen on the table that time of the year with no one touching them. It's not like there is no other veg being served

YABU Yorkshire pudding go with absolutely everything!

Sprouts are for clearing the room when you’ve had enough of family time

YANBU.
I love YP’s but they definitely don’t belong with Christmas dinner.

My 2 year old thinks YABVU

YANBU!!! They do not belong in a Christmas Dinner. Stuffing with Turkey, Yorkshire Puddings with beef.

YAB so U!

I love them and I know a lot of other people who do. I can happily eat half a bag(or more) roasted with nothing else to accompany them.

I'm from Yorkshire and I serve Yorkshire puddings with all roasts even ON Christmas Day ...we are eating out this year for the first time and my grown up daughters are threatening to take some with us as the restaurant isnt serving them !!!

Of course they go with Christmas Dinner. That should be compulsory. The restaurant we go to even serves them.

Cranberry sauce is what should be banished from the Christmas table. Horrid stuff, and the pot almost always gets flung out virtually still full. Why does anyone want to put jam on a savoury meal?

Well OP this has just caused a minor domestic in our house! I think they go with everything but DP the chef apparently thinks not! It's our first Christmas cooking so only just realised this! I have a few days left to persuade him...

As for the original question Yorkshire puddings should go with whatever you like. There's no need for ridiculous rules. That said I'm not the biggest fan of them. They're ok but I'd rather fill up on other foods. I do enjoy them hot with honey though.

I'm with you, OP, but DP and his family are of the opinion that a roast is not a roast without Yorkies.

When we cooked Christmas dinner for all of them the other year, his niece came over as I was mixing the batter and asked me what I was making. When I told her, she looked really surprised and said "Oh, I didn't know you could make them".

Turns out she thought Aunt Bessie had invented them and they had to come the Aunt Bessie factory. Then I blew her mind by telling her that if I cooked a bit of the batter in a frying pan, it would be a pancake. She thought you had to buy a packet of pancake mix to make a pancake.

She was 19 at the time, so I was a bit surprised. If she'd been 7 or something, I could have understood her not knowing!

Sadly not surprised by that, Lakie...

Not Unreasonable at all. Yorkshire puddings go with beef... and only beef.
Eating Yorkshire Pudding at Christmas illustrates all that is wrong with the world. Its the thin edge of the wedge. Beginning of the end.

First Brexit, then election, now Yorkshires for Christmas... no wonder I need tablets! Reaching for the Sertraline now!

Yorkshire's are amazing with cranberry sauce...

If they were only for beef I'd never get them as I hate beef but I love a carby pud.

If you don't want them, don't have them, but Xmas is about all the best food - which includes Yorkshire's.

I always manage to make them - make the night before and freeze and then shove them in for 6 mins when the meat is resting. Sorted.

@ferrier who the fuck eats bread sauce over YPs? Ludicrous behaviour

Blew my mind when I found out Toby Carvery do Yorkies as part of their breakfast menu. I'm a total convert!
