It goes against everything that Yorkshire Puddings are FOR. Yorkshire puddings are a starter. They are supposed to fill you up so you don't eat so much meat. Eating them all together ruins the flow of the meal. It is so much more difficult to get meat and veg and gravy and puds out all at the same time - the timings of all the elements work perfectly and harmoniously when Yorkshires are served first. The joint sits resting and being eyeballed by hungry diners, the puds come straight to table from the hottest oven (not sharing a medium oven with the meat) The vegetables go on as you sit for the puds. Trying to serve up main course as everyone else sits for melon or some inferior starters that does not match the main meal is rubbish.
Why oh why does everyone insist on having them on the same plate? There's barely room! Puds are HUGE if you make them right. A shallow bowl with a huge pud and very good gravy - heaven. Follow with meat and veg. It is civilised. Don't get me started on carveries
AIBU?
