Do you serve Yorkshire puddings with your Christmas lunch?

[RuttleTuttle]

This isn't a thing I or my family have ever done. But online, I see that some people do. Do you?

Yes

Dear god, noooo. They go in the oven as everything else is put on the table and put out. As all the plates are loaded and ready to go they make their triumphant entrance 😁

Yes. Love a Yorkshire pudding, a roast of any kind isn’t complete without a couple!

Does he use chickpea water to replace the eggs? I do dairy free with oat milk for DD (just add a TINY bit of baking powder as I find otherwise they can be a bit dense) but have wondered if chickpea water would work if I needed to go vegan.

You can.
Anything with gravy was served with Yorkshire pudding or dumplings by my Yorkshire mum growing up. And as a born & bred Yorkshire woman I don’t see any need to change that.
I could make a meal out of Yorkshires and good gravy.

I cook them the day before or the Sunday before and then pop in the oven for 5 minutes whilst dishing up - not really taking up space, especially when the meat comes out 90 minutes before the dinner

Good advice. I have a large jug specifically for Yorkie batter!

I also use lard or dripping as my fat.

Low fill tins are best.

Never.
They're intended to fill up diners to cut down on meat, anathema to me.

No, not with turkey!

Depends which specific parts of the meal my youngest DS has decided he likes that week. If he’s in his ‘everything tastes funny’ era, I’ll do them as an extra thing to fill him up as I know they’re a crowd-pleaser.

Of course! The DCs would go mad if we didn't have grandma's Yorkshire Pud!

And oysters were to fill up space in pies and poached wild salmon was poor people food in Scotland.

There are plenty of delicious foods that had humble beginnings.

Always! There'd be a riot from my husband and child if we didnt. To be honest we have them with every roast (and some stews, sausage and mash....).

Yes because we have beef for Christmas dinner, not turkey.

Not normally but did last year as a family member who came for dinner was horrified that we don't have yorkshires on a Christmas dinner

No.
I like Christmas dinner to be different from a general roast. This year I might do goose with red cabbage so it's not like a normal Sunday dinner.

Of course! It’s the law for every roast dinner.

Yes. I'd have Yorkshires with lasagne, tbh.

I think this too!

Ok, so I “do” Yorkshire Puds at Xmas, but with a lot of help from my Auntie Bessie if you know what I mean. I think this is quite common?

I would draw the line there. But I don’t approve of chips or bread with lasagne either.

<mutters> Heathens.

Yes, but I don’t do turkey as none of us are keen, so we’ll be having beef and lamb instead.

Indeed a triumphant moment!

Yes! Yorkshires go with every roast!

Yes of course. Otherwise your gravy would spill off the plate...
