Yorkshire pudding BEFORE meal -anyone else?

41 replies

My DP insists on having a Yorkshire pudding in a bowl with gravy BEFORE a roast beef dinner. I'd never heard of this before I met him and I've always had mine with the meal and still do. Does anyone else do this or recognise this? I wonder if it's a regional thing (he is from yorkshire) interested to hear...

Interesting replies- thanks. The reason I asked about REGIONAL is because I'm from EAST Yorkshire and we didn't eat them this way and I didn't even know about it, DP is from WEST Yorkshire and he does.

OP

Does he also make too much YP and keep the leftovers to have cold with syrup or jam for tea or breakfast?

I introduced an international group of engineers to this delightful breakfast.

Sashh, now that's a good question! When I was a child we were offered it for pudding with butter and jam at my mum's friend's houses but DP had never heard if eating it this way (?)... Oh the complexities surrounding the good old Yorkshire pud!

Am from West Yorkshire and we did it this way when I was a child. And can I just say this thread is making me HUNGRY!!!

My dad always had it with ham on as a child. I do this for my kids now and they love it.

Jam not ham!!

Although ham could still work actually! I've seen a Yorkshire 'wrap' at football matches with the pudding flat like a pancake and wrapped around cold or hot meat-inventive! Just remembered our neighbours used to have it with jam and cream

Yum! Before, during and after for me, please.

Yep. Always have Yorkshire's first.

we had it in Warwickshire lol.so not just Yorkshire.except we were offered a bowl of sugar too!yorkshire dipped in sugar is devine.

Yep always before the main meal with gravy and mint sauce in our house . And leftover Yorkshire's with treacle or jam for pud. Although I have one cousin who loves them with vinegar and sugar . We have a pub local to us which specialises in giant Yorkshire's with various fillings. It's very popular.
I don't think it's an east/ West Yorkshire divide. I have lots of friends in East Yorkshire who have always done the same. I am from West Yorkshire and now live in North Yorkshire . Most parole in both places remember Sunday lunch this way.

My family is East Yorkshire, and we always had them with golden syrup after the main meal (this was with my grandparents). I remember being horrified the first time I saw them served with meat and gravy, had no idea it was unusual!

South Yorkshire born and bred, we always did too. Also had the leftover puddings fit tea with jam or syrup.

Brought up in North East. Great Aunts always had Yorkshire pudding first, mining family. Grandfather liked his dinner all together though.
