Yorkshire puds on Christmas Dinner

[Stu]

Debate started in our house today! 

 

I was told no ast they belong on a Sunday roast 

 

 

But its Sunday and we have just roasted a turkey

[rennie]

If you want them have them 

[Bianco2564]

Yes, but not filled with gravy, need to be crispy.

[Bender]

Just why wouldn't you want them, so if you can't have them cause they are on a Sunday roast then you can't have potatoes, carrots gravy sprouts etc, gonna be a boring meal turkey and nothing else  

[skyrider]

christmas dinner is a carvery anyway 

[Guest]

Ditch turkey, bring on Yorkshire puds

[Mississippi Bullfrog]

Yes, because our oven is a silly size and we can't get a turkey in it. So we have beef done in two slow cookers. 

 

I'm not a huge fan of turkey anyway.  

 

 

[Fish]

every roast gets some yorkies

 

[S-Westerly]

Sorry but yorkies are absolutely only to be had with roast beef. Anything else is nothing less than sacrilege. Like ketchup on steak.

[Old-codger]

We were going to have yorkshires with the xmas dinner but do to poor service from the kitchen staff they got left in the oven Doh. 

In no way am I laying any blame on my partner as she is a lot stronger than I am and has violent tendencys, so lets just say it was my fault.

An exception would be as a starter or pudding

As they started out life as a filler and are frequently seen on dinners of many varieties I'm afraid limiting it to those that can afford beef is just sentimtal bourgeoisie eletism and should be stamped out before a revolution is called for

You could always have a Dutch baby or at a push a clafoutis 

[rennie]

We have Yorkshire Puddings every time we have any sort of roast dinner!

just because we can 

[fullscreenaging]

Yes

A Christmas dinner is a roast dinner in our house, of course, Yorkshire puds. 

I’m not keen on Turkey so it was slow cooked roast beef and gammon done in separate slow cookers. Both were absolutely gorgeous. Even though my wife is a veggie, she does the most amazing meats. 
She’s veggie not by principle, but because she doesn’t like the taste of any meat. She’s weird!

[MikeHorton]

What about Yorkshire puddings filled with kebab meat?

[Tiggie]

@MikeHorton  Sounds pretty good to me!! 

 

[billy sugger]

My local frozen food outlet does aunt Bessie's large Yorkshire puds and frozen kebab meat (not together obviously),

[iangaryprice]

Everything goes in serving dishes in the cente of the table - everyones chaoice to have/not have them.

[Tiggie]

Yorkshire pudding burger?  

[fastbob]

So that's practically unanimous in favour . I'll tell you what I think has no place at the Christmas dinner table , Cauliflower Cheese . Cauliflower if you must , but cheese ? 

[S-Westerly]

You've not converted me I'm holding out as an elitist beef eater.

We have cauliflower cheese on all our roasts too! and usually extra cheese sauce!

The issue we have is that Sue only has roast spuds! where as I like roasties and mash!

On the contrary,  in ye olden days beef was the poor man's meat, along with oysters. Chicken and turkey were only for the toffs. 

 

The only thing I object to being served is red cabbage. Nasty slimy stuff.
