They were originally served as a starter to fill the tummy up as, being made with relatively inexpensive ingredients, it would mean less of the more pricey stuff being consumed afterwards!

I would rather have more cauliflower or broccoli (I have always loved loads of vegetables with my supper)

Does that include cauliflower cheese?

Asking for a friend.

I hate Yorkshire puddings (and I was born and brought up in Yorkshire)

When ever we went to Sunday lunch at my nana and grandads we were always given Yorkshire pudding with onion gravy as a ‘starter’ before the main meal, we would never have Yorkshire puddings with a meal.

If you were still hungry after the meal it was Yorkshire pudding and golden syrup.

MF I am not sure what has got into you? I thought you were from Yorkshire originally? If so, I’m shocked.

I have never known YPs being served as a starter either?

I make a wonderful cauliflower at gratin - my late Mothrs recipe. Takes ages to do but boy oh boy it’s a scrumptious snack with warm ciabatta

Brought up in the London Suburbs and Yorkshire Pudding (large, made in roasting tin) was only ever served with roast beef. I would never serve it with any other meat (the kids do but I blame the in laws) and I don't bother for just us as we are neither keen and eat far too much unhealthy food as it is.

They did use to be used before the main meal to fill you up I think? I'm sure I read somewhere it was poor people that did this.

I love a Yorkshire pudding and mine are massive

[Scaramouche]

Love them! Having them today and agree you can’t have any roast without them!

I believe people up north eat lots of yorsshire puddings. Even though I'm not from up north I do occasionally eat a couple of yorkshires with a roast.

Would you like to share your recipe please? I know 2 ways, one with a traditional cheese sauce and one (for low carbing) with a Welsh rarebit type topping.
