And just what in the name of Satan's 16' throbbing red gigglestick do you call this??

A Yorkshire Pudding is a savoury dish. Always has been. Always will be.

You just buck up your ideas, my laddo!

Anything with "pudding" in the name must be a dessert, analgous to custard.

Anything else is named incorrectly.

/gauntlet.

(Seriously though, never heard of Yorkshire pudding or a Dutch baby until today)

More heresy from the colonies. File it next to iced tea.

Black Pudding. Yorkshire Pudding. Steak Pudding. White Pudding.

All sorts.

You. Language back. Now. If you're going to abuse it, you shan't have it.

Then what do Americans put gravy in!?

It's worse.

Not only to they have nothing to put their gravy in, their gravy isn't even gravy! It's all white!

Just wait till we deep fry that sucker and cover it with cheese.

Then what are you gonna do?

I heard it was bad over in America but I never thought it could be that bad! We need to start floating Yorkshire Puds, filled with gravy, off the west coast as international relief!

Jesus christ! It's a Scot in disguise!

Now I have a craving for bangers and mash on yorkshire pudding.

Justifiably accuse you of muscling in on Scotland's culinary turf.

Don't bring a Corndog to a Munchie Box fight!

Point of order: Gravy in my neck of the woods is actually greyish in color - because we cook it up with sausage.

Additionally, we recognize the glory and majesty of Gravy (capitalized on purpose) and feel that it is heresy to conceal it, so we pour it over biscuits.

And by 'biscuits' I don't mean 'cookies' like you tea-swilling freaks.

Spoiler:

Oooo, I do have sausages in for tea but I might just have to pop down to the local chippy for a Munchy.

Sounds like Scotland has it's head on right.

No, by biscuits, you mean Scones.

Which is pronounced Scone. No. Not Scone. Scone. Honestly. Some people.

I just want to take a moment to thank everyone for the laughs this morning.

Work has been borderline unbearable today and this actually made me smile.

This is also as bad as the time you reckoned you'd invented the sausage roll, sometime last year.

Sausage Rolls are pleb food. We've had them for aeons. So plebby are they, I'm going to get some mini ones tonight for my tea.

We put it over rice or on mash potatoes you barbararian!

But where do the mashed spuds go?

You can't not have them in a Yorkie. That's....positively plebeian!

No, it's pronounced cornbread.

Wait is this some sort of pot pie?

No, it's a Yorkshire Pudding.

Do try to keep up

Next thing you'll be expressing bafflement at Toad in the Hole!

Is that like cabrito?

Hang on, HANG ON.

I was under the impression that in older times, "Yorkshire puddings" could were used before main meals, as a filler to help stretch the meat further. And they were also used as a sweet snack the next day - reheated and filled with jam.

The term pudding was coined for meat based puddings in the 16th-17th century, as when Yorkshire puddings were introduced, leading to the confusion as a sweet. Originally named not Yorkshire pudding, but as dripping puddings. They were cooked under the meat to catch the juices to help their calorific value, vital to ward of hunger.

I am 100% baffled.

Toad in the Hole



Trick is to get a good crispy bottom on it.

So, a Dutch Baby is a sweet Yorkshire pudding? I am confused on how they are related.

As an American of British descent I am truly ashamed.

I'll go get In n Out to feel better.

No.

A Dutch Baby is an abomination



Man. Hope nobody takes that line out of context!

That looks epic (and not in the 40K sense you understand)!

I have had carne asada pizza before here in the UK though

Brits moaning about other people mangling their culture is hilarious and lighthearted hypocrisy, a welcome change from all the deplorable and mean spirited hypocrisy floating around other threads in here. Bravo for raising the tone of the OT!
