Roast dinners - IN or OUT of the Yorkshire

[cheshunt seagull]

My grandmother was from South Yorkshire and she always served Yorkshire pudding before the main course, flat like a pancake covered in gravy. The reason she gave was that it would take the edge of people's appetite so they wouldn't notice how little meat was served.

The beef should be rare and outside of the Yorshire pud. The Yorkshire pud should be filled with red wine

 

[CHAPPERS]

It's a landslide, and one I hadn't predicted. Astonishing results so far.

 

[Normal Rob]

The problem with your preferred way is that it provide so much filler that it negates the need for the prize element of Sunday lunch - the roast potato!

 

[Acker79]

Out! Definitely out. The yorkshire is supposed to be crispy, that's never gonna happen if you use it as a bowl.

Toad in the hole = IN

Roast dinner = Out

Agreed.

 

[Emily's Mum]

I'm definitely an outie, but it took me years to get used to having the Yorkshire Pud as a starter when I had to live there. There was complete uproar when we got married, as I refused to have Yorkshire Pud & Gravy as a starter

The picture of it out is exactly how I think Roast Beef should be, rare and pink but accompanied with horseradish sauce and a strong english mustard.

I do not know why people go on about perfect Yorkies as they are so easy to make follow Brian Turners example and use equal quantaties of Eggs, SR Flour and milk, leave in fridge for 1 hour and then add to hot pan where the fat is nearly smoking. They will always come out perfect.

The meat in that bottom picture doesn't even look cooked.

I was just thinking that it looked PERFECT.

I don't really care either was whether my roast is in or out of the yorkshire, as long as there's plenty of it!

 

[Seagull Stew]

Damn, I miss Yorkshire pud!

 

[alan partridge]

I like it when I get a roast IN a yorkshire pud at the pub, it's a bit special. At home though it's always OUT.

 

[Austrian Gull]

I don't mind one or two yorkshire puddings, but having your whole dinner SURROUNDED by it just takes it too far in my opinion.

Give me extra sprouts instead.

That's just madness! What kind of sick individual would want extra sprouts over extra yorkshire puddings?

I haven't had a yorkshire pudding for at least half a year - can't wait to get back to England.

Oh, and out.

 

[Northstander]

The correct way to have a Yorkie on your sunday dinner is in fact as a starter with onion gravy made from the sediment in the bottom of the roasting tin.

Deeeeeelish!!!!

Is the correct answer! Mrs Potter is from Yorkshire stock and that is how her gran used to do it, as a starter to pad out the meal.

Not so common nowadays, but whatever the circumstances there can be no excuse for "in"!

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

OUT
The yorkshire pud should be filled with extra hot horseradish sauce and a rich gravy.

 

[Commander]

Out out out

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Roast OUT!

 

[folkestonesgull]

mmm that beef looks great. Need lunch

 

[Moshe Gariani]

How would you handle a CARVERY free-for-all?

Most carvery Yorkshires don't lend themselves to optimal filling. My preferred solution is to find the largest one available and tuck it UNDER my plate thus leaving maximum space up top to fill with roasties, parsnips, sprouts, broccoli, carrots and, the all important, cauliflower cheese.

My ma, God bless her soul, used to make so many delightful crispy Yorskhires that we would occasianlly put GOLDEN SYRUP on them and eat them as a desert
