just not the done thing Com, not in my family anyway. None of the lads in work have them either, don't know about how many others would have Yorkshire puds on their xmas dinner?
No Yorkshires on Xmas mate, usually starts with a home made pate and some sort of stilton-style mush soup, that I won't touch. Then the main, arguments, family fights, you're all ****s, bucks fizz cork to the face, grandma (rest her dear soul) crying and wants to go home, dog's climbed on the table and been at the turkey... then at about 7pm when everybody has had a little nap, she'll bring out some trifle or chocolate log and we'll all make up.
Oh she's a dab hand in the kitchen for sure, but she didn't pass that on to me. My brother is even worse, div can't even make cheese on toast. I watched him put bread with grated cheese in the microwave once, when I was a kid.
One thing I hate, is a hipster Christmas dinner ****off with your new ****. Nobody wants roasted nutloaf. Nobody wants recycled roasties done in organic coconut oil outside using a bed pan on a bonfire. Nobody wants sweet orange gravy with fennel served in a petrol can. Nobody wants 'Camden Sprouts'.
We're having chicken this year, **** the turkey it's tasteless and dry, so going for the largest chicken i can get and a leg of lamb. Still got to have sprouts like, oddly enough i love them, plus all the usual trimmings. Roast and mashed tattle, roast parsnips, carrots, yorker puds, stuffing, cranberry sauce and mint for the lamb. No starter though and probably finish it off with a cheesecake.
Glad im not the only one to have york puds. Cheesecake outdoes xmas pud by a long way. (as long as it aint cherry).
Yorkshire Puds with Christmas dinner is wrong on all levels, you cannot seriously eat YPs on Christmas day, its wrong I tell you all wrong.
My mam always makes yorkshire puddings on xmas day. This is the first time that i've heard that there seems to be something wrong with it.
Well I've been eating Xmas dinners for more years,than I care to admit, my mum bless her was the absolute queen of YP makers and we never ate them at Xmas. Surely YPs go with Roast Beef and back in the day we always had Turkey and no other choice of meat as seems the norm today to have at least two choices. So no Roast Beef = no Yorkshire Puddings simples. You wouldn't put mint sauce on chicken now would you, so we never mixed and matched but being any easy going sort of a guy then each to his own now.
Said it earlier, never had yorkies with my xmas dinner, just never happened....not in our family ever n my mam can make some monster Yorkshires as well.
We've always had beef and turkey at xmas so the inclusion of Yorkshire Puddings are acceptable in your book then I suppose. However I have never been made aware in over 30 years of Sunday dinners that traditionally Yorkshire Puddings should only be exclusively served with roast beef. You learn something new every day.
