    Its a big no no in our house, Yorkshire Puddings have their time and place and that has never been on the Christmas lunch table.
    But each to their own I suppose.

    Yeh, I hear that a lot mate. I just don't get it though.

    Christmas dinner is basically just a sunday roast lunch with extras. I've never understood why some things are ok and some aren't.

    But as you say, each to their own.

    Hope you had a cracking day up there mate.

    Just booked a 3 day break about 10 minutes ago, near to your neck of the woods, on Windermere over Easter. <ok>

    We have yorkshires with either beef or lamb. For today we had turkey and a smoked gammon so no yorkshires mind with everything else we wouldn't have got them on the plate.

    Yorkshires with red meat only for me although I had tea at someone's house who did them with a chicken dinner and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it taste wise so I might change my mind on it.

    I've eaten many turkey sandwiches tonight. Some might say too many.

    Same here mate.
    Turkey crown of which there is plenty left.
    Might make a stew or some broth.
    Tees might provide me with a recipe for that.
    My ex wife had beef & she had Yorkshire puddings - jammy ****er, lol.

    No Yorkshires today but only because no room on plate. ****ing 3 hours spent in kitchen, one child finished theirs before I had sat down and the other hardly touched theirs. Good day though.

    This is always been a bone of contention
    I absaloutly love Yorkshire’s
    And will have them regularly including of course Sunday lunch
    However I have never ever had a Yorkshire on my Christmas dinner.
    And that includes as a youngster at home and the few occasions I have had Christmas dinner at my extended family.
    Thinking about it maybe there was no room on the plate

    Absolute must for any Sunday roast. ...after all that what a Christmas dinner is. Loved ours today. Turkey was immense, roasties delicious cooked in Goose fat and sprouts devoured without touching the sides. Hope all enjoyed their day.

    • 3 large eggs
    • 125g plain flour
    • ½ tsp sea salt
    • 150ml whole milk
    • Vegetable oil
    COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
    MAKES 8 LARGE YORKSHIRES

    1. Beat the eggs together in a mixing bowl using a balloon whisk. Sift the flour with the salt, then gradually beat this into the eggs to make a smooth batter. Whisk in the milk until combined. Cover and leave to stand at room temperature for about 1 hour.
    2. Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/Gas 7. Put 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil into each compartment of two 4-hole Yorkshire pudding tins (see Tip). If you only have one tin, you’ll have to do this in two batches. Place the tin in the oven for 12–15 minutes to heat up the oil and tins until very hot. This is important for the rise.
    3. Stir the batter and pour into a jug. At the oven (this is safer than carrying a tin of hot oil across the kitchen), carefully pour some batter into the middle of the oil in each hole, remembering that it is very hot. Watch out as the oil will sizzle a bit as the batter hits it. Put the tins straight back into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the Yorkshires are well risen, golden brown and crisp.
    4. Serve immediately with Roast Beef with gravy and all the trimmings.
    Sorry its late xx
