Yorkshire puddings

[Peanuts]

Do you non-uk people eat Yorkshire puddings? I was wondering tonight (I made them for dinner) traditionally they are served as part of a roast dinner when you have beef, but I like them with every roast dinner.  They are so yummy. And the best thing is they work as a dessert too, my youngest didn't eat his dinner, so I scoffed his covered in butter and jam (or jelly as you might say!) for dessert

I love them but have never made them.  Sadly, not an American thing, but my mother (of English extraction) made them once when I was a child - so yummy!

Because NZ was made up of a lot of English Aristocrats who came out on the first sailings  English recipes are very well received here, we love yorkshire puds but to make them properly you need a lot of fat - and so they are only for special occasions here.  NZ also prefers british programs and humour too.

Oh I love that! Only had it once on a cruise ship. And anything UK is good for me! Ummm, well most things. 

 

Say, what do you call spaghetti with meat sauce? A Brit who moved here called it by another name, I forgot.

I've never had the pleasure of tasting yorkshire pudding, but I imagine them to be fabulous tasting.  Some months ago I was watching Jamie Oliver's youtube channel and he made yorkshire pudding which looked mouth-watering to say the least.

 

By the way, many Americans call them "popovers".  As someone had told the story a few years ago, an American popovered to England at some point and noticed how delicious they were, stole the recipe, so he/she made a popover back to the U.S. and decided to call it something different.

I don't actually use that much fat, just a bit of vegetable oil in each section of the tin, maybe a couple of teaspoons. You have to use an oil that gets really hot, so olive oil is no good.

You will have to try and make them!

 

i just call it spaghetti bolognese...or spag Bol for short! Sometimes the sauce is called ragu...I don't really know what the difference is between ragu and bolognese though.

Good trivia!  not sure I'd describe travelling all the way to America as a 'popover' though 

 

ive got a few Jamie Oliver recipe books and he hasn't let me down yet, everything has come out really well. I used to find him a bit irritating, but I actually think he's a really nice guy. All the campaigning he does seems to be out of a genuine passion rather than just publicity seeking. His latest crusade is against the amount of sugar hidden in all our foods.
