It must surely be time for the annual discussion concerning Yorkshire Pudding with Christmas dinner.
Knowledgeable sophisticates understand that it should only be on Christmas plates if you are having beef - not a common choice on 25/12. Never with turkey , goose or any other meat.
Modesty forbids that I should mention any 'knowledgeable sophisticates' by name. |  | | |  |

Protein heavy, no veg!
Although, that does look effing good! |
Sprouts and braised red cabbage buh, so veg and fruit all there.
Copious amounts of Stilton and truffled Baron Bigod for afters to make sure yer well and truly clogged up. |  |

While I rather like Yorkshire pudding, so many extras are heaped on a plate on Christmas Day that I feel it is something I can do very well without. |  |

Absolute bobbins that.
Batter puddings go with anything roasted, given some of the nonsense people scoff on Christmas day then they're fine.
Besides if you're actually applying the rules, then you should only have them as a starter before consuming your beef feast. |
We just need our other local gourmet Eggers here to make the debate complete. | |

Given you've probably not tasted much since 2006, I'd respectfully suggest you pipe down old fruit x |  |

That's how my grandmother used to do it.
Yorkshire pudding with gravy to start with.
I think it was to fill them up before the more expensive stuff was server, but had the bonus f being delicious. |
I’m glad I’m not alone in having experienced the joy of the Yorkshire pudding tray before the main course. We all shared it before my grandad carved the joint. I suspect eating it that way’s origins were to fill up before the more expensive stuff, but by the time I experienced it, it was pure tradition. My grandparents lived well, close to Christchurch Park.
The modern frozen Yorkshire puddings are not the same. The merest nod to a good home made one, but since Mrs C does most of the cooking and is good at it, I’m not going to complain. [Post edited 15 Dec 2022 19:11]

My grandmother, a Yorkshire lass, ate her yorkshire pudding at tea time with a big dollop of jam.
Before you knock it try it. |  |

Yorkshires and stuffing belong on the plate regardless of the meat. |  |

Turkey+Yorkshire pudding = the meal of a child.
Anyway, it's a batter pudding, arrogantly renamed by people from the arrogantly (and misleadingly) named 'God's Own County'. |  |

Couldn't give a fook, I would rather have a big slab of stuffing than meat. | |

No way baby, they fill too much of the plate up. Mind you, if having beef then I think it is a possibility.
If having turkey then a bit of suet pudding perhaps - with a sprinkling of curry powder.
Edit - I think you mean batter puddings [Post edited 15 Dec 2022 15:12]

I challenge you to fill a plate so full of food that you can’t top it with a yorkie |  | | |

I read that as.... you have had your grandparents cryogenically frozen....but now I see what you meant
But I'm with you all the way with the hate towards Aunt Bessie's cardboard Tutt
Although I vaguely approve of the ones she makes that are little hockey-pucks of frozen batter in a small foil holder. They are kinda ok |  | | |

Wording amended! Have you noticed how Aunt Bessie has got younger over the years? Weird. Must be the roasties. | | | |

Yorkies with anything other than roast Beef is a fusion food. Whatever next? Apple sauce with roast Turkey? Batter puddings as they should correctly be termed in our county were always the food that was put on your plate to reduce the amount of meat. That and suet tray; dumplings, or any other "fillers". With the way food prices are heading we may be going back to those wonderful things. Chitterlings anyone? Haslet? Pork cheese? |  |

Especially with one of the options as “Why do you ask this every year?” | |

You'd have to be a bit of a prick to list that as an option. | |
