I don’t know much about foods, in Yorkshire
I hear they make a really great pudding
Though some of the ingredients are strange
They keep telling me it tastes really gooding
(is that a word?)
In the states, we use things, like milk or cream
Then mix in the flavorings, we enjoy most
In Britain, they use drippings from the beef
Sounds more like it should be over toast
(quite absurd!)
In the U.S., we put whipped cream on top
There’s no way we would ever use gravy!
Over there, they use a muffin pan to bake it
They claim, it always comes out, rather flaky
(I prefer mine creamy)
Okay, I say, I’ll give it a try
This Sunday, while the roast is cooking
I’ll scoop some goodness, out of the fridge
But first make sure, nobody is looking
(mm mm, dreamy!!)

In Yorkshire, they like it savoury,
. . . not all creamy! 😎

Reminds me of a croissant type roll with a hole in the center. It looks really good.

Ha brilliant…
Not many of us eat dripping but Yorkshire pudding…mm mm yes.
140g plain flour. 4 eggs. 200 ml milk.
Mox it until smooth. A touch of oil in the bottom of 4 muffin tins and cook at 210 until the oil is almost smoking then pop in the batter and back in the oven for 25-30 minutes. Don’t open that oven before 20 minutes have gone by. Yum yum yum.

It’s probably like a stick of one thing combined with a cup of something else and then a bushel of another and half a quart of something else . Decimal dorinda decimal. It’s the future. Actually it’s the present and the past. Just you lot do it differently lol

I grew up with Yorkshire puddings. Always accompanying roast beef dinner, eaten with gravy. My mother’s family ate it for dessert with sugar. Odd tastes when you look at it from your perspective

Exactly. Different ways to eat the same little thing. It’s fascinating! 🙂
