Whitebait is a great favourite of mine. Hubby eats fish every day for lunch, so there's always plenty in the fridge. Sardines, Mackerel and Herrings mostly I'm hooked on sweet pickled herrings and love tuna.
Awwwh my Reggie! Choux, he is a little grey now
Pork scratchings...? Yes! Yum!
I've just seen this question.

I most definitely don't have Yorkshire pud on my Christmas lunch. I have it under it and around it ;-)

That's because I buy these
https://groceries.asda.com/product/yorkshire-puddings/asda-giant-yorkshire-pudding/1283761
They're surprisingly good for a supermarket own-brand frozen product and cook to perfection. I simply fill one of them with something like this
https://www.cookfood.net/products/Rump-Beef-brandy/
and that's my meal done! (I might add some sprouts or other veg, and possibly some roasties too, but I often don't bother).

That beef in brandy dish is definitely my favourite for Christmas lunch. (I've had it for several years running now). However it was out of stock when I tried a local 'Cook' outlet so, unless I can find it elsewhere during the week, I might have to settle for one of the other Cook meals that I've already added to my freezer, such as
https://www.cookfood.net/products/Beef-bourguignon/
or
https://www.cookfood.net/products/coq-au-vin/

(I love 'Cook' stuff but I can't afford it very often. I always stock up with it at Christmastime though!)
I always thought that Yorkshire pudding was a dessert concocted by people with a funny accent.
^^^ Yorkshire pudding can be a starter, an accompaniment to a main course or a dessert, Sanmac.

In most of the UK, it's served alongside a main course (often, but not necessarily, including a roast meat). However in some parts of Yorkshire it's served as a starter, simply with a thick rich onion gravy. In some parts of Scotland though, it's served as a dessert, with custard!

Half a century ago, in my college days, I had a mate who lived midway between Huddersfield and Halifax, in the heart of Yorkshire. When his family had Yorkshire pudding, his father ate his as a starter, my mate ate his with his main course and his Glaswegian mother had hers with custard afterwards!

In proper, old-fashioned Yorkshire pubs (such as many around Rotherham), the landlady cooks a massive Yorkshire pudding each Sunday lunchtime, which is passed around the bar so that customers can rip large pieces off with their hands (totally ignoring any hygiene considerations!) and dunk them in the big bowl of gravy that's passed around at the same time. It goes superbly with a pint of Yorkshire ale ;-)
parky means cold down here Bobbi.
No Yorkshires or mash for me.
Yes. We have them with all traditional roasts whatever the meat. No mash though.
I've never, ever had yorkshire pud with Christmas Dinner whoever has cooked it or wherever I've eaten it ! I wouldn't mind though as I love yorkshire pud.

Some are difficult to understand where you are but not too bad. I understand Ant and Dec. :o)
The Scots in full flow Glaswegian are impossible.
We alway have Yorkshires with our Christmas dinner. Love'em.

We often have giant ones and fill them with sausages and gravy.
Question Author
