Do You Have Yorkshire’s On Your Christmas Dinner?

[Bobbisox1]

We do here ,with mash and roasties too

Tiggs a dinner inside a giant Yorkshire pudding is yummy

We’re having Yorkshire puds this year for the first time because we’re having rib of beef..for the first time, instead of turkey.
The yorkies and the roasties (in goose fat) are courtesy of good old aunt Bessie.
When we were in Scotland recently we had a lovely roast dinner in a giant Yorkshire, in a pub.
I’ve made celeriac mash once or twice, with Christmas dinner, but have never made mash, I doubt we’d have room for it.
Yesterday I made spicy red cabbage with a jar of cranberry sauce (a Waitrose recipe) instead of fresh cranberries, it was very successful after a bit of tweaking, and is now nestled with the potato dauphinois in the freezer.

I don’t know Kevin Bridges.

[Bobbisox1]

Sounds lovely Vagus

He’s good but effs all the time Naomi apart from not understanding him anyway

[naomi24]

If he’s a stand up comedian that’ll be why I don’t know him. I don’t watch them.

[tiggerblue10]

He's a comedian, Naomi. I don't know if it's just me but I never found Billy Connolly funny.

[naomi24]

Nor me, tigger.

[Bobbisox1]

We stumbled upon him one Christmas in Lanzarote when we came back ( CE) and stuck the TV on

[Bobbisox1]

I like BC ,he draws on real life happenings

[naomi24]

I went off comedians when they started getting political and I never liked swearing. My idea of a comedian is Les Dawson. Just wonderfully daft!

[rowanwitch]

Not usually, but if we had beef I would

[Bobbisox1]

Now you’re talking , I adore the old style comedian( s) like Les Dawson , Morecambe and Wise , couldn’t stand Benny Hill though

[Bobbisox1]

Rowan we’ve wondered around from YPs to comedy but what the hell, it’s Christmas after all

[naomi24]

No matter how often I see repeats of Eric & Ernie I still laugh.

[naomi24]

Yes, Yorkshire pudding. How on earth does anyone eat one of those big ones filled with other food? That’s some feat!!

[Bobbisox1]

Me too , the classic has to be when they did breakfast to The Stripper ,also the guests like Shirley Bassey and Andre Previn who scrambled to be on their Christmas specials

[naomi24]

Andre Previn is my favourite. Eric played all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order. Superb! I’m laughing as I’m typing here. I think my husband thinks I’ve flipped!! Haaaaa!

[Bobbisox1]

And Shirley with a big boot on with here beautiful gown , so funny

[tiggerblue10]

Andrew Preview is one of my favourite comedy sketches.

All those famous people queuing to be on the show - and all good sports.
