Do You Have Yorkshire’s On Your Christmas Dinner?

[Bobbisox1]

We do here ,with mash and roasties too

[Thisoldbird]

A roast of any sort requires Yorkshire Pudding for me. It completes the meal I think.

[Mamyalynne]

Yorkies, often but no mash unless it's carrot.

[diddlydo]

Absolutely not.

[Bobbisox1]

I do baby carrots but still do mash

[pat2604]

We always did because we used to have a huge joint of rib on the bone at Christmas and cook the Yorkshire round the joint. Now there's only two of us we have sirloin steak with mushroom, cream, garlic and brandy sauce. Yorkshire pudding wouldn't work well. I haven't made Yorkshire pudding for years.

You have some Irish in you, Bobbi. I never cease to be amazed when I am in Ireland that roast/boiled/mashed potatoes are offered on menus. My best friend always avails herself of at least 2!!!

Can I get horseradish sauce to accompany roast beef? Not blooming likely ;)

I only have yorkies with roast beef. You must forgive my up-bringing ;)

[Bobbisox1]

Choux I thought it was maybe a north south divide :0)

[pat2604]

I've never made yorkshire pudding with other roasts, or had mashed potatoes and roasties, but years ago most people did and bread sauce as well. And at my grandparents there was always turkey, pork and gammon!

[jourdain2]

Not this year, doing Beef Stroganoff.

Otherwise, a resounding yes.

[pat2604]

And I'm a Londoner.

[pastafreak]

I doubt very much that my Christmas dinner will be a roast. I'd not have mash with a roast though.

[choux]

Bobbi, from the Midlands down, I would say.

Enjoy what you like, none has the right to stop you or say you are wrong. I merely post my preference :)

Yorkshires & roasties

[pat2604]

Yes Choux, we should eat what right for us. For me yorkshire needs beef gravy. And to be honest, beef is the only meat I really like. In fact it stops me being a vegetarian!!

[Bobbisox1]

Yorkshire’s (my own of course) creamy mash, roasties dipped in semolina before roasting, baby carrots, Brussels sprouts , pigs in blankets ( yuk)stuffing balls ( still yuk ) slices of tender Turkey and a slice of roast beef too , cranberry or horse radish

[ichkeria]

I absolutely hate beef: the dreariest meat there is IMO
Although with enough horse radish sauce or mustard it may just be palatable

[choux]

Made all my cranberry sauce yesterday, today I put some in kilner jars for presents and the rest is bagged up in the freezer. That will see me through the next 12 months until I can get more fresh fruit. I am a happy bunny :)

[Bobbisox1]

Oh and I make the gravy from the cooked beef stock, much tastier

[pastafreak]

Oh dear...looks like we don't agree Lottie. Much as I like the *look* of some rare beef, or sometimes a tender stew...beef pretty much leaves me cold. I can remember being left at the dining table as a child with cold congealed meat staring at me.

Anything porky and I'm a happy bunny.

Semolina roasted potatoes!!! Never had that. I cover my roasties in mixed herbs and garlic.
