I've never understood this or been given a valid reason for leaving them off, it seems barmy to me. Each to their own and all that but why wouldn't anyone have them on there if they eat them on normal Sunday roasts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 Made triumphant Yorkshire puddings last year, destroying my Mam’s feeble record of using frozen ones. Merry fucking Christmas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 The question isn't "why shouldn't you have Yorkshire puddings in a Christmas Dinner" BUT "why tf DON'T you have pigs in blankets in every Sunday dinner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 As someone whose Sunday dinners as a kid consisted of mashed potato and 12 Yorkshire's you'd be kicked straight out of my house for saying no Yorkshire's on a Christmas dinner. The only thing better than Yorkshire puddings is Yorkshire puddings with onion thrown in the mix. Trust me you'll thank me for it later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 Non-negotiables for an English Christmas dinner are: Turkey with stuffing (sage and onion preferably), gravy, cranberry sauce, roasties, Brussels sprouts and at least 1 other type of roast vegetable (carrots, parsnips etc.) Once you have that core, you can add whatever sides and additional meats and it’s still a Christmas dinner imo.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 Personally think mash is going to fill you unnecessarily for such a low-pleasure food. Not worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 (edited) Low-pleasure? You’ve obviously never had a really good buttery mash. I’ll put you on to some life-changing mashed potato; use a potato ricer, infuse some cream with rosemary, garlic and thyme and add that to your potatoes with an ungodly amount of butter, then add salt and white pepper. Heavenly stuff. Edited November 20 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 Mixing the peas into the mash is the god tier move. Dice some chicken breast dead small and fry it and hoy that in too works a treat. Cheese the whole thing up, chuck it in a giant yorkie and you're laughing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
