A question about : Yorkshire puds on a Xmas dinner

I love Yorkshires, but we NEVER have them as part of our Christmas dinner.

Do you?

Best answers:

  • Absolutely... and mint sauce!
  • Hell yeah!! Turkey, yorkshire puds, stuffing and cranberry sauce is the (weirdest) most amazing combination
  • Absolutley NOT!
    But we do have a lovely bit of crackling with the turkey
    It stems from the days when my Grandad was alive. He loved roast leg of pork so we always had one as well as the turkey on Christmas day. He's been gone a long time now, but we still have the crackling - turkey just doesn't taste the same without it!
  • Have whatever you want - your dinner.
    There are no rules.
    Edited to add - although my OH seems to think there are and we have to have all the traditional shoite.
    What a waste of food.
    I shall have some soup and a slice or two of ham.
    No veg as they will all be roasted and I hate that.
  • You can't possibly have any kind of roast without yorkies
    But then I have mint sauce even when I have chicken so im a little strange lol
  • Yes, I live in Yorkshire. It's usual to have Yorkshire Puddings with any roast. It's as strange to me to think they only belong to roast beef as it would be if someone told me you should only serve carrots with roast pork (for example).
  • We do if we can manage to find any room in the oven for them.
  • I'm from Yorkshire too and we don't have Yorkshire puds with our Christmas meal but we do them as a starter for my 2 boys because they don't like the usual starters that you have. I also would have Yorkshire puds with any meat, even chicken but at Christmas we don't have them with our main meal, a couple of puds fill my two teenage boys up.
    Anyone else have crisps on there Christmas lunch? My family never had them but o/h family do and now it wouldn't be a Christmas lunch without them, even the boys ask for them.

  • Crisps? Like normal ready salted type crisps? Nope.
    But we do have Yorkshires, there would be lots of unhappy faces here if we didn't :-)
  • Spendless I really don't have any idea why she puts them onto her Christmas dinner, as I said my side of the family never did it but MIL does and no she isn't called Margaret but she did work in a hospital canteen so maybe its that lol. To be honest they are nice its a nice salty crunch on your plate lol

  • It's not Xmas without the Yorkies! Fact.
    Doesn't matter what meat you're having, or even a nut roast, Yorkshires (plenty of them), are compulsory. It's the law.
  • It's against the Law not to have them isn't it? Any spare ones I have with Jam as pudding.
  • We will be having Yorkshire Puds on our Christmas Dinner. But its traditional to have them with Roast Beef anyway.
