The name Yorkshire pudding is quite misleading. During my first time ordering Roast Beef and Yorkshire pudding, I kept waiting for the pudding after main course. I thought it was something nice and sweet like bread pudding that you eat as a desert. Imagine my disappointment when I was told I had already eaten it. I read it is not easy to make a good Yorkshire pudding so you did real well!!kestrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324874202422690542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-79294281230317148672021-08-03T18:34:50.951+01:002021-08-03T18:34:50.951+01:00Yes, we had the same.

The idea behind it was that if you filled yourself up with Yorkshire Pudding, the more expensive meat would stretch out that much further. Monday was always wash-day (a whole day affair), so leftover meat was eaten as cold cuts with cold Yorkshire puddings, but I was allowed my cold Yorkshire Pudding spread with jam. We differed from you in that we had 'Dinner' - meals went Breakfast, Dinner, Tea and Supper. I never heard of the 'lunch' phenomenon until well into my twenties.http://stanforthsharpe.ukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04458837887136600727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-6717204678101209932021-08-03T15:55:25.646+01:002021-08-03T15:55:25.646+01:00It learks like thoo 'ad a reet grand do, lad, ...It learks like thoo 'ad a reet grand do, lad, and that there bairn sounds a reet bobby dazzler.

I live in Yorkshire but the delineation happens underneath the town hall I think and of course because of the River Calder. The lovely thing about British History and its towns and villages is that it carries the names of Saxon and Scandinavian people. <br />YP not all Southern people are tories as well you know, stop being so nationalistic and warlike or we shall infiltrate by stealth and take over this county. Cro is not coming over though because we are apparently hit by a case of 'wokeism' in Leeds and Parkin is suspect, he forgot Yorkshire Tea with colonist sugar in it by the way.<br />Don't you just delight in life and Phoebe? ;)thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-77291171441435741282021-08-03T00:23:46.075+01:002021-08-03T00:23:46.075+01:00It sounds like a version of Thanksgiving Day.

Did you fight over portion size or "bags" leftovers as my brothers used to?<br />In the days when we ritually fasted before Sunday Mass it was always a thrill to return home to the aroma of the slow cooked roast meal waiting for us with just the gravy to prepare. No Sunday shopping in those days, it was a day for families and visiting relatives.<br />A roast sounds very appealing today as the blast from Antarctica reminds us that August is still a winter month and there's a huge pumpkin on the bench to make into soup. I'm off for my first Covid vaccination tonight at 8.21pm precisely. Hopefully most of this small country will be fully vaccinated by the end of September as our luck can't last forever. <br />Forgot to say yesterday how much I enjoyed Brian Blessed in that video.
