Most readers will be aware that "Yorkshire Pudding" is not just the pseudonym of a grumpy old blogger with high blood pressure but it is also the name of a simple savoury "pudding" that traditionally accompanies Sunday roasts.
If I was so inclined I could devote this blog entirely to those golden puddings but that would surely become rather tiresome.
However, today I stumbled across a news item all about crazy pub landlord James Paley from Southend-on-Sea who for a few years has put his sons in Yorkshire pudding costumes for Halloween. He makes the costumes with actual Yorkshire puddings that he bakes himself before fashioning the mad outfits.
This year, with one of his sons, he even made one of our morning TV shows:-
P.S. Sorry I could not reduce the size of the TikTok video at the top.
wow!
ReplyDeleteum
I'm speechless!
I hope the young pudding momnsters have a fun night
Personally, I will not be dressing up for Halloween.
DeleteAt first I thought that top video was about a rather large penis, glad it wasn't. That would have taken this blog in a whole new direction obviously. Can't say I'm a fan of the costumes and my mum would have had a fit at the waste, me too maybe:)
ReplyDeleteIf The Big Guy's penis looks like that, advise him to see a doctor very soon!
DeleteWow! That is some costume ... though I don't know if I'd get 'Yorkshire Pudding' right away!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you need your eyes testing Bob.
Deletethat's a great sin to use the puddings for costumes. My wife loves Yorkshire pudding. They don't know how to make it here. Even I think it's bad.
ReplyDeleteThey do raise money for an air ambulance charity.
DeleteLove the costumes! At first I thought they'd be edible, then heard about the glue and lacquer and stuff holding them together. One day I'll have another try at making yorkshire puddings.
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of videos online Elsie!
DeleteThey have very telling accents.
ReplyDeleteThe father sounds as though he might be from Yorkshire.
DeleteThat Yorkshire man must have ate jellied eels and it's changed his accent. Great fun post.
ReplyDeleteGlad I gave you a giggle Dave!
DeleteYuk.
ReplyDeleteDon't be sick on your keyboard JayCee!
DeleteHmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteHow does the song go Graham?
DeleteI wish I knew.
DeleteOh yes, I know that one.
DeleteThanks for giving me a smile this morning. I loved watching the video, especially of the kid. What a mess though!
ReplyDeleteVote for Yorkshire Pudding!
DeleteThat is a lot of YP
ReplyDeleteAs a pub landlord, he had access to a big oven.
DeleteWell, that little pudding guy is adorable.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've never had a Yorkshire pudding and at this moment I'm fairly certain I never will.
Your last sentence can be interpreted in two different ways!
DeleteAll I can think about is how many dogs parade behind the yorkshire pudding guys.
ReplyDeleteLike pied pipers they are.
DeleteKind of horrifying, but I guess it IS for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteYes anything goes at Halloween. I might dress up as Donald Trump to scare even the cats and the dogs of the people that live here.
DeleteI hope they raise lots of money. They deserve to. (I don't like Yorkshire pudding . . . 😶)
ReplyDeleteWhy? What have I done to annoy you?
DeleteYorkshire pudding doesn't look like a pudding at all. More like a bread or pancake. Right? Do you fill it with something like a beef stew? Or do break off pieces and dip it in gravy? I don't understand why it is called a pudding as it isn't a dessert.
ReplyDeleteLike most people, we only eat them as "sides" on our Sunday roast dinner platters. They need gravy accompaniment. The use of the term "pudding" is indeed a little odd Ellen - but I don't know what we would otherwise call them.
DeletePossibly the texture resembles a steamed pudding ?
