didn't think yorkshire puddings were even meant to be part of a xmas dinner?
i know, i only eat raw oysters, bouillon, am roasted swan and trimmings to stick to tradition.Yorkshire puddings are an essential part of any roast dinner.
As a Yorkshireperson, I had my fair share of Yorkshire puddings, ranging from the stomach-filling starter versions to beautifully risen Michelin starred creations. I can honestly say that Aunt Bessie's are......the best by far. Nom nom.

Especially as you can cook them in huge numbers. It's not unknown for me to put in 3 packs for a sunday lunch, that's 36 lovely little pudding packages, for 5 of us to share / fight over.As a Yorkshireperson, I had my fair share of Yorkshire puddings, ranging from the stomach-filling starter versions to beautifully risen Michelin starred creations.

This year will be just two packs, but 22 in each. So that's gonna be 44 of the little blighters to get through!

I love Yorkshire Puddings! A roast without them just isn't the same, but I've only ever tried an Aunt Bessie one once, at my father in law's. It was dry, flavourless and absolutely pointless. I've never tried one since the day I left half of that one on the side of my plate. If they were the only option available, then despite (or perhaps because of) my love for them, I would've eaten my last one ever.
I can't now decide whether this results from you two being utterly devoid of all taste and decency, or if my FIL has proven that it is actually possible to screw up cooking an Aunt Bessie?

Don't leave them in too long, it says 4 minutes on the pack, don't let them get to 5 minutes, it dries them out a bit. 6 minutes and they're needing a short soak in the gravy or bread sauce on your plate.I love Yorkshire Puddings!

Bet thing is to fill each one with your favoured gravy/bread sauce/vegatable/meat mix, and then pop the whole ensemble into your gob at once.
considering how easy yorkies are to make, i find it weird that anyone would gladly go for packet processed ste. The idea that someone might construct an entire Xmas dinner from various items of freezer section boxed factory-prepared chemical foods is both saddening and shocking. Just how little must you give a fk about your food and family, to take the one opportunity for a decent home-cooked meal and shaft it right in the arse with 50p pre-prepared warm-up components? I'd honest rather book a table at a harvester on Xmas day than eat that pish.
