Turkey and a Yorkshire? It’s a big fat NO from me.

Oh I forgot the pigs in blankets!

We don’t do Christmas dinner but my OH would have Yorkshire pudding with everything if he was allowed

I had turkey with a Yorkshire in a pub last Sunday. Bluddy delicious! Too much faffing at home on ‘the day’ (there’s always enough to do!) but nice when out. I’m a convert. 😁

There would be an outcry if I forgot the Yorkshire puddings!

No, never.

If it’s got gravy my son wants a Yorkshire I don’t have a problem with it or in fact anything they want to put on their plates…as long as they eat it.Nothing annoys me like seeing folk pileplates high and then leave half of it untouched

It's against the law not to have Yorkshire pudding with your Christmas dinner isn't it? Ditto cauliflower cheese and red cabbage with apple? And peas have no place on a Christmas dinner platter; they're only to be served either mushy with fish and chips or freshly podded in the summer months. This is another law.

I quite agree Sago, yorkshire pudding has no place on a Christmas dinner.
In our house it's reserved for roast beef, and occasionally with a stew.
There's quite enough on a Christmas plate without yorkshires.

Yes unfortunately, I will be doing them, because the grandchildren insist on them. This year they're coming for Boxing Day which is when we will be having the turkey, probably a crown. We're possibly having boneless leg of lamb on Christmas Day, and maybe we'll have them with that. I'll make them in advance. I am of the opinion that Yorkshires go with beef traditionally, but there you are sometimes, as in life, we have to be flexible

Yorkshire's with everything in our house, even sausage 😊

Well, as we’re having beef this year, there will be Yorkshires too 😁.
I tend not to do a roast dinner very often, but when I do, if we fancy Yorkshire pudding, I make it, whatever the meat. There’s no hard and fast rule about it. Just do as you prefer.

Article 2, section 4, paragraph 1 of the Official Christmas Dinner Act 1994 states:

"All Christmas dinners must comprise of the following: roast turkey, roast potatoes, honey roast parsnips and carrots, pigs in blankets, red cabbage with apple, cauliflower au gratin, cranberry stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, cranberry sauce and gravy. Mashed potatoes are an optional extra."

Hi, is Yorkshire pudding with Christmas dinner an English tradition? I've never had Yorkshire's with a Christmas dinner. My late dad ( who was English) never, ever had Yorkshire pudding with his Christmas dinner either. I'm just wondering where it comes from? We only had Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding or Toad in the Hole.

Brilliant!

My grandchildren love Yorkshires and I’ll have some for their festive dinner . I won’t faff about making my own . I take the easy route on a busy day and buy a pack from Tesco fresh food counter. 2 mins in the air fryer when it’s time to serve up.

It's against the law in this house too. Yorkshire are for beef only. I am ashamed to say that my children have kicked over the traces though and have them with every roast.

Yorkshires with turkey and all the trimmings? No. Just no.
Plenty of time to have them with roast beef or lamb another time. Apart from anything else there's no room on the plates!

I ever only made Yorkshire with beef, but if I am eating at my son’s house I will happily eat them with any meat. He makes huge ones. He is a much better cook than I am.

This Yorkshire woman has had two Christmas dinners already this year. Both had a lofty Yorkshire pudding dominating the rest of the ample contents of the plate. Tackling it was a challenge I wasn’t prepared to face so I asked on both occasions that it be removed. I love Yorkshire pudding (naturally) but not with Christmas dinner. Any other roast dinner, bring it on!

Fortunately as we live in a free country we can eat what we like as long as we can afford it.

We are having turkey and beef to cater for everyone and yes they can have Yorkshires even if they don't have the beef. Can't see the problem if you like it have it.

You see it so often in carveries, criminal what goes in waste.

And I lightheartedly think we can eat what we like.
