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

No yorkshire puds with our Christmas dinner. We have them usually with beef and lamb roasts only but grandchildren love them so I do make and exception for them 😂
I usually make a batch of Yorkshire puds and freeze them and get out and re heat as needed so much easier.

Yorkshires with our dinner, always.
Whether is turkey, chicken or a vegetarian ‘this isn’t chicken’ roast.
Am from Lancashire and despite the war of the roses we always serve Yorkshires with a roast dinner, they’re delicious, so why not?

I'm with you on that Yorkshire puddings should only be with beef and we do not like to include it in a traditional Christmas dinner, but some of our family do like to include it, so we are flexible to please them, but we choose not to have it for ourselves.

So, does that mean I only get a fine, or imprisonment ?

Probably just a fine hazel93; or a suspended sentence at the most!

Chicken and Turkey- bread sauce and stuffing
Beef - horseradish sauce and Yorkshire pudding
Lamb - mint sauce
Pork - apple sauce.

I don’t like to mix them.

I wonder if there's such a thing as a Nouvelle Cuisine Christmas dinner?

Yorkshire pudding with beef in our house.

Should my lot want Yorkshires (probably will) at the last minute, it’ll be curtesy of my Aunt Bessie!!

I have been out for two Christmas lunches within the last week or so. The vegetables included Brussels sprouts and red cabbage. Why!? They are my least favourite vegetables and seem to be ubiquitous wherever I go. They won’t be on my Christmas table!

My Hampshire grandson was horrified that I did not include yorkies when it was my turn to do Christmas dinner
I have included them ever since!!!!

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."

We abide by that Act too Grunty. We also have leeks - and the mashed potato must be made, even if not eaten on the day, so that bubble and squeak is available on Boxing Day.

This official Christmas Dinner act does not apply in our area. Sprouts are compulsory here and red cabbage does not appear.

Clearly not official, as no-one official would say "comprise of". Dinner comprises the following, or Dinner consists of the following, or Dinner is composed of the following.

Yorkshire with Xmas dinner? Whyever not?!

Yorkshire puds with beef, lamb and pork but never with turkey or chicken and for the life of me, I've no idea why

I like my yorkshires the old fashioned way as a starter with proper gravy.

That's how my m.i.l. always served them sodapop and they were fabulous, never had better.

But there’s no rules re cooking Have what you fancy
Who the heck originally said NEVER have a Yorkshire with anything but beef and why or ‘Never have mint sauce with anything but lamb’ what rubbish who makes up these rules
If you like it have it with whatever meat or non meat you want

Yorkshire pudding with beef for us.
Except if guests (DGC) request it with anything else. I’ve only been asked for Yorkshire’s with fish once, but when my DGS discovered there was no gravy he said he’d rather not bother thank you.
So little bother to give so much pleasure, I really don’t mind.

Yorkshire's with any roast here . Always home made , I can't stand the frozen one's .
It's whatever you fancy .

Mixed reaction in our family our son won’t serve them on Christmas day. I will serve them on Boxing Day as our daughter insists.

Yorkshire puddings have got so enormous recently they take over the meal. Definitely not with turkey and all the other accompaniments.

And standing orders decree that any know it all comments about SPAG are strictly to be confined to Pedants Corner.
Anywhere else is Bad Form.

There's a pub nearby and the staff give you a plate with the biggest Yorkshire pudding that I've ever seen even if you aren't having beef or can't eat them.
And here's the reason -it fills up the plate so you don't take too much meat and vegetables .

Been out for a Christmas lunch. It was turkey, roast potatoes, cranberry sauce, Yorkshire pudding, sprouts, carrots and string beans. No bread sauce unfortunately and no red cabbage fortunately.

Well, if we're being pedantic about SPAG argymargy, whyever is actually 2 separate words; not one!
