There is no flavour to them, and take up space on the plate that could mean an extra roast potato

Yorkshire puddings are the food of the gods. And there's a simple answer to space issue - get bigger plates Grin.

they are a good filler.
i am considering toad in the hole, same batter but definately better than plain sausages

Yabu.

Although for extra roasties... Nah, just pile it up.

YPs look good and add texture.

YABVU. The Yorkshire pud is way superior to the potato.

Can I have yours please?

You are clearly eating the Wrong Sort of Yorkshire Puddings.

This may be the worst thing I have ever seen on MN

If someone served me a roast with out YPs I would literally cry with sorrow and confusion

And never speak to them again

More for me then!

DH makes amazing gluten free ones (he's a coeliac)

...smothered in gravy, maybe a bit of cranberry sauce or something...

A recent favourite meal has been a homemade toad in the hole but with bacon instead of sausage (frog in the hole? Newt in the hole?!)

Hungry now. And I don't think we have enough eggs left to make yorkies tonight :(

So YABU on two counts - one for being totally and utterly WRONG, two for making me hungry! :o

I couldn't believe all the hooha at Xmas on here about the fact that yorkies are not a traditional part of Xmas dinner. Sod tradition I say!

At a pub last year I had a giant Yorkshire pudding wrap filled with roast pork and stuffing, with apple sauce for dipping.

Well I really like them too. But I suppose when you think about it they are a bit tasteless.
