Yorkshire Pudding

Many shapes and sizes, but in Yorkshire never a pudding

There are many family recipes for this popular local dish, as Yorkshire people will be keen to show you.

Not a pudding in the normal sense, it's customarily eaten with roast beef.

Around these parts, however, it's often a first course, before the meat course. It's claimed to help fill you up and cut down the amount of expensive meat you'll then want. (Outsiders see this practice as another sign of Yorkshire over-frugality.)

Worthy old Yorkshire pudding became an unlikely internet sensation after a local business invented the Yorkshire pudding wrap as street food. If you want to try this complete meal on the hoof, make your way to the York Roast Co in Low Petergate.

TIP Check out pubs, such as those below, who often serve large Yorkshire Puddings like a bowl, filled with onion gravy and (often) sausages.
