Yorkshire pudding or no Yorkshire pudding?

Last Christmas my DS's delightful girlfriend (now fiancee) joined us all for Christmas dinner. In the weeks before Christmas Day we chatted about Christmas food and traditions and it transpired that her family always has Yorkshire puddings with Christmas dinner. Much joking and teasing followed . I was "horrified" that something that should only be served alongside roast beef or as a cosy bed for sausages should find it's way to Christmas dinner. Obviously, in the name of family love and harmony, I provided Yorkshire puds. (Strictly Aunt Bessies frozen, 4 minutes , straight out of freezer). But I wondered, do you all do YPs? Is it regional? Girlfriend is southern. We are northern.or are we just behind the times.

Well I found a new way of serving Yorkshires with the Christmas dinner this year that solved the problem of no space on the plate.

I left them in the oven by mistake, so they were served up just as we finished everything else. smile
