Should beans be part of an English fry up? Should Yorkshire puddings be served with any roast?

I'm a Yorkshire lass and love Yorkshire pudding. We have it with any roast or stew/casserole etc. I think the frozen ones are rubbish however. This is a proper one!

that's amazing

I cooked a breakfast this morning and we had sausage, bacon, fried egg (though ds had scrambled), hash browns, sautéed mushrooms, grilled tomato and baked beans (sorry ) it was lush

Yorkshires with anything. Love toad in the hole too

Egg batter Popovers are the American equivalent to Yorkshire Pudding. I just read up on it. Popovers are made in a special very deep cup muffin styled baking pan. Of course you can make the batter in a single baking dish but then we call it a Soufflé.

I don't do the full English breakfast any more mainly due to cutting back on the calories so no more bacon or fat sausages even fried eggs. I used to eat all that and yes it was nice. Some weekends when I want something filling I will do some beans with mushrooms and grilled tomatoes plus toast and a dash of ketchup. Lovely sets me up for the day. Yorkshire pudding goes down well in my house and my son insists on my home made although if he is not home I will do one of the shop frozen variety ones. Yorkshires can go with any roast dinner for me and TBH I have gone off roast beef a bit anyway. I am getting hungry now and thinking about what to have for tomorrows Sunday lunch,

My Nan used to make us Yorkshire Pudding with homemade Raspberry Vinegar. Delicious.

Normally only have cooked breakfast when out shopping or hotel - and have beans AND tomatoes with breakfast. Why else have fried bread then to soak up the juices.

Yorkshire Pudding with all roasts AND mint sauce in the YPs with gravy.

Scottish fry up lassie here, definitely beans for me and Yorkshire pudding with roast beef xxxx

I eat anything I feel like for breakfast - often times leftovers from dinner the night before: lasagna, a stir fry, pot roast w/potatoes, cold pizza, Chinese food… anything goes. It sets me up for the day.

But there is nothing like a good proper breakfast when I go out or have time at home - eggs, bacon/sausage, hash brown potatoes, fruit, throw in a pancake, waffle or toast. It’s a big deal for big occasions.

Could eat beans any time of day. Never had a Yorkshire pudding - will have to look it up. Never had one when I was in England, London either. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I must have missed out.

I don't do baked beans in a breakfast fry-up but have you ever tried tomato fried bread made with the juice from tinned tomatoes? It's yummy!
As for Yorkshire pudding - only with beef or with sausages in a home made toad-in-the-hole.

missdeke- spot on. Me too.

No right or wrong in my book! Have what you want and with anything...no rules..just enjoy!

Baked beans and tinned tomatoes are sacrilege on a full English breakfast. Yorkshire pudding belongs with roast beef, but I will eat them if put in front of me with any other dinner. But if I was served a full English with beans on the plate the whole lot would go back until they got it right.

I hate beans so agree totally, but my son starting asking for Yorkshire pudding every Sunday after taking up Rugby aged 6. The rugby didn't last, but the Yorkshires' did.

One of his Uncles persuaded him that David Cameron was intending to prevent them being cooked outside Yorkshire, and he wrote to No 10 to complain. He got a lovely reply too ;)

Well I've had a roast dinner in a Yorkshire pudding wrap and it was blooming delicious.
And as for beans it really doesn't bother me whether I have them or not. @SallyatBaytree totally agree with you.

What a middle-class problem in our (reasonably )wealthy society!!! How many people in the world would eat anything with anything just to stay alive.
Aren't we lucky to have the choice ??

No beans with breakfast and Yorkshire with beef only. Had it served with roast chicken, yuck!
Think restaurants started serving Yorkshire Pudding with anything with the word roast on the menu to make you feel full whilst cutting down on portion size of the main items.

Definitely beans with a full English, and mushrooms too.
I’m not keen on beef, but I do like Yorkshire puds and anything else made with batter! 😂

My gran used to make a dessert of Yorkshire pudding with rhubarb. She called it Rhubarb Drop. Anyone else remember that?

My grandmother would have Yorkshire pudding served with gravy before the main meal and my grandmother would have Yorkshire pudding with jam as a dessert. They both swore down that their way was the “proper” way to eat it!

Yes beans and halved fried tomatoes on full English breakfast
Yorkshire pudding with all roast dinners except baked gamon

Well, I am obviously against the grain. Bean and tinned tomatoes with pepper for breakfast and Yorkshire pudding with any roast

Like most things it’s a Personal preference really 🥹

Definitely no beans for breakfast, plain bacon and egg for me. I alternate Yorkshire puddings with potatoes. Especially for Mondays when I am using up left over casserole or roast to give a meal a bit of variety.

When my sister does a fry up it’s eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, baked beans and tinned tomatoes.
For me, Yorkshire puddings go with beef and lamb but I don’t fancy it with chicken and pork. Sometimes, when I’m doing lamb, I add grated onion and sprinkle a little suet on top of the puds before they go in the oven.
I like baked beans on toast with a fried egg on top for breakfast.

I love cold baked beans with a cooked breakfast. Growing up, my mum only served Yorkshire puddings with beef but mother in law served with any roast and I’ve done the same for over 40 years.

-Beans on brekky yes
-Yorkshire puds and stuffing with any meat and all condiments too, and thick gravy too

Oh I forgot to add that a portion of beans is one of your 5 a day, admittedly the low sugar ones are healthier but I don't eat baked beans often so I go all out and have the "full fat" ones
