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

Why not beans?, as long as they are Heinz, preferably in a ramekin, although I only have that type of breakfast in a hotel.

If my grandchildren are with us for Sunday roast dinner and we have roast chicken then I'll do Yorkshires because they always want them, although I kind of consider them as more of an accompaniment to roast beef, but others have said, why the rules!. One of my sons always insists on pigs in blankets with Christmas turkey, otherwise I wouldn't bother with those either. I don't really want Yorkshires with Christmas dinner, too much with the umpteen vegetables and stuffing, unless the grandchildren are with us on that day.....I tend to indulge their requests

Used to love beans on a fry up back when I could eat beans. And a Yorkie goes well with any roast!

Salyi I too am a Yorkshire lass! I prefer to Yorkshire pudding with beef but can eat it with any meat. As children we always had Yorkshire Pudding with gravy before having our roast beef dinner.
I can eat baked beans with a traditional English breakfast, although I prefer just cereals and toast or smoked salmon with poached egg.

Salti!

Baked beans with low sugar and salt are healthy. I like them and if we have a cooked breakfast they are always included. Slimming world recommend beans ahead of cheese on jacket potatoes.

Beans in moderation are healthier in any form they are full of protein. A lot better than the typical fry up or breakfast bars and muffins that are full of sugar.

Does it matter? People should eat what they want to eat. I eat Yorkshire pudding once a year on Christmas Day with my vegetarian roast.

Beans? Only if you like them.
Yorkshire puds? Well we eat toad-in-the-hole with pork sausages and my DGC used to ask me to make them big Yorkshire puds with meat, veg and gravy.
My childhood memory is a portion of pud served before the beef.
I only make small ones for beef, but I’d do them for other meals if asked.

As a student in Leeds living in digs we were frequently served Yorkshire pud and gravy before anything and everything. Delicious

Bean’s definitely

As children we always had Yorkshire Pudding with gravy before having our roast beef dinner.

Me too Shelflife!

Who are we to be spouting off about what other people are eating. Life's too short to be fretting about other peoples dietary habits. I eat what I want, when I want

Well I love baked beans breakfast dinner tea anytime as long as the reduced sugar ones🤪 but saying that I haven’t had a cooked breakfast for years I’m more of a porridge oats and fresh fruit person for many months. I love Yorkshire pud also especially with beef with a Sunday roast.

Beans are totally part of a full English breakfast, although I agree about the tinned tomatoes. Tomatoes should be fresh and grilled. My English breakfast favourite is eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, grilled tomato and beans. Some have mushrooms, but I hate them so avoid like the plague. Some think hash browns have no place, sauteed potatoes is a good substitute. Eat what you like - its not written in stone. And of course Yorkshire puddings should be served with any roast dinner, I love them.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Like most things it’s a Personal preference really 🥹

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

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

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!

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! 😂
