Not that I’m admitting this is a degenerate meal, but it seems to be looked down on by everyone I know and haven’t convinced to try it yet.
- Basic plain pasta shells, cooked normally
- Drain water
- Add like half a block at least of chopped-up basic cheddar and stir it while it melts
- Stuff into six (this is the appropriate amount, trust me) Yorkshires
- Throw the pan away due to burnt cheese
Easy peasy, lemon…cheezy? I await your judgement.

From the other side of the pond, am I getting this right? “Yorkshire Pudding” is what we’d call a “bread bowl”, and there are some traditions about what is proper to put into the bowl? (Why would it not be any soup or dip?)
It’s not really a bread bowl, the closest thing over here is something called a popover. I usually make giant yorkshires though, with an entire roast dinner and gravy inside them.
No! No no no no no. Yorkshire puddings are their own thing, not bread at all. They’re made of eggs, flour and milk, basically the same stuff as what we would call a pancake and you might call a “crepe” except sort of puffed up in the shape of…well…a Yorkshire pudding.
All that said, I have totally used them to scoop up soup although this is definitely not their intended purpose.
I’m fairly certain your the reason why the Americans take the piss out of us. my eyes are burning and you’ve just depleted my last two brain cells and made me more comotose than I already am! teahands if barry 63 he’ll end up deporting you to rewanda
I’m no food prude - I’ve even tried putting cheese in porridge out of curiosity, but seeing one savory flour product added to another makes me feel so unwell.
What’s next? Noodle pies? Pancake sandwiches? Bao-filled gyoza? 🤢
My wife makes Yorkie Puds with Sunday dinner because she’s a good wifey. I do the washing up, wait for everyone to leave the dining room, then pour golden syrup in the left over puddings and nomnomnom.
Apparently it was something they did back int day anyway so it’s not really that degenerate, just old people food.
Also FYI Yorkshire Puddings were meant to be an entrée to a full Sunday Dinner. Times were hard so you’d eat these to fill up a bit because there was fuck all int main course.
When I was growing up, I was given them with jam as a starter.
Although we still had them with the Sunday dinner too. Filled with gravy was my favourite way, which we called a “paddling pool” because our puddings were fairly wide and flat with a raised edge. Must have been the shape of the pan we had.
I don’t understand. What does “left over” mean in this context? I normally understand it to mean that you didn’t eat them all but that can’t be right.
A truly English meal. So bad I wouldn’t even dare to cook it if I was starving and this was the only stuff left in the house. Even though that would be the only situation where “cooking” something like this would ever be appropriate
