o/t British outrage at Yorkshire puddings v Dutch babies

[HarryofOz]

The story has made the Guardian outline

Outrage.

So was it EB's 'Debate' thread from the other day that awakened the storm?

Yorkshire pud, rare roast Beef, a dozen crispy roast spuds and swimming in rich thick gravy.

Mrs 64 cooks the best roast potatoes, fluffy in the middle & crispy on the outside

Very few restaurants cook them right & carvery's fail every time

As a kid growing up my mum always made a few extra Yorkshires for afters. Lovely with golden syrup on them mmmmmmm

Our failure to serve a proper Yorkshire pudding with roast beef is one of the reasons why I'm pretty certain we Americans are philistines.

On the other hand.............

While roasted potatoes are wonderful*, nothing tops my buttermilk mashed potatoes, and we do not ruin the flavor of a beautiful rare prime rib of beef by covering it in gravy.

* I would, however, love to try Mrs64's.

Yorkshire puddings are well over rated...bit of an after thought

I've never cooked a dutch baby....would you eat them rare or well done ?

WC Fields was asked once if he liked kids. "Depends on how they're cooked," he replied.
