For anyone who grew up in Britain, the Sunday roast is more than just a meal – it’s a tradition. Whether it was beef, lamb, or chicken, nothing beat gathering around the table for a hearty plate piled high with roast potatoes, veg, and, of course, a Yorkshire pudding. But do you remember when the humble Yorkie took centre stage, and someone had the genius idea to serve the whole roast inside it?
The Yorkshire pudding, once just an accompaniment, suddenly became the star of the show, doubling up as an edible bowl! Everything from succulent slices of meat to gravy-soaked veg would nestle perfectly inside the crispy, golden pudding. There was something deeply satisfying about scooping up every bite with the pillowy goodness of a Yorkie.
This twist on the traditional roast made Sunday dinner feel even more special. It was as if the Yorkshire pud had been elevated to a new status – not just a side dish, but the very foundation of the meal. And let’s be honest, it saved on washing up too!
Today, the “roast in a Yorkie” still sparks nostalgia for many of us who fondly remember those family dinners. Have you enjoyed this beloved British dish? Do you still serve your roast in a Yorkie today?
