Rose & Crown: a side of yorkshire pudding?

[minniebride]

Can you get a side of yorkshire pudding at the Rose & Crown? I'd like to try the lunch salad, but I really want to try yorkshire pudding because it sounds so "british"

Not sure it is something that would go with a salad. It is usually served with roast beef and gravy. Trust me, if you don't ever have it, you haven't missed anything. It wouldn't be very good on it's own.

Yorkshire Pudding = British Cuisine
British Cuisine = Oxymoron



NOTE:
Brits may not be famous for cuisine.
But, they gave the world Afternoon Tea!
Truly makes up for cuisine.

They are just like popovers, doughy bread. I don't see why you couldn't ask your server if they would sell Yorkshire pudding to go with the salad. They might look at you funny, because it's traditionally a "meat and potatoes" side, but I'd think they would accommodate you if they had any freshly baked.

This is a Yorkshire pudding. It's kind of a cross between a popover and a biscuit (American terminology- in Britain a biscuit is more like a cookie). I believe they are generally served with gravy or jus, which is why they accompany meat most of the time. Not sure how they would go with a salad. They don't taste like much.

I love Yorkshire pudding but as others have stated without the meat juices and or gravy to sop up it would be rather plain.

Yorkshire puddings are out of this world. My grandmother was from England and I miss her yorkshires. No matter how many times I try I can never make them as well as her. Even though mine aren't as good as her my family fights over who will get the last one. As for us some like gravy on it, some plane and some with a bit of butter.

Thanks for the great idea we will have to go sample them and see if they are as good as my Nana's.

The ones i've seen in dining reviews at the rose and crown look awful.

Like cheap frozen ones - yuk.

A real yorkshire pudding should be crispy on the outside but soft inside - and need to be served with gravy.

That's what i'm making for sunday lunch tomorrow - roast beef and gravy with homemade yorkshire pud (i'm in the north of England)

Never heard of a yorkshire pudding described as 'doughy bread' LOL

They are made from a batter similar to pancake batter (crepe style not US style pancakes). They are then baked in the oven in a little very hot oil or fat.

Usually they are served with a roast dinner with gravy, although I also enjoy them as a dessert with butter and sugar

Well, I made a bad choice of adjectives. I like them, but I do need to sop them up in gravy to enjoy them properly. As TDC Nala said, they don't taste like much otherwise.

Hi I'm in the UK too. Yorkshires don't go with salad (traditionally!), but hey you're on your vacation (holiday as we Brits say) so have what you want!!

There are parts of the UK (like Yorkshire I believe) that serve them with golden syrup - a sweet sauce, as a kind of dessert. Personally I prefer them smothered in proper beefy gravy! Yum!

Another Brit who loves her Yorkshire Puds, my Mum makes fantastic ones! As others have said, they're much better served with a Sunday roast, and then gravy to cover them. I expect the ones in Epcot don't compare at all though, if they're anything like the 'fish and chips' they claim to serve

Thank you! I decided to order a side of "bubble and squeak" instead. Just looking to try something British & traditional!!

In the UK, a traditional side dish is usually chips (that's fries to you, not the things we call crisps!)

Seriously though, if you want to cook British food at home try Delia Smith's recipes...she's our Martha Stewart (well kind of!)

tried Yorkshire pudding on my last visit for the first time and i loved it! i'm pretty sure the Rose & Crown make theirs fresh, at least they tasted that way! i do remember it being a little crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and when that hot, brown gravy hit it, it was heaven to me! i definitely plan on trying to make my own one of these days and @li-sa, i think i will check out Delia Smith's recipes as you recommended. at the very least, they will be authentic, not to mention taste incredibly good!.....

I love Yorkshires.

Oh I want Sunday dinner now!!
