I 'spoke' to a foodie forum friend about Ma's sweet Yorkshires the other day ... she's going to try one with banana and brown sugar, using coconut milk in the batter .........

B3, not being a snake eater (SAS) we had to have the weevils instead, still it was all meat?
Scroggin, next time you head North take the Irish sea route as the real Yorkshire people will ambush you. Yorkshire pudding does not come in SLABS, it raises lightly from the roasting tin wafting a perfume of lovely meat juices and gently settles on your plate, the trick being to pin it down with your fork and pour on the glorious onion gravy, that should hold it down long enough to eat it letting it caress your taste buds giving a feeling of ecstasy that lasts a week.
When my late wife Joan took me home for Sunday lunch the first time it was nearly the last. Dad Brother Mother and myself got the usual plateful to start with gravy, Joan to my horror proceeded to baste hers with butter and jam, my flabber was totally gasted, it seemed like the end of a beautiful romance. Love won over stomach and forever after I got my lovely Yorkshires and Joan had her own often cold for tea with butter and jam, the fact that I could not watch such sacrilege meant I did a lot of gardening.
We love Yorkshires here but little, not big, and eat them with the main course. I may have northern origins but none of it is Yorkshire. I can remember having pease pudding and ham at Gran's and stottie cakes. Bacon butties in a bap. Yum. Never found anything like them down south but I expect there are recipes Lionel now. OH is from Worcester and had never heard of pease pudding or drop scones!

Ma used to make a sweet Yorkshire pud with roasted chunks of rhubarb in it (a bit like Toad in the Hole) and brown sugar sprinkled over it. Very yummy

Yum Dove
Philippa. There's salt and pepper - fine and then there's dousing it in Worcester sauce - crass
Yorkshire puds and jam are not that different to chocolate eclairs! They really do make good sweet treats.

I'm afraid I have to invite my husband to dinner frequently -almost daily.
In that case you'll just have to live with his idiosyncrasy .... they all have them ... some are much worse than that believe me

PG, I'm salivating
@r the roast beef. Let me at the Yorkshire pudding!!
Oooh you didn't say it was your husband at fault! That's different - tell him most bluntly to taste it before he tries it! He might be surprised.
Or at least sheepish.
