I have no idea what Yorkshire Pudding even is.

Serve with brisket and brown gravy.

I eat da puddin.

As a Canadian, Yorkshire pudding is fantastic and the only reason I don't eat much more of it is because I don't often have dishes that it goes well with (that, and they don't reheat very well, and I usually cook for 3-4 nights at a time).

I made it before when my cooking teacher taught me. I would make it again, but I might be habituated to making other things. .

It's made with a liquid batter (flour, milk, eggs, some form of melted fat), making it more akin to some manner of cake than a bread. Some cakes are typically called "puddings" in Britain (I can never remember the exact delineation between them), so I'm guessing that's where it comes from.

Because theyre shite

1) Americans do eat Yorkshire Pudding

2) iirc, it takes a while to make and you need certain byproducts to make it that you won't always have. (Although I guess there might be other recipes?)

3) iirc, it's very high fat.

Traditionally, you use melted beef fat, which is only really handy if you're already cooking beef, but you can just as easily melt some butter. If you've got your ingredients ready, you could probably get the batter together in under a minute (again, it's just flour. eggs, and milk), and then they bake in about 15-20 minutes if you're using a muffin tin (longer if you do a loaf pan or skillet, obviously). That's not particularly complex or time-consuming, as home-cooked dishes go.

This, however, is very true. But then so are most American diets, so I don't know that that would make for much of a deterrent.

yes because as we know, americans are obsessed with not eating fatty foods.

We fought a war so we would never have to eat disgusting British food ever again.

They don't eat it because they think gravy is white, and that does not go on Yorkshires.

So you don't have poor people where you live?

Because it's bland like most English food. We have roughly 15 "ethnic" restaurants in my city. The English one, while authentic and "high quality", is probably the worst of them. Sorry England.

Honey, have you never had horseradish? The problem you're having is expecting Americans to know how to cook.

I knew someone who made authentic Cornish pasties for the local farmer's markets, and fuck they were bland just as-is. I'd bite into them then get some kind of sauce happening inside.

If you're relying on horseradish to keep food from being bland, I'm afraid you've got a thing or two to learn about seasoning.

That said, yorkshire pudding shouldn't be bland. If it is, it's probably because it's been deliberately under-seasoned so it works better as a vehicle for gravy. Adding a bit more salt to the mix corrects that pretty easily, as does baking at a bit of a higher temperature so you get that nice browning without drying it out.

I can't believe you'd disrespect a fellow subject of the Crown like that, adjl.

But I thank you for it.

Sure, it's pretty good on roast beef. But that's the pinnacle of English food: pretty good roast beef. :)

Considering how cornish pasties are seasoned mince and potato in a heavy pastry, idk wtf sauce you had in it, but it was wrong.

That's not an opinion. That's a fact.

Horseradish is a seasoning, problem is you don't use seasoning.

Seasonings are cooked/mixed into the food. Anything that goes on at/just before the table is either a condiment (for liquids) or a garnish (for solid stuff or liquids that are used more sparingly). Generally speaking, horseradish falls into the latter category. It has its uses as a seasoning, but that's not tremendously common because it's such an aggressive flavour and many people aren't fond of it.

I don't know what makes you think I don't use seasoning. My spice drawer gets plenty of use. My tastes tend toward adding less salt than many do, so I usually have to deliberately add more salt than I usually would if I'm cooking for other people, but I very much do season my food. I just don't use horseradish on everything in lieu of seasoning it, because that would be weird.

It's been a while since my WoW board days. Over a decade, I'm pretty sure, which is kind of wild.

So if you add salt without mixing it in it's neither?

You are certainly allowed your opinion. :)

You could technically say that, but in practice, salt usually dissolves pretty readily when it hits food. Salt is also pretty invariably considered seasoning. You might see something like a sprinkling of sea salt on top of a truffle being called a garnish, and I'd say that's accurate, but generally, how much salt to add is discussed in the context of determining how well seasoned food is.

Of course, it's a fairly arbitrary distinction. The take-away, though, is that if you approach your food with "this food is bland, I should dump some horseradish on the plate to fix that," that's a problem of poorly seasoned food. If you approach it while cooking and say "I want to incorporate horseradish into this dish," then you're seasoning with it.

I thought that was a dog? What kind of pudding are you eating over there?

I typically don't add salt anyway unless I'm cooking with it. Sometimes I'll add the salt after for eggs. For a baked potato I'll use way too much salt though.
