Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding might be thought of as quintessentially English but it's not the way we have it in Yorkshire.

The pudding (NOT a pastry!) is cooked in a tin under the roasting meat so that gravy drips on it and flavours the pudding. Then the pudding is eaten BEFORE the main part of the course, by itself or with gravy. The meat and vegetables come next.

The purpose of Yorkshire pudding was to fill bellies so that they didn't want as much meat. It's much the same as eating 'savoury pudding' (a mixture of breadcrumbs, egg, onions and herbs cooked in a tray under the meat) before the meat course of the Christmas meal.

This family still has savoury pudding at Christmas, it's expected, a tradition which must not be omitted.

In our Holiday Special episode we featured a family who's tradition each holiday is 'Turkey Ravaging'. When the turkey comes out of the fryer the entire family literally fights for the skin from the turkey. It looks even funnier on camera. You can watch it online if you have a chance (on our website).
