Aw poor darling. I've done that loads of time. But i'm a klutz

I did a simualr thing yesterday hunni. My dad asked my to look after his bacon while he took the dog into the garden I hate doing it anyway because i'm vegatarian but anyway it was all done so I thought I would be nice and put it into the sandwich for him and as I was putting them on the bread on of the pieces plopped onto my hand ouchie

I always burn myself on the oven (i guess I have to make sure the oven is hot). What else did you put in with the sausages .Kia, I have not done a casserole in ages maybe we could start a casserole post but I hope your hand gets better! I used to do the hamburger. Sausage. Noodles, and cheese. Don't feel bad, I am a klutz too!

It was a cheats casserole
brown off some sausages
chop some tinned new potatoes
open a tin (can) of sweetcorn
pour over a jar or knorr red wine and onion flavour "sausage tonight"

pop in oven for 30 mins and serve in the middle of an "aunt bessie giant yorkshire pudding".

i used to be a chef and i've got a few burn scars - fortunately I tend to heal burns well.

i loooooooove yorkshire pudding. I like making it in muffin tins though.

Never had it. What's it made of?

yorkshiremen.


No, it's made from flour, milk and eggs and you put it in the oven on a really high temp so it rises. Like a kind of batter. Sooooooo yummy. Traditionally eaten with roast beef.

It's kind of like a bisquit, only the outside is thin and hard and the insside is really soft. They're really good.

hmmm...I've never had a yorkshire pudding that was like a biscuit! Maybe they make them differently in different countries - or i've just been making them wrong!

Haha back to our translator

uk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Us
biscuit . . . . . . . . . . . . Cookie
their biscuits they have with gravy are nothing like our biscuits - even though i'll eat them with gravy *yummy* in fact i'll dip most things in gravy... crisps, crackers, biscuits, bread...

My yorkshire puddings aren't soft inside - they rise and literally form a hollow shell that is crispy.


Yorkshire puddings were originally made as a desert - to be eaten with jam *scrumptious*.
Then for some reason we started eating it with roast meats and now typically it is eaten with roast beef.

When I was a kid, if there was any yorkshire left over after dinner my dad would spread jam on it and then roll it up and pop it in the fridge til supper and have it as a snack.

When I was working as a chef we had a special deal on.
It was a large square yorkshire, put a couple slices of roast beef on it and drizzle with gravy, rollit up on the diagonal and slice in half. Served with hot chunky fries and a horse raddish dip.
It used to fly out at lunch times.

It sounds like bread. I'm going to google it and try to get a better idea.

Noooooooo yorkshire pudding is nothing like bread.

It sounds like bread. I'm going to google it and try to get a better idea. Okay i'm back. Googled it and wikipedia says it's a popover. Got it now. It's still just "bread"... You english people! If I didn't love you guys i'd think you were weird having orgasms over "bread"...

Okay just saw your post... So it's not a popover then?

Hmm... I always thought it was a type of pudding. Why do they call it yorkshire pudding?

Ok, so if your biscuits are our cookies, what do you call our biscuits?

We don't have things like that as far as I can tell.

I think they kinda look like a cross between a scone and an english muffin though

In the uk there is this thing about different types of taxing certain types of foods, so they had to define biscuits and cakes.

A biscuit goes soft when it gets stale, a cake gets hard when stale.

**just googling popover**

Ok it is similar to a popover.
The site I found states that a yorkshire pudding uses an identical recipe
http://food.Oregonstate.Edu/learn/popover. Html
but I can assure you I have never in my life heard of a yorkshire pudding made with shortening.

Yorkshire pudding is made with the same (but thicker) mix as english panckaes or crepes (but not sweetened).

So... Similar to a popover but made with just milk, flour and egg.

Maybe the shortening is what makes the difference then. Because to me a popover is just bread...

i guess.
Lol when I think of bread I think of dough, but yorkshire pudding is definately a batter...

.Kay can I come visit and you can feed me some wonderful yummy american food and then y'all can come and have some odd and strange english food with me too
