"Rise" - Herb Alpert, 1979

For my North American readers who might not know, what's pictured to the left are Yorkshire puddings.

Only in Britain would a scientific society get involved in determining the best recipe for the perfect Yorkshire pudding! Here's the story, from the Yorkshire Evening Post's online edition!

Mmm, my father (with his English roots) enjoyed dishes like this. Thanks for the link to the recipe. :)

It's funny, I would call these pastries pop-overs and they would be vegetarian friendly but still delicious.

I have to say that my favourite yorkshire puds are those I make with soya milk rather than cows milk. That caramel kinda taste you get from soya milk makes the yorkshire puds taste a little extra yummie to me...

I gather in some places Yorkshire pudding and gravy are (or were) eaten as a separate course from the roast beef and trimmings. I think it stems from hard times, when the stodgy pud would fill the belly and make up for the lack of meat.

Oh, by the way. I have memed you for your favourite books. I hope you'll not take it amiss.
