Aunt Bessies

[cecil39]

Why are Mable and Margaret in the add so surprized that the family the spy on have Yorkshires with chicken? our family have Yorkshires with any roast dinner.

I don't know how anyone can eat Aunt Bessie's yorkshire puddings. I have tried them and found them to be tasteless cardboard.

Proper yorkshires need to be cooked in beef dripping, from the roast beef. That is what gives them the proper flavour and that's why they are traditionally only eaten with beef.

A roast dinner in this house has to include two Aunt Bessies each.
I also love toad in the hole. Scrumtious.

I've never tried premade yorkies, there's too easy to make.

[pusskin]

hc, your right there. Bessys are very quick to cook, and i find them tasty, but they will never really beat the yorkshires what mum used to make with her roast beef.

[cecil39]

yes blackadder, I do make my own, unless in a hurry.

The Aunt Bessie brand is grossly overpriced. Places such as Iceland do their own; much cheaper and, in my opinion, much nicer.

in our house we have always had Yorkshire puds with any roast dinner but not Aunt Bessies though all her food contains more fat than most and her roast spuds are awful, they look good but the taste isn't, prefer to do my own .

As I'm not from the north of England I may have this wrong but I was always under the impression that, to be quite authentic, it was roast beef, Yorkshire pudding made from rabbit gravy and....oh, yes, there had to be a whippet in the room!

I'll get my coat.

[BlackadderV]

Got it slightly wrong there, the whippet was for making gravy, the rabbit was for supper.

[DaisyNonna]

Roast Beef. Vaguely remember that.

[BlackadderV]

Roast whippet was tastier.

[Retrochic]

Never understood Yorkshire puddings - why are they supposed to go with meat they are just pancakes with an attitude.

[BlackadderV]

How very true, Retro, like it. The French would saty they are a load of crêpe.
