Trick question. Its roast potatoes and anyone who says differently needs to have a look at their life choices.

This is D by the way. S thinks yorkies are amazing and I'm just a crazy Irishman.

Yorkshire puddings are massively overrated tbh. They're just overly chewy pancakes.

I've always found that a little odd as well and I dont know why because mash is lovely. Just seems out of place with a roast

How are they even comparable? You can very easily have both and I reckon most people do when making a roast of some sort.

Roasted anything seems to taste so much better.

Mushrooms are another one we prefer to roast.

Cannot stand a Sunday Roast with boiled carrots, that's just lazy, roast them.

Well as a Yorkshireman its always gonna be a pudding and if you don't agree you have not eaten pudds made by a Yorkshire lass.

That’s one thing that differs from my childhood.... I use olive oil and not lard and it’s cooked separately from the meat, it’s the gravy or dessert topping that adds the flavour

Lol sounds like draconian measures are a must.

If I had my own principality, then combining chocolate and orange would warrant the death penalty.

But let’s stick to the narrative.

I’m all about the roast potatoes, but those Yorkshire people definitely elevated the pudding for me that it’s a regular on my plate - Even Christmas dinner
