Heyy, every year I have the argument with friends and family on whether or not Yorkshire Puddings go on a Christmas dinner. So settle it for me, do they?

Where exactly is the argument here? Anyone of sound mind knows that Yorkshire puds belong on a Christmas dinner.

If you are sitting down to Christmas dinner and there are no yorkies then it is perfectly acceptable to throw a sprout at the host.

If there are no Yorkshire puds, do you really think there are going to be sprouts!!

I have them as a starter, an amuse Bouche if you will, before the main course. Then you have more room on your plate for meat and roast spuds.

Nobody could be savage enough to omit both, surely?

I suggest if both yorkies and sprouts are missing then excuse yourself from the table and flounce to the nearest petrol station and purchase yourself a pot noodle and a bottle of blue nun.

What is this hell of which you speak?

In the event that there are no Yorkshire puds, sprouts or roast potatoes then you need to reevaluate your life choices, what did you do wrong to be faced with the barren dinnerware before you?

According to a YouGov survey from 2016 on what people want at the dinner table on Christmas Day, only 47 percent of people would opt for a Yorkshire pudding. For many, the tradition that they aren't served with white meat holds strong - and we suspect it'll cause a row or two.

But it's Christmas have what you like.

No roasties, Yorkies, sausages, stuffing, bread sauce (if you are that way inclined..)

It is the ruination of the Christmas spirit that Yorkshire Puddings endow in the meal, hence it is forbidden on a Christmas meal so as not to demean its lofty status as an annual celebration to one of a weekly basis.

Even though it is a Yorkshire sourced food we don't have puddings on Christmas day. Only on a normal Sunday roast but not on today's dinner

No. Not traditionally but I know plenty of people that have them.

I need to say it loudly. YORKSHIRES ARE NOT PART OF A CHRISTMAS DINNER but you can have them if you want to.

Not on my Christmas dinner they don't.

I associate Yorkshire puddings only with Roast beef.

Besides, with all the other standard traditional extras that go with Christmas dinner there isn't any room on the plate left for a Yorkshire pud!

Yorkshire pudding should be made in a large square baking tray, one pudding that is sliced and shared between the family. It is served as the first course, with gravy, so that the children won't be so hungry with the small piece of meat that is all the family can afford.
