FabSwingers.com forum: Home Made Yorkshire Puddings v Auntie Bessie

Chelmsford

A girl from Staffordshire, the county which shares it name with a popular dog, has eaten nothing but Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire Puddings for the last seven years and has used mesmerising therapy to break the cycle. Are Aunt Bessies better than home made. The originals were made in Yorkshire to pad out meals for the poor who could not afford much meat or vegetables which is a tradition that the poor from Yorkshire still adopt today. Over time, the recipe has been modified and refined and counties like Lancashire produce this staple, as good and probably better than their neighbors. But what is best, Bessie's or homemade

It's all over the news

I prefer homemade but for time and ease, I'll happily use Aunt Bessie's as well.

Homemade. You can't beat them. Really annoys me when you go out for a Sunday dinner and they use the frozen yorkies.

I love homemade ones but no matter how many times I try, they end up as flat pancakes, I use to use aunt Bessie's but now I just buy the cheapest I can find.

As a Yorkshireman I’m mortally offended that anyone would even ask this question. This sort of cultural terrorism and wiping out of identity is just a step too far.

My late grandmother (from yorkshire, moved down to the midlands during the war as a land girl) would be turning in her grave listening to this conversation! She made the best yorkshire pudding I've ever tasted and ate that first as a starter (to fill you up) before having the traditional meat and two veg main.

Homemade and you can also freeze them, easy to make and as long as the fat is hot in the pan, they rise to perfection!

Homemade every time. Make the mix before anything else and pop it into the fridge until ready to use. Piping hot oil is a must too.

I always used to eat homemade as a child, but as an adult I don't eat them at all because let's be honest here, it is shit food with almost no nutritional value whatsoever.

So does most cakes

Eating too much Yorkshire pudding was like walking around with a brick in your belly. It always felt like it took days to digest as well. All they do is make you fat.

Aunt Bessie's are utterly vile and repulsive.

If I must eat Yorkie's then they are done at home without the added nasties.

And yes, it's open season on the politics front, so I will hijack any thread here and make it about anti thatcher topics if I can and feel that way...

Been around for decades. Nice tribalism attempt though.

Make it make sense then. I was doing practical lessons at school in 96. Thatcher was long gone. Home Ecnomics and the like was known to be declining in the 70's before Thatcher and her centrist Conservative Party came to power.

Never had an aunt Bessie's, homemade all the way thank you.

I do 36 for 5 of us when we are having a roast. They usually have a few with jam in. I thought they were weird but I see other posters do it to. Strange people!

I had food tech lessons in the noughties, not many I grant but they are still available. They were an option for the less academically inclined as well
