DEM BLADES on Burton Albion...

[Steve Mackan]

Why would you watch England?

This review discusses my previous visit to Burton and addresses a deep-rooted issue associated with the Yorkshire Pudding (can it be eaten as a sweet?).

 

[Tom Bott]

Classic.

Friday night could see DEM BLADES go top of the table once again, which is more surprising to DEM PIGS than a match-day ticket under £40.

thank you for raising the spectre of the frankenstein approach to the nations top food , theYorkshire Pudding
Can accept restaurant chains doing sunday roasts , making namby pamby micro version of the staple diet that empowered fred Trueman and Sir Geoff Boycott to English sporting glory
But certain culinary terrorists are abusing the dish and should be executed for treason ,
Seasoned pudding is the zenith of variety in yorkshire pudding, But its a savoury dish , for savoury yorkshire folk , happen

 

[Rodley]

Lovely stuff

Always think is preferable to serve it first with lashings of thick gravy on before starting on the roast beef.
Sunday lunch out down here, if it is served, goes on the main plate with the beef.
Being a true Northerner just not the same.

Sorry nothing to do with the Blades.

Do as @mrsstringsenior does and cool far too many so they can be enjoyed as desert with golden syrup

 

[knowsnowt]

You dirty bastards, yorkshire puddings are as vile as niges signings. And no mistake.

 

[S64 Blade]

A funny read, as ever and one which was informative. I never knew Burton had a town centre, for example. I just thought it consisted of a Hungry Horse (pub), McDonalds, a few roundabouts and a big factory masquerading as a brewery.

You utter, utter barsteward.

It's two squares of pudding, covered in gravy and served before the roast. The only variations allowed are seasoned pudding containing a good pinch of thyme and sage, or onion pudding containing (unsurprisingly) chopped onions.

Any variations gets you banned sine die from the local WMC and ceremoniously stripped of your flat cap and whippet

Golden syrup...............my arse

 

[1066blade]

Reminds me of when I first moved down here, regarding pancake eating, everyone just has them as a pudding with jam, syrup, chocolate spread. When I asked for mine with gravy, everyone just stared as if I'd just farted in church.

No,sorry pal. Our family always had (and has) puddings served as a starter with gravy and treacle, pronounced traycle (sometimes referred by southerners as Golden Syrup) Youre all missing out. Brooks is having a good game!

Nah, not syrup for me. Puddings before and/or during main with gravy.

It would appear that you're not happy with my mother's culinary delights. That's fine. You won't ever be invited round for Sunday dinner

For the avoidance of doubt, we also have Yorkshires with gravy as a starter and Yorkshires with the meat.

If mankind (or womankind (or non-gender specific kind)) never experimented with ingredients we'd all still be foraging hedgerows and eating raw rabbit. Vive la difference.

I bet you use Oxo cubes instead of making your own beef gravy from roasting and boiling veal bones. Heathen

 

[stringjunior]

treacle

Yes. You're correct. My 10 months in London must have affected my correct use of the colloquial treacle*

*Imagine my surprise when I discovered what treacle actually looks like!

Experimenting with ingredients? What kind of mad parallel universe have I fallen into where the term "experimenting with ingredients," is acceptable?

I think I need to go and do some hedgerow foraging and I believe there is still a piece of dead rabbit festering in the gin trap. Bon appetit.

With GRAVY and TREACLE !!!.??? What , together ?? I've heard of some weird food combinations but that's got to be up there with the most disgusting.

Being one of the more senior members of this esteemed forum, I feel I am in a position to put the record straight with regard to this debate. Both my dear lady wife ( Arabella Hartington - Shaw ( nee Hagan ) ) and I clearly remember that our parents and grandparents would always have said pudding both as a starter, with onion gravy, and as a dessert, usually with squeezed orange and sugar ( but don't tell Heston Blumenthal as he might start serving it as Yorkshire Pudding Suzette )

So there you have it.

 

[Houston_Blade]

My brother in law has jam on leftover Yorkshire puddings. Shocking.

 

[shorehamview]

My grandma used to serve Yorkshire pudding as the starter. When ALL the puds were eaten then the main course was served. There should never be any left over Yorky puds, if there are then you’re doing something wrong, and need to address your life choices.

 

[Eddiecolquhounsleg]

With reference to treacle; we always called golden syrup treacle and I too was confused when leaving the city that when asking for treacle I would be given some black noxious concoction which was nothing like "treacle"

I wonder what would happen now if I left the city environs and asked for a bag of spice?

I got told to do this by a colleague a few years back, he said it would change my life. I've never actually got round to trying it though, I never have any Yorkshire puds left over!!!

So did we but my grandma had real treacle (e.g. for making parkin) but we were never confused!

When I first saw him doing it he was at my mum and dads, luckily I'd known him for years otherwise I might have made my sister get rid. Weirdo.

You think you know a guy and then he goes and does that.......

Treacle is perfect with yorkshires. Combined with the slight flavor of the beef dripping it is something to savor. As Lyndon likes to say, don't knock it till you've tried it.

I could give my dad a tray of yorkshires and a pot of jam and he'd do the lot, even if he'd just had a full Sunday roast. Wouldn't do his type 2 diabetes much good but he'd still have a go.

 

[NuddysGloves]

Honestly my cat will eat yorkshires if you rip small bits off for him!!

Funny you should say that as my cat likes pastry but I'm yet to try him on Yorkshires.

 

[Snowman]

Found out yesterday that one of my cats likes croissants. Anyway just to add to the Yorkshire pudding debate, back in the early sixties my mother made yorkshires with sultanas in the batter. Worked well with beef gravy as a starter.

My cat will do the whole dinner. Puds, carrots, meat, especially mash and gravy. Loves it.
