The Monster Yorkshire Pudding That Ate New York


Picture of the Day for 2/14/2010. I was invited to my sister's house for a Valentine's Day dinner. Roast beef, mashed potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding* were on the menu. This is a picture of the Yorkshire pudding which had grown to epic proportions due to the fact that most of my sister's guests were late. Apparently, this is what happens when Yorkshire pudding is left in the oven too long. I'm glad we were only a few minutes late. The pudding probably would have muscled its way out of the stove if we had been delayed any further.

*According to Martha Stewart, "A roast beef in Britain isn't quite complete unless it's served with a golden-brown Yorkshire pudding. Something of a cross between a popover and a souffle (and not at all like any of the usual assorted foods that Americans and Britons call pudding), Yorkshire pudding is made from a basic batter of eggs, milk, and flour."
