National Yorkshire Pudding Day

Yorkshire pudding is an iconic British dish that has withstood the test of time, dating all the way back to the 1700s in Yorkshire, England.

Typically cooked with a large tin underneath the roasting meat in order to catch the dripping fat, yorkshire pudding is most often served with roast beef or chicken, and, of course, lots of gravy.
