I think Yorkshire Pudding is someone akin to a popover in terms of
ingredients. Lemme see...

Yep. Pretty much. I don't know anyone who does popovers these days either. I
do recall sw saying that he made them. I think they were more common when my
parents or grandparents were kids.

I do think I made popovers twice, as kid. Twice because I thought I had
messed them up the first time. Nope. Again, nobody liked them. Also remember
conversation with sw about how we put filling in ours and he didn't. I think
we used scrambled eggs. Person who submitted the recipe that I posted said
they put jam in theirs. Anyhoo...

The difference I think is that Yorkshire pudding is usually cooked with the
meat while popovers are done in muffin tins. Oh and... I never heard anyone
refer to a popover as a pudding.

And what of the Cheese Strata?

Is this what the Europeans would call cheese pudding? I guess it is
essentially a savory bread pudding; no? And yet, people over here call it a
strata and not a pudding.
