This is the poll about standing rib roast and Yorkshire pudding. Two
responses so far. Neither knew what Yorkshire pudding was. One said he had
to look it up. He does know what a standing rib roast is but said it is
expensive so has never eaten it. The other also didn't know what the roast
was. She said she asked a bunch of people and neither had heard of either.

Will post more results as they pour in.

So? It's a sample of people that you know. Doesn't mean any more than
you providing your one data point.

One more. She didn't know what either was but sometimes eats chocolate
pudding.

Two more who have never had either. One said her dad was a butcher.

Is there a _problem_ with that?

Do you personally mandate Gallup polling results here?

If so - WHY?

Not, you know, like electing the President by having all of her
Facebook friends do the voting, but it's just stupid. She can
ask anybody she wants, and the results are essentially meaningless.
She'll get the answer she wants because she's selecting her
friends, and people tend to aggregate with people who are similar.
It would be better to use a search engine such as duckduckgo and
get a rough idea of how many people in the U.S. know what Yorkshire
pudding is or have eaten it.

sorry, I have what's his name blocked so I'm tagging on here.
Apparently Casa doesn't know anything about polling. We tend to hang
with like minded people so asking and expecting to get a reasonable
mix of answers different than our own is not likely. Even choosing a
Facebook group means that you are choosing a group that is like
yourself. Even the questions asked can be skewed to give the results
that you want. That's why surveys are handled by professionals.

17 moiré responses. Two have had standing rib roast. One makes Yorkshire
pudding with it. One said she never heard of Yorkshire pudding until she
went to New England. Another said that her dad's British friend used to make
it for them. The others? Never heard of.

Of course most people have had what is called prime rib but most have not
had something called standing rib roast. I tried one bite of prime rib once.
I had to spit it out. It was so fatty and chewy. Ick.

We ate it a lot when we were kids. My father's parents were from
England. We had roast beef almost every Sunday, and we almost always had
Yorkshire pudding with it. I realize that the Yorkies are an English
standard it is an English but I have seen it in enough Ameerican
magazines and cookbooks that one would have to try pretty hard not to
find out about it.

There you have it. The closer you are to England, culturally speaking,
the bigger the chance you know what Yorkshire pudding is.

I grew up without knowing what scones, high tea, Yorkshire pudding,
cream sherry etc are. But I did know Hercule Poirot.

no. at least a poll that can be trusted. Your original statement
about who knew of or had eaten these items was pretty inclusive of
anyone. Therefore, you must poll everyone in the US to determine the
answer. You better get started, telephoning everyone in the US is
going to take some time.
Have fun with that.

The most stupid thing American voters have ever done nationally, is
vote for Trump. I bet Julie wasn't one of them. I bet you were.

Actually, I think just about everyone in this country is well aware of
what Yorkshire pudding is and they have likely eaten it, though we do
have a lot of immigrants who may not yet have had the experience. We
probably had it more than others because of that English connection. I
know what corn dogs and funnel cakes are but rarely see them, and there
is little chance that I would eat on. I did once try a little bit of
funnel cake and it cured me of them.

I am sure about what exactly high tea is, other than an over rated and
highly over priced light meal in nice restaurant. Cream sherry is
something you are better off not trying. It is just sweet sherry. One's
experience with scones is often reflected by the pronunciation. We
scones frequently when I was a kid and they were scone rhyming with on.
Those who pronounce them rhyming with stone probably never did and now
they get the sweet crap they sell for a high price in coffee shops.

I have cooked standing rib roast and Yorkshire pudding! I know what they both are and have eaten them many times!!

And blacks and, so far, most of the people Julie asked. Young people,
in general, probably also don't know. They might think a Yorkshire
Pudding is a type of dog. Just guessing, of course.

On an unrelated note: one-third of American 8th graders think Canada
is a dictatorship.

For some reason, English food culture didn't make it to the
Netherlands much, as opposed to French. Which is strange, because I
grew up with Are You Being Served, Dad's Army, Monty Python, etc., not
with the French equivalents.

No, the stupidest thing American voters did was vote in a community
organizer because he was black. It's just as racist to vote for
someone because of their skin color as it is to not vote for them
because of their skin color.

All that hope and change he promised people but I can't get one
single person to tell me how that's working out for them. They
all clam up like they have laryngitis.

I doubt Ju-Ju votes. After all, NOBODY in her area votes, she's never
seen them vote or not vote, but she's positive they don't as she speaks
for an entire section of the country.

On some things, absolutely. I don't mean exterminating people in
gas chambers or lining them up against a wall and killing them.
But mandatory sterilization for some, you betcha.

I can see no reason why the average American Joe would know about British foods. My guess is that a "99" would be unknown in the states. I have a pail of Maltesers. It's the only food item in this house that was made in the UK. Most Americans ain't gonna know what those are either.

Maybe older people know more, especially whites.
