My mom would make Yorkshire pudding to serve with roast beef and gravy
(made from the beef drippings). Personally, Yorkshire Pudding reminds
me of a popover in taste and texture. It'a absolute Heaven! Carol

Our life may not always be the party we would have chosen, but while we
are here, we may as well dance!

Not exactly. You can pour the batter over fruit or have the YP with
syrup or jam

Since 2000 I live in Piedmont in a country near Turin called "Germagnano"
(many trees, rivers and mountains here).
Before I lived in "Castelli Romani" - Rocca di Papa (near Frascati-Rome).
There I have two brothers and my mother.

Pandora,

It was under your post in thread,Yorkshire Pudding on 8/8/2005 at 1:20 AM.
That was the first time I saw it,and I wanted to give you credit for it. My
grand parents on my mothers side were from a small town in Abruzzi. Do not
worry..

Salute

Hubert... (Umberto) ?
