Firsty, the the rest of your points I often think rtradition arose for a reason with marriages in tastes. DH and I have inherited through family and our own upbrnging in foreign climes, a rich inheritance of ''child hood food memeories'' and when the tradition from one culinary tradition wanes we take from another. and its all delicious.

bread sauce taste a bit like a savoury bread pudding: savoury, rich in bay and clove and with an under tone of onion. alone it tastes a bit nothing, but with meat or gravy its transformed....a bit like bread changes the cntnts of a sandwich to make something greater than the sum of its parts.

It looks a bit dreary in a bowl....I always ''dress'' it for the tabl with a small bay leaf so it looks austere but loved, rather than a heap of wallpaper paste in a bowl:D

I'm making some now with frozen raspberries. £1.99 for 500g in lidl, worth a try. If it's nice i'm going to make a selection of fruity flavours

Lol, all this talk of raspberry vodka makes me wish I still drank! I guess you could do a really 'MSE' version by picking brambles in September [free obviously] then adding them to the vodka. After 3 months it would probably be mega strong.

I was born in London as were both my parents and we grew up always having yorkshire puddings with christmas dinner or any roast for that matter.

Me and OH are vegetarian but we always have yorkies with our roast dinner. It just would not seem right without them

I'm intrigued, can only assume having yorkies with Christmas dinner is an old mse custom to fill people up cheaply.

We've always been very fixed in our ways:

beef with yorkies and horseradish
pork with apple
lamb with mint
turkey with cranberry

It's what I always had when I was growing up and I've passed it on. I've never tasted bread sauce, always thought it looked unappetising. What does it taste of?? (please don't say bread:D).

100% this is us as well. I only ever do Yorkshires with roast beef. I also do roast chicken with bread sauce as well (I also do stuffing too).
