by Northern Life
To celebrate National Yorkshire Pudding Day on 3rd February, Wren Kitchens has sourced the barmiest ways to eat a Yorkshire pudding. Sweet or savoury, it’s your pick!
The classic Yorkshire pudding served with a Sunday roast is still the nation’s favourite[5], however Wren Kitchens has always been a fan of a little British ingenuity – which is why it’s found the best of the nation’s weird and wonderful takes on the Yorkshire pudding popping out of ovens across the UK.
From Yorkshire pudding ice cream cones to Yorkshire pudding pizza, you decide if these alternatives are mealtime heaven or supper sacrilege.
