Yorkshire Pudding is cooked (baked)in the fat left over from beef (mostly) and is heavy and used more like potatoes than anything else. Very tasty but I would have to assume it to be quite artery clogging.

It's made of batter, like you'd use for coating fried fish or making UK pancakes and it's baked in the oven, generally using the fat from the meat. It's then eaten with a traditional Roast Dinner. Consisting of roast meat, roast poatoes, several types of vegetable, yorkshire puddings and gravy. It's most definitely a savoury dish although when my parents were kids it would be usual to spread jam (jelly) on them if any were left over. In my house growing up they were always referred to as Batter Puddings, but we're from the south. I think mealwise technically, Dinner is the Midday meal, Tea is in the late afternoon and Supper would be the main evening meal. Personally, I have lunch at lunch time, and either Dinner or Tea as my evening meal depending on what leaves my mouth first!!!
