I've never had yorkshire pudding, but bacon and honey together sounds disgusting.

Vegetables really are underappreciated by fat people. Not a holiday food, but I've been making oven-roasted zucchini and it's /so good/. I'm not against eating unhealthy things during the holidays too, but no reason you can't eat reasonable portions.

Also, although the cleanup and grocery bill might be a pain, I'd love to host the holiday dinner (my family is small anyway). If it's at my house I don't have to travel :) And then I can actually put some effort into the meal instead of opening a can of something and calling it a side dish.

Yorkshire pudding is delicious, and very easy. All you need to do is mix equal parts egg and milk in a bowl, then add the same amount again of flour--so, frex, four eggs are a little over 3/4C of egg (crack the eggs into a measuring cup first, beat them lightly with a fork, and note the volume), so you'll add a little over 3/4C of milk and then a little over 3/4C of flour, and then about 3/4 tsp of salt. Mix it all well--some recipes say to make a well in the flour and then add the egg and milk, and it does mix better that way, but it rises better if you add the flour to the liquid--and let it sit for at least 20 min or so while you preheat the oven to 425F. When the oven is hot, take a muffin tin and put a little blob of bacon fat, beef drippings, or shortening into each cup (maybe 1/2 tsp into each?), then put that in the oven for 10 minutes to get good and hot.

At the end of the 10 minutes, give the batter a stir (it's a very runny, liquidy batter), pull out the muffin tin, and pour some batter into each cup--it will sizzle and start rising a bit immediately. You want to fill each cup about 1/2 - 3/4 full. Put it back in the oven and bake for about twenty minutes; the puddings will rise very high, and they'll be kind of hollow inside. They're done when they're golden brown - darker brown and feel dry and springy, and there's no wet batter still in the center, though the center will be pale still generally. (They'll fall a bit when you take them out of the oven.)

They're a traditional accompaniment to roast beef/roast meats--actually, people would make them as a filling side to make the main course meat stretch farther. You can pour gravy on them, or eat them plain, or you can add honey or maple syrup or golden syrup if you like for breakfast or dessert or whatever. I like gravy or plain, personally, and they're delicious cold the next day, too. As I said, sometimes for a meal I'll add the meat and veg from soup when I pour the batter into the cups, or you can add seasoned browned or cooked meat of any kind; the puddings will rise around the meat, basically, so it's meat and pudding in one. (I also make toad-in-the-hole pretty often, or did when I had access to good fresh British sausages, and that's just Yorkshire pudding batter poured over sausages which have been roasted in the oven for twenty minutes or so until they're gently browned and very hot. In that case it's one big pudding rather than muffin tins [takes about the same amount of time to cook] and I add some herbs and such to the batter: rosemary, thyme, basil, marjoram, some garlic powder or onion powder--all of them or any combination of them. It's my younger daughter's favorite dinner, with mashed potatoes and peas, and very filling.)

I'd love to hear how you make oven-roasted zucchini, if you feel like sharing? I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but IMO most vegetables are delicious roasted, so I'd like to give it a go.

Wow, I'll Have to try that. I expected it to be more of a dessert.

For roasted zucchini I cut zucchini into chunks, season with salt/pepper and garlic (or whatever spices I feel like using), and bake on a cookie sheet at 350°F for about 30-40 minutes. Very simple but it tastes better than just steamed zucchini.

Haha this reads like the most British post ever. Where are you from, did I guess correctly?

Why make all that food if you won't even get to eat it all.

Great one sentence summary of fatbrainz: lazy, selfish, gluttonous wrapped in one phrase. You didn't even have to say "250 lbs and doesn't shower", I inferred it from this quote.

No. You dont cook yorkshire pudding with bacon and honey.

You can have one, or the other. You can even, right, you can even have yorkshire pud with bacon for your main meal, and yorkshire pud with honey for your desert, but no, not that.

Guarantee you mayogirl couldnt make yorkies if she fucking tried.

You lost me at 'i dont eat meat' part. The only thing that should never go onto a plate, would be fucking brussel sprouts. fuck that shit. fuck it to hell.

No offense intended, but a vegetarian/vegan telling me what i should and shouldnt be eating is no different than a butter huffer telling me whats good for me. Especially when we have a massive push for giving up meat using complete fucking horseshit reasons that are nothing but scams in themselves.

Lol downvoats because hey, fuck evolution and health. Fuck outta here vegetards.

Can you imagine how soggy that pudding would become? Disgusting blob, just like Mayogirl.

Roasted Brussels sprouts are actually pretty good. I always hated them, too, until I tried them that way.

And I agree Mayogirl probably couldn't make Yorkies if she tried, which is ridiculous because they're one of the easiest things in the world to make. I've never had them with bacon or honey, but I have filled them with leftover beef barley soup (just the meat, veg, and barley, obviously, not the liquidy part) when money was tight and I needed to make the soup last.

I'm not a big fan of vegetarianism/veganism in general, either, but I'm kind of surprised to see you getting so sharp about it. I didn't take @Thinneriswinner's post as telling us all what to eat. And I think you're probably getting downvoats because of the tone rather than your opinion. I mean, it doesn't matter, really, I don't suddenly think you're a big jerk or anything (and I doubt my opinion matters so much to you either way, of course), I'm just surprised to see you kind of coming out swinging like that, is all (are you okay?). But hey, if you just really hate vegetarianism/veganism, that's okay, too.

Aight. Who pissed in your cornflakes?

I cook at least three types of meat for my meat-eating family, I just don't have any myself. I just plain don't like the taste.

Glad I could clear that up.
