Yes, definitely with gravy. A must with roast beef. It's a British tradition!
Good as afters too, with sugar, or honey, or golden syrup.
Maybe the closest thing in the US are biscuits?? Only in the sense they are a cake type thing, served savory with gravy. Are biscuits eaten as desert too?

Oh definitely. A nice fresh biscuit with butter and jam is heavenly.
Biscuits here are best described as "flaky" - not sure how that compares with Yorkshire pud.

I've got a recipe for biscuits somewhere which I need to try one day. They do sound good. Yorkshire puds are quite firm, I guess, although the base stays relatively soft. They're basically like pancake batter baked in the oven.

Yes Gravy in me puddin' I think traditional yorkshire is a big one in a tin rather than the little round ones Dean pictures. But I prefer the little dainty ones then you can put sugar and butter in the leftovers! yum. |
Yes, that's true - the traditional pud that was eaten on its own was as big as the plate. |
That's how mom makes it. I think we got the recipe from my grandparents on my dad's side, my grandpa was stationed in England during WW2 and grandma went to live with him for a while. Probably picked up the recipe then.

Have you noticed that Yorkshires with sugar taste like doughnuts? Or is it just me?
Then French toast covered in cinnamon sugar tastes just like doughnuts too. I think it's the cooking oil+sugar combination that does it.
/edit: Eric (EDub) mentioned Biscuits and Gravy a few years back _ I searched out a recipe, but the constituents of the gravy looked decidedly dodgy to me and I haven't attempted it yet.

If I were only allowed to have biscuits and gravy for breakfast for the rest of my life, I wouldn't be terribly sad.

Yorkshires and sugar, certainly. I think it is that lovely combination of oil and sugar!

That resembles vomit. Obviously gravy means something else in the States too.

It's basically milk and flour with chunks of pork sausage. It's absolutely divine.

In the US there are a few different varieties of gravy not just the milk+flour+sausage one but thats the one that I think is most popular with buiscuits. And it is super tasty!!!

I just read a recipe. It appears that we also use the gravy as you call it, gravy which is basically beef stock. We use that very extensively also. I can't imagine putting it on what appears to be a pancake/donut type object. Sounds disgusting.

Well it's not sweet!
I don't usually use stock in my gravies. Just the juices of the roasted beef, lamb, chicken, turkey or pork (which usually has some roast vegetables in it too) with some flour and water, usually the potato water and other vegetable waters.

I'll have to try it one day. I'm having trouble imagining the taste. It was never suggested to me by anyone while I was in your country.

Do you put gravy in your yorkshire puddings?
