From the other side of the pond, am I getting this right? “Yorkshire Pudding” is what we’d call a “bread bowl”, and there are some traditions about what is proper to put into the bowl? (Why would it not be any soup or dip?)
No! No no no no no. Yorkshire puddings are their own thing, not bread at all. They're made of eggs, flour and milk, basically the same stuff as what we would call a pancake and you might call a "crepe" except sort of puffed up in the shape of...well...a Yorkshire pudding.
All that said, I have totally used them to scoop up soup although this is definitely not their intended purpose.
It’s not really a bread bowl, the closest thing over here is something called a popover. I usually make giant yorkshires though, with an entire roast dinner and gravy inside them.
That sounds so good.
We used to have cottage pie in a giant Yorkshire pudding. That was ace.
No, Yorkshire puddings are made of batter not bread! (But I can see why you might think that going from a photo alone)
