Yorkshire Classic Gets a Cool Twist

Tasty Treat: Diners enjoy a very different Yorkshire pudding (click image to play video)

Diners at a pub in West Yorkshire are being treated to Yorkshire puds with a difference.

As well as being served as part of the traditional carvery lunch, the Toby Carvery pub in Horsforth is offering the regional classic as a dessert, with ice cream and a choice of sauces.

For some, the idea of a sweet Yorkshire pud is very unusual but for veteran waitress Pat, who has worked at the restaurant for 25 years, it brings back memories of her childhood…

"When I was younger people used to do this. They also put treacle, sugar and jam on their Yorkshire puddings. Some people even used to bake the Yorkshire pudding with sultanas in.

Because people don't bake as much now I think…something like this is a pleasant change..."

Although it has gone down well with customers so far, it remains to be seen whether it will replace gravy as the accompaniment of choice.
