Always had Yorkshire’s on any roast/Sunday/Christmas dinner. Always had pigs in blankets year round as well.
Basically Christmas dinner to me is a Sunday dinner with Turkey.

I'll make it even easier.
1 x Protein drink shaker bottle.
3 eggs (see how much volume this is, will be approx 125ml)
Same volume of plain flour (approx 125g)
Same volume of milk (approx 125ml)
Do the above by eye, measuring jugs and scales are not required!! REST the batter for 10+ minutes in the fridge
Do NOT salt it, shake away! then pour into HOT pudding tray (with hot oil, lard, dripping, any fat that takes a high temp)
When almost cooked, take them out (quickly) turn them over and put back in the oven for 2 minutes to cook the bottoms! Then salt them if you want to.
Make them the day before.... Just like aunt Bessie does...

All of which may be true but we cannot blame the media for what you consider to be the idiotic decision making and actions of much of the British public. The media have a responsibility to report to us what we need to know to make informed decisions. As it happens I cannot go along with the idea of there being a moronic sector of the population, they are only acting in what they perceive to be their own best interests - even when their own grasp of the actual facts may be somewhat limited.
Yes…I too find it very irritating…but as an individual I cannot change people, places or things. Acceptance can often be very difficult, but accept I must.

I like Yorkshire puds as much as the next man, I'd happily have them with Christmas dinner, but I'm sure when I was young my parents told me you should only really have Yorkshire puds with roast beef. Not sure if I've misremembered that. Or maybe it was a falsehood on the same lines as "when the music is playing that means he's run out of ice cream".
They were traditionally had with roast beef, if you eat out on a Sunday in a pub or restaurant I would be surprised if they were served with anything but. However, at home, do what you like. Be wild, be edgy, have them when you want
Relaxing of COVID testing and the associated costs for entering the country.
Just after we had ordered and paid for the PCR’s.😡

From applause to league tables and name and shame…what on earth are we doing…🙁
But apparently that is what ‘the people’ want, and it is that, which I find very irritating, and more than that, I find it staggering, disheartening and very depressing - that we - the people - want this. But so we are led to believe. What on earth has become of us.🙁

There are also lots of pubs that serve a stew or similar inside a giant version. That will always be adaptions but as a general rule it was yorkshires with roast beef.
Did he serve anything else with them other than gravy or was it just that combo? Was it just him or was it something that happened in his local area? I like a quirk

That's how we were served them as kids by my grandma. Loaf tin sized, with onion gravy.
The traditional way of cooking them is with rendered beef fat. Cook the beef on the rack and let the fat drip into a tray underneath. Then use that fat for Yorkshire puddings.

My good ladies auntie has Yorkshires with golden syrup - Is that a good enough quirk for you?

My favourite is maple syrup and peanut butter.
My grandfather, a single father and proper Yorkshireman, made the best Yorkshire puds and I still use his method.
A thinner batter than you'd expect, made first thing in the morning and left in the larder/fridge till lunchtime.
Using the tray with little wells you'd use for jam tarts. Scorching hot oven, barely in for 10 minutes. Small, thin and crispy; nothing like the 4 inch cylinders that seem to be the norm.

tbh I'm struggling to think of a meal that isn't improved with some yorkshires.
Giant Yorkshire filled with fried onions and sausages, topped with beans and gravy. Delicious 😋
So Toad in the Hole then 😎😎🙄
