I think you're in the lead so far Taxi

What has happened to the art of home-made Yorkshire Pudding?

Apart from David 30000000091's oeuvre I've not seen any decent examples.

Belting cauliflour cheese though, by far the best yet.

[BigAdz]

Agree with many. Having been made to suffer just boiled today, those roasties look magic sir.

You start on page 3 as usual Ralph? Because the perfect Yorkshire Puddings were right there on page one I have been working on them for about 2 years to get the perfect technique.

Taxi -  meat looked lovely the rest really disappointing.  Potatoes looked burnt but prepared to give you the benefit on them but YP's out a bag watery gravy and strange veg don't do it for me. I can only assume Red marked you up as you have got closest to trough sized portions,

Just to clarify, YP 100% homemade but agree definitely not my best effort, must do better.

Thought I'd give you horrible lot a tantalising look at my dinner today,  being as we had my favourite beef ribs.  

Not a huge lot of effort was put into this meal tbh, I threw the meat in the oven at ten, had to go out till twelve and still managed to be sat down to eating it 1:30.
This shall be my excuse for frozen Yorkshires, but I still did six fresh veg, two roast and mash and some petit pois, also frozen but do they come any other way?
I accept no responsibility for damage caused by drooling onto keyboards.

Peas dry and bulletified - .5

Cauli sans cheese -1

Yorkshire not home made, extremely small and only one - 1.5

Mash not creamed - .5

No gravy boat -.5

No sauces, condiments or beverages -.5

Kack-handed cutlery -.5

Leeks - 1

Cheap, knock off, car boot sale plate, -.5

Rib of beef +1

Total 4.5/10


 

What?!
How very dare you.

For a start,  you wouldn't know creamed mash if you fell in some, my mother serves her mash in slices.

Leeks are a perfectly good vegetable and do not detract from a dinner in the same way something like, I don't know,  tinned sweetcorn or  luminous mushy peas would,  so I dispute that mark down.

Gravy was excellent,  made from the meat juices to just the right thickness and was in fact on the table but in a pyrex jug rather than a boat so not in the photo.
Mark down invalid.

Cauli and broccoli would indeed, like most foods benefit from a layer of melted cheese but we are trying to keep the saturated fat at a reasonable level.

My dinner is delicious,  it does not need sauces to disguise it's blandness,  that would be like being served fillet mignon by Michael Roux and smothering it in ketchup.

As for the pathetic,  scraping the bottom of the barrel insults about my tableware,  I have you know they are Johnson and Johnson's finest bone china in summer chintz, carboot sale or not!
Anyway it's rate my dinner not rate my place settings so I reckon we are back up to an 8/10

Agree about Yorkshire,  and maybe did nuke the peas for to long.

[GreekStein]

I love the fact that Redsgirl is here to put Red in his place!

Gave you a 9 earlier redsgirl, but was on the other thread.

Think Tom needs to cook the dinner next week so we can see what 10/10 looks like.

Wonderful.......

Don't tell them I said so Maureen, but all my girls, including the granddaughters are excellent housekeepers. We never go short of a hot meal, clean clothes, or a warm bed, and if need be, they can (and do) go out to work and earn a living.

They do all this with such consummate ease that it would be easy to take it for granted, but I don't. I'm immensely, immeasurably proud of them. Their husbands, existing and still to come, should thank their lucky stars every day for their good fortune. I know I do.

That is so nice Tom.

Or Tom wanting dinner tonight.
