Yorkshire puddings are entirely all right but they're not top tier. That's like saying bread is top tier, it depends entirely on what you can buy it with. No one has just the Yorkshire pudding on a plate that's not a meal.

Welsh rarebit though is. That should be at the top of the list, if I ever go to a cafe and they have that on the menu I will 100% definitely have it every single time.

Yeah, why is Yorkshire Pudding at the top but Toad-in-the-hole is halfway down, when they are the same thing, except one is a proper meal and the other isn't?

I've never had a good Yorkshire pudding. They are always disappointing. It's irrelevant how much of the rest of your sunday roast you eat with it, it always makes the rest of the roast taste worse than it would had you not wasted your time with the Yorkshire pudding.

Wow thems fighting words. But i'm thinking you've perhaps been eating the wrong ones? I've had some truly dire ones, its not like its a recipie impossible to mess up, but most of them i've had are really amazing. Crispy sides, slightly soft bottom is the ideal imo, but you also can't make up for bad ones just by the cooking, it's also what they're made of

I've had a few Sunday roasts (in the UK) in my time, and been to good pubs and bad across a variety of English locales to have them, they are always shit. Have even tried homemade ones by someone who everyone says makes great Yorkshire puddings. Disappoint always ensued. It's always the same, a mostly tasteless piece of batter that takes more from a meal than it adds.
