I'm celebrating the best bloody county in the world by going to the pub.

Somewhat related: I am going to a place near me this weekend that claims they serve authentic English food and would like to order some Yorkshire pudding(Never had some before). What makes it really good? Just want to judge theirs correctly haha.

For me the best ones are slightly crispy rather than stodgy, also quite like it when some seasoning is added, mustard etc…Size is also important

at 1yr old we take our children to Eston Hills and leave them there for the night. The following morning, if you survive, yer mam will collect you and whisper the secret of the recipe to you ..... or, that's what my mam did with me ....

Is Middlesbrough in Yorkshire?

 

[Madeinbrazil]

Was classed as part of North Riding of Yorkshire til 1972, so if you were born in the Boro before then your Yorkshire.

I was born in York so I'm definitely Yorkshire, but definitely NOT Leeds. UTB

Main thing is to make sure they're real ones, made properly, not out of a bag.

Is Middlesbrough in Yorkshire?

Yes Middlesbrough, although a unitary authority it is and remains in the ceremonial boundaries of Yorkshire,

Is Middlesbrough in Yorkshire?

As Yorkshire as puddings, rhubarb and Sir Geoffrey. I feel for our Durham cousins from north of the river, having to support Sunderland and all that

I had to celebrate early by spending a couple of nights in North Yorkshire (Oldstead) and West Yorkshire (Linton and Stockeld park) and then heading back to London for a meeting today, rather than getting to sit in the sunny garden drinking wine.

@Cornholio I never found good Yorkshire puddings in the US, due to the difference in flour between our plain flour and your multi purpose flour - they were always pretty flat and stodgy.

Bizarrley the best ones I ever found were in a hotel called The Betsy in Miami, and were billed a bread rather than a YP - they were at least airy and risen somewhat (photo of them from Tripadvisor)

I was born in 1969 with Middlesbrough Teesside on my birth certificate so you're wrong on that

I recommend celebrating by watching some of, what is quite possibly, the greatest TV ever made.
