With all of the conflict, political unrest, economic downturn and global warming stresses, this article caught my eye, especially as I am an honorary Yorkshireman. My father was a Yorkshire-born and bred, but I lived probably 60% of my life in Kingston Upon Hull…evidently, that would also allow me to play for the Yorkshire Cricket Team…go figure lol.

As you will see from the images above, and the chef’s recipe concurs, these magical edibles are basically Yorkshire Puddings (not sure if the critics will frown on me putting basically adjacent to Yorkshire Pudding haha).
