Unpopular Opinions #21

My grandmother would make Yorkshire puddings the size of a dinner plate and they’d be filled with onion gravy. That was the starter before the roast

Agree. My son always has them with chilli. It's a top combination.

I am definitely doing Yorkshires next time we have a chilli

This is such a quintessentially British discussion! (although discussion of foods like chilli with Yorkshires is probably bordering into the dreaded 'fusion' cuisine )

 

[thegirlscout]

that’s the baader-meinhof phenomenon!

I thought they were a terrorist group?!

In Yorkshire, Yorkshire puddings are eaten with everything. The kids have them with jam for pudding. They are cheap filler to be added to meals. I don't know where this werid rule that they are only for beef comes from, probably a middle class southerner. But food doesn't have rules, you eat what's nice. We have Yorkshire's with smoked haddock and parcely sauce .

I really don't get the appeal of Yorkshire puddings.

they are - the thing is named after them, iirc, after a number of people started reading about them. seeing articles about them etc just after learning of their existence:

What is the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon?

It feels uncanny, but is in fact all about how our attention works, says Anina Rich, Professor in Macquarie University's Department of Cognitive Science.

I really don’t get this hologram concert thing are they actually there or not and if they are not why would you go? (I can’t stand them either so wouldn’t want to go either way but it’s just bugging me)


Utterly cannot abide the man. Lives in a privileged world where he thinks no one needs to drive a vehicle but has no idea of the real world

I hate his well thought out quirky shirts. We get it, Jeremy, you’re an individual, but you look daft. If you bought your quirky shirts from a charity shop, I might have more respect.

I bleeping hate Abba, never liked them, never will. Even when I'm drunk I still can't stand that awful music!

That's rich coming from Cilla black

God, I want a giant Yorkshire pudding now! Mmmm , hot out of the baking tray, crispy.... gravy....

I don't think it's an unpopular opinion but maybe it is: the sides are the best bit of any roast so it doesn't matter what meat we are having, they all get yorkshires, stuffing, pigs in blankets, cauli cheese and the rest of the works. I'm not averse to also having both roasties and mash.

Also I hate ABBA, I hate Grease megamix, I hate all cheesy music, EXCEPT anything that has a dance routine like Macarena or Saturday Night, then I am THERE (greased lightning doesn't count but it is the best bit of the Megamix).

I quite like the idea of the Abbatars show

So do I! And by all accounts it's amazing.

Some friends have been and I quite fancy it. I know all the arguments about it not being real etc, but ABBA have always been innovative in their way and this is more of that. I think other older bands may be looking at this with interest.

I hate Bank Holidays. I always have.. If you are a temp then you are forced to take time off and not get paid for it as you havent done hours so to not get paid to have to sit at home and kill MORE time always annoyed me.. I'd rather work and have the money.. weekends are bad enough
