I do love getting a rise out of people, as well as out of Yorkshire puddings ;-)

I meant a domestic row!

Why on earth would you? Maybe a visitor at a house couldn’t face eating it.

I fully understand why one of mine would be cast down the pan but these were cooked ones.

Caroline Report 24 Feb 2019 17:14

Seriously??....grease I get but why would you throw that down the drain...I assume it was in liquid form not fully cooked puds??

I had to look this up!!
'Water bosses have asked people not to flush unwanted Yorkshire puddings down the toilet after the roast dinner favourite blocked a sewer.!

I mean why?

I would like to say that I have only ever passed through Ipswich so it is not my fault that their drains were blocked with Yorkshire pudding.

A drain or dustbin would be the only logical place to put any Yorkshire that I have ever produced.

And God bless Aunt Bessie I say!
