The most recent video posted on one of my favorite youtube channels (Scott Rea Project) depicts the making of what Scott states is a trendy new thing in London eateries: the [Yorkshire pudding wrap](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OggnyNYoG4). He first makes a big sheet of Yorkshire pudding in a flat baking tray. Then he cooks up some steak and vegetables, and rolls up the carved steak and vegies and some gravy in a rectangle of Yorkshire pud. This looks fantastic to me and I mean to try making some with some tri-tip steak I have in the freezer. U.K. Dopers, are you seeing this new dish in any of your restaurants? ---

It hasn’t made it this far north. The dish needs potatoes - so serve with a bag of chips. ---

They served it at a food festival a few weeks ago in York. Was quite popular (long queues), but I can’t imagine it being all that easy to eat, considering the gravy factor. ---

Nah, it’s easy to eat. It’s hard to eat _neatly_, but that’s probably part of the appeal. ---

The farmers market in Hampstead makes them. I had the roast chicken dinner one last weekend…chicken, squash puree, little roasted potatoes, stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce, folded over and grilled like a panini. It was awesome. It was my stand-in for Canadian Thanksgiving since I went to a movie that night and left hubby with pasta leftovers! ---

The idea of a pudding wrap sounds good, though the particular variant in that video turns me off. But the ones I’m seeing searching for it, with a vegetable selection I’d more associate with pudding (carrots, green beans) and keeping the sauce to the gravy (gravy+mustard sounds gross, although they both go well with beef alone, and what even is the grey stuff he’s adding in the video - a different variety of mustard?), as well as more meat…yeah, those look good. ---

I thought the gray was drippings from cooking the meat. Such a waste! ---

Knowing Scott Rea, the gray stuff was drippings. He’s an old-school British cook and loves him some fat. He also heavily promotes Colman’s mustard over “that rubbishy Dijon”. Yeah, looks like cabbage he’s rolling up in there. I think I’d prefer some baby spinach leaves, and a good bit more beef. ---

This sounds awesome, with a few tweaks as noted. I’ll have to try this. ---

What you guys call Yorkshire pudding, we call popovers (although yours is made in a large pan, and we make ours in small cups). Either way, this sounds awesome. What took so long for someone to think of this? ---

Despite being aware that the English invented a language they cannot speak, and knowing that British “pudding” means desert in English, I expected Yorkshire pudding to be [American pudding](https://www.loavesanddishes.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Banana-Pudding-4-760-@loavesanddishes.net_.jpg). ---

Black pudding is delicious with fried or poached egg. ---

Assuming you’re still in Aberdeen, Jacks steakhouse does one on a sunday and a couple of other places have had them for popups. They’re ok, but to be honest more of a gimmick than anything else. The yorkshire pudding gets soggier as time goes on, so it’s more akin to a crepe than than a YP by the time you’re halfway into it.
