The most unusual food combinations with Yorkshire pudding according to Yorkshire Post readers including rice, ice cream, jam and an onion

Yorkshire puddings are made out of savoury ingredients and are usually served with savoury meals and food pairings like gravy or mashed potatoes.

The term ‘Yorkshire pudding’ was first used in print by a cookery writer, Hannah Glasse, in the 18th century.

In the beginning, the Yorkshire pudding was served as a first course with thick gravy to dull the appetite with cheap ingredients so that people would not eat so much of the more expensive meat in the next course.

The famous Yorkshire dish is typically served as part of a Sunday roast, bangers and mash or even a delicious curry. It is made from a mixture of eggs, flour and milk or water.
