We ate Yorkshire pudding in York. And we weren't fans. Too doughy. Olie preferring the mashed potato to wipe up the gravy rather than the traditional batter cake. And it wasn't our first time either. But it seemed like the thing to do whilst in the city that lent its name to the food. Our first Yorkshire pudding experience was part of the dish eaten in Oxford "Toad in Hole" (sausage inside a Yorkshire pudding). The pub, "Eagle and Child" is definitely more famous as the drinking den of authors JR Tolkien and CS Lewis than pub chain food.
