Having spent ages describing it to an Aussie I was forced to conclude they just haven't discovered it yet. Anyone know what it's called in other countries???

In the US, (even in California and NY, lol) we call it yorkshire pudding. An explanation might be, to someone who's mssed the experience is - it's similar to a popover and made with the pan drippings from prime rib/roast.

I actually come from Yorkshire but now live in the USA and they have Yorkshire Pud here, it's called by the same name here: "Yorkshire Pudding", some places may also refer to them as a "popover".

Yorkshire pudding is an English savoury dish similar to the American popover, and made from batter. It is most often served with roast beef, or any meal in which there is gravy, or on its own. Gravy is considered an essential accompaniment by many. It may have originated in Yorkshire, but is popular across the whole country.

We've made it at our house in the U.S. for at least 100 years, and always just called it "Yorkshire pudding" or "Yorkshire puds".
The most recent emigrant from England to the U.S. in my family was in 1638.
So I was very surprised when I was out to supper with people I worked with and it was served and I was the only one who knew what it was.
So it may not be all that well known any more what with all the prepared artificial foods, fast foods, half-fast foods... As for me and my house, we will have slow food, thank you very much.

I have found recipes for "individual yorkshire puddings" that refer to them as "popovers."

Called popovers in America but I have never had it. Doesn't seem very healthy.
p.s. For those who vote "no" to my answer, if you think these things are healthy then step on your scale and answer again.

It's kind of like a popover and when you put sausages in it it's called toad in the hole.
