Yum...
Do many of you eat Toad-in-the-Hole? It's yorkshire pudding with sauages in the middle, covered in gravy (sometimes onion gravy).
For those of you who find yorkies bland, use them to mop up gravy (the real stuff made from meat fats, not granules with water) when you have a roast dinner. They're so tasty!

Yes, some of us "yanks" eat yorkshire pud. My family happens to adore them, so when I make roast I have to make absolutly dozens of them so they can all have their fill. We eat them with the beef gravy, the young set eat them plain, and also with jam and butter. I don't know that "yanks" is offensive, though we are not actually all Yankees. People who come from the south would be more likely to prefer "rebel" to "yank". I suppose it would be the equivalent of us calling all of you Brits. By the way, I don't think you did invent hot dogs, they actually come from Germany, and the term came from the St. Louis World Fair at the turn of the last century.
Americans eat a great variety of foods from all over the world, it isn't all burgers and pizza. My family likes sausages and mash, sticky puddings, steamed puddings, and fish & chips. My husband and I both like Wheetabix, and I am hopelessly addicted to salad cream on tomatos alone or salad, and dark chocolate digestive biscuits. Though I can't say I care for beans or spaghetti on toast, and whitebait you can keep.
Addition- We don't necessarily consider it an insult to be called a yank. We are quite able to tell when it's merely a term of address and when it's used as an insult. I've been refered to as a yank and took no offense, as none was intended. I've also been called a yank in the same tone and manner one would have used to call me other things, and I took it in the manner it was meant. I suppose it's easier to call out Hey Yank, than it would be to yell Hey American!. All depends on the use and intent. So I wouldn't get to hung up on the term, we certainly don't.

1 - Some "Yanks" eat Yorkshire Pudding. We are very diverse here.
2 - I'm afraid the British did not invent hot dogs, though I would imagine you had your share of sausages.
3 - Yes, "Yank" is rather offensive.
4 - Didn't your mummy teach you not to call people names?

I devour yorkshire pudding and when I had my eating position we served it with our accurate rib. i'm in Joplin, Missouri united states. Now days human beings do no longer opt to make an attempt to make it. definite it is an English dish notwithstanding it isn't a dish that you locate outdoors households with solid ties to England. the actual incontrovertible truth that the drippings from the cooking of beef is in touch some anybody is grew to change into of for health motives. it is an outstanding area dish it truly is not in any respect use anymore in the country.

Yes, we eat Yorkshire puddings. If you go to a good restaurant, here in the States, you'll find Yorkshire puddings served with prime rib of beef. Prime rib is a very tender cut of beef. I like mine "medium rare", which means pink inside and juicy. I like my prime rib with horseradish sauce, and I like to dip the Yorkshire pudding in the juice from the prime rib, as one does with a French dip sandwich.
Oh, man, now I've made myself hungry for some prime rib. I'll have to look in my budget and see if I can spare enough for a good dinner, tonight.

I doubt it! They won't know what a Yorkshire pudding is, they probably think it's a sweet dish served with custard.

Yes, but it's not as popular here.And as for hot dogs no you didn't,but with all the weird sausages you eat I'm sure you have something equally as repulsive.

I am a new zealander and we are quite british by heritage yet I have only eaten it once or twice in my lifetime.
