Damn we're good;  The Yorkshire pudding has been named the nation's favourite regional food. It beat the Cornish pasty and the Melton Mowbray pork pie to come first in its category at the Good Housekeeping food awards. It was the first time the favourite regional food had been included in the annual awards. Entries were nominated by Good Housekeeping readers. The magazine's cookery editor Emma Marsden said the Yorkshire pudding was a regional food with nationwide appeal. "It is something people have grown up with," she said. "They are a favourite Sunday lunch accompaniment to roast beef. That's why people love them - and because they're so easy to make." European campaign Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce was named the favourite store cupboard ingredient. Chocolate was named the sexiest food, with the Green & Black's brand voted the top indulgent food. Winners were picked by a judging panel which included editor Louise Chunn, M&S chief executive Stuart Rose, restaurateur Prue Leith and Aggie MacKenzie of Channel 4's 'How Clean Is Your House?'. Vale of York MP Anne McIntosh, who is campaigning for Yorkshire puddings to be given the same protected status as French champagne or Greek feta cheese, said: "The people of Yorkshire are rightly and fiercely proud of the Yorkshire pudding. "It is something which has been cherished and perfected for centuries in Yorkshire." Randomness factor |

How a piece of bland batter can beat the delights of a good pork pie or pasty I will never know.  |

I like Yorkshire pudings - but I think for versatility of product pork pie wins - I mean, Yorkshire puddings are hardly a snack are they?  Legend has it that the reason my parents got married was that my mum, a southerner, could make cracking yorkshire puddings! And 34 years later they're still happily married!  |

You can eat Yorkshire's cold Billy, so they are a snack as well- versatility |

I like Yorkshires, but I don't think they're that great - couldn't have one on its own; I'd have to have it with something else to add flavour.
I think my favourite regional food is probably Lincolnshire sausages...

I think my favourite regional food is probably Lincolnshire sausages... Aberdeen Angus beef is quality too (even better with Yorkshires ) Very true! I used to go for pub lunches at college (was in one day a week, at work for the other four), and they served this really good half-pound Aberdeen Angus beefburger, topped with lettuce, cheese, bacon and mayo. Best burger I've ever had! I'm amazed I'm not a little porker now actually; I ate so many of them... |
