Ideas for a cracking Sunday lunch in Solihull

How long have they been around?

A lot longer than you might think. It’s said they’ve been around since the 1700s, although apparently they used to be flat, unlike the beautiful puffed up pieces of perfection you’ll find sitting on your plate in a good restaurant.

Get creative

They’re typically an accompaniment to a roast beef dinner put people have been known to do all kind of strange things with them! In Japan they serve them with cheese or jam (so we hear!?), while in the Netherlands they can be served flat with berries and sugar. You can stuff them with all kinds of different fillings like mashed potato, sausages and gravy; a fried breakfast with bacon and eggs; or experiment with Indian flavours or vegetarian combinations. More traditionally, make a huge Yorkshire pudding and make it with sausages, to create a toad in the hole. We’ve made one with baked apples in too which was delicious.
