Just wrong

Yorkshire puddings are great, right? On a Sunday, in a nice proper pub, with roast beef, and loads of gravy. Or maybe at your gran's house. They are what makes Britain great. Now the Americans have discovered them, and are ruining them. The New York Times tweeted this week about a "large, fluffy pancake" you can serve with jam or fruit. But they aren't fooling anyone. That's a Yorkshire pudding. https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/995262839966371842 Of course, Brits were quick to point this out. https://twitter.com/hrtbps/status/995295352566755328 https://twitter.com/hauarto/status/995319032365703169 https://twitter.com/TheGrampusWife/status/995384423821520896 https://twitter.com/jsfox8/status/995600920418406400 https://twitter.com/CuppaBrew/status/995295766842404864 First the chip butty, now the Yorkshire pub. What are they going to 'discover' next?
