My assumption as well.

 

That and they are burnt, which the breakfast thread shows he has form in. 

Most people who read the foodie and breakfast threads will know which ones are lifey’s. I like the look of his food, some of it too overdone for me, but on the whole it looks very nice.

In my opinion, this is what Yorkshire puddings should look like. (A) aren’t far off these. They’re supposed to be crispy on the outside and shouldn’t be uniform in shape. If you want the latter, buy Aunt Bessie’s.

The shape wasn't the issue for me, it was how overdone, they look completely dried out.  I'd rather have Aunt Bessie’s than a pile of dust.

Have to say A. The fat was obviously hotter when the batter was poured in, resulting in a crispier, but less uniform-shaped yorkie. B are still good though.

I'd also say that neither of them are overcooked, but that might just be my taste.

18 posts in 11 years is some quality lurkage

A.

 

And I live in Yorkshire so I must be right.

Yep, as I said, I prefer the look of A but they are fucking burnt, let’s be honest here. They’d have been perfect If they’d come out of the oven 5-10 mins earlier.

I presumed that Lifey's were the top ones. If they'd been cooked a bit more like this (his looked a little overdone), they'd have got my vote. I could eat the whole tray of these.

Once had a lad in Wetherspoons take the piss out of me for wearing shorts on Christmas Day, whilst I had a couple of pints before going home for my dinner. This lad was having his in there. My parting shot was along the lines of “Yeah, sound, enjoy your boil in the bag turkey, Aunt Bessie’s Yorkshires and frozen roasties, you blert”.

You're right, but A didn't look like this.

 

Maybe we need a cross-section to really judge. Weight up the fluffy middle/crisp outside layer ratio that way.

A are not dissimilar, just cooked for longer.

The puds in your pic were perfect mate. Not at all similar to sample A that looked like you would break your teeth on.

Before opening this up I immediately had in my mind Sean Bean or Harvey Smith.

This is correct

That's why you want them nice and soft so they absorb maximum gravy

You don't want them hard and dusty as that repels the goodness

I'm just going to pretend I haven't seen this

Obviously nobody in their right mind would add beans to a Yorkie in preference to gravy

Depravity on that scale was stamped out during the Inquisition

Voted B. Exhibit A looked like a fungal toenail growth.

Anybody getting the impression that Lifeys brother will never get to hear the result of this poll , it will be buried like the Tory Russian donors dossier.

I'm waiting for the twist - there is no brother.
