Since we're on this delicious topic, does anyone have a fab recipe for Yorkshire pudding with sausages and onion gravy? My friend in the States loves Yorkshire pudding and makes it regularly. NR told me about the addition of sausage and onion gravy, which I relayed to my friend. He's now hel_l bent on making it but wants an authentic, homemade, proven-delicious recipe. Can we have a bit of competition here? 1st prize . . .

I haven't got a recipe but a good variation on that theme is a giant yorkshire pudding with a kind of a beef (or whatever filling you fancy) stew in the middle. It's gor-ge-ous

I crave for my bf's ..................... Not too fast guys. That isn't what I mean. I meant, my bf's you know, Map-Reading skills! He's so ###### good at reading maps. :-) I can't keep-up. Ah well.......... I'll tag along and follow him in the 'game mini-map' for awhile!

Interesting post GF especially since it's become a 'food loving' thread!

I get cravings for a descent cut of rib eye. If none available scotch filet will do. Cooked just enough that the blood is still fresh inside, almost tartare, but not quite. About 10 - 12 minutes in an oven at 180 degree C for a 1 kg piece usually does it. Add to that a rich & fatty gravy made the traditional way by mixing flower with meat drippings & a sprinkle of seasoning. Baked potatoes with butter, colemans extra hot mustard, cauliflower with a rich cheese sauce & voila. An oral orgasm.

Blasted.

Tippaporn you fcukling star! If I was a cocker spaniel I'd be humping with joy at the moment.

That is the most perfect selection. I'm starving & now I have saliva running on the bottom of my chin.

5 Star rating!

Help me out here. Be the judge of this. This is Mrs Beeton's recipe for Yorkshire pudding from 1900. Only problem is it's from NZ. Do they know how to cook there.

I'm assuming I'd then have to wash it down with some of this, but I've never seen this brand in BKK.

Thanks soundman, but all the same please stay away from my leg.

Help me out here. Be the judge of this. This is Mrs Beeton's recipe for Yorkshire pudding from 1901. Only problem is it's from NZ. Do they know how to cook there.

That recipe looks like it is from circa 1950!

Help me out here.

This is a BBC good food guide recipe Tip:-

Ingredients:-

½pint plain flour

½pint milk

6 eggs

a good pinch of salt

groundnut oil or sunflower oil

Method

1. Take a half pint glass and fill with plain flour, pour into a bowl. Fill the glass with milk and pour that into the bowl. Crack eggs into the glass until it's full and add those (about 6). Add a good pinch of salt and whisk thoroughly.

2. Rest the mix in the fridge for 15 minutes then sieve into a jug.

3. Heat the oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9.

4. Put your pudding tins (muffin tins for small puddings or individual Yorkie tins for large) in the oven for 3 minutes to heat up. Add a little groundnut or sunflower oil to each tin then half-fill them with pudding mix.

5. Cook for 5-7 minutes then turn the oven down to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and cook for another 10-15 minutes. When they are crisp and cooked through, turn the puddings upside down and cook for another 2-3 minutes to brown the bottoms.

Traditional British Toad In The Hole Recipe

- 8 British Sausages (pork perferably)

- 1 onion, sliced

- 300ml / half pint of milk

- 2 eggs

- pinch of salt

- 100g (4oz) of plain flour

Fry the sausages & onion until sausages just cooked (not well done) and put aside. Reserve some of the fat and juices extracted during the frying process.

Preheat your oven to around 200 centigrade (400 Fahrenheit).

Make a well in flour & add eggs, mix in & add the milk, a little at a time.

Beat together the milk, eggs and flour until you have a thick sticky batter mixture with lots of air bubbles. Rest in fridge for about 15 mins.

Pour around 3 tbsp of the sausage fats and juices into a yorkshire pudding tin or other small roasting tin.

Place the sausages & onion in a single layer on the bottom of the baking tray and place into the oven to heat the oil for about 5 -10 mins.

Pour over the yorkshire pudding batter mix and return to the oven.

Bake for around 25 - 40 minutes until the batter has risen and turned a golden brown. A knife or skewer put into the center of pudding should come out clean.

Serve immediately with roast or mashed potatoes, vegetables & onion gravy for a hearty traditional Great British meal.

Ah, you're a dear love, NR. Thanks for that!!!

I suppose you could crave toad in the hole! I have not had it in years...

Quite honestly, I don't know how kinky you are, but what you have outlined is a recipe for a great big mess in the bedroom! And, for the life of me, what the heck can you do with a sliced onion? Sausages I can understand, milk, butter, lard, flour or even sugar, but an onion?

Blistered.

I suppose you could crave toad in the hole! I have not had it in years...

I don't crave Toad-in-the-hole. I make it fairly regularly.

OK, I'll tell you all.... Tip & I had a secret assignation a couple of weeks ago. We went out for lunch & then went to see the monkeys - along with the lovely & charming Mrs. Tip, I hasten to add! Not all TV meetups get photographed & blogged in Bedders!

During lunch, I mentioned the old Toad, & Tip wanted a recipe, which I promptly forgot. Hence the subtle reminder & me eventually coming through on my promise!

Crave? I'm sorry, I'm still on that old craving of a good night's sleep sans les chiens in crisp, white, soft bedding... bliss!

I have just sated one of my cravings. I have played Black Cow by Steely Dan three times. Off for the fourth !!

Not all TV meetups get photographed & blogged in Bedders!

Yes they do, NR!!

NR, myself & Mrs. Tip having a spot of lunch. Well, perusing the menu here. I believe that's NR's arm. Yes, it must be. Mrs. Tip's is darker.

This is one of NR, myself and Mrs. Tip looking out over the water. We're the ones standing behind the camera.

Here's one of NR, myself and Mrs. Tip feeding the monkeys just before NR & Mrs. Tip came into view.

And another of Mrs. Tip and me sitting at the restaurant before we sat down later in the day.

Sorry to expose us in public, NR.

And BTW, it was an enjoyable afternoon for certain, NR.

I was convinced those would be genuine photos & whilst cursing you & waiting for them to download (I'm still on dial-up - sloooow!), all I could think of was "Was I wearing make-up that day?" Good to see you only got my arm!

Yes, it was a lovely afternoon, thanks both of you.

Good to see you only got my arm!

I thought the picture of you at the restaurant was quite stunning, NR. Not every woman has an arm like that. Jetty and MiGgy should be green with envy.

I crave that little things leave me alone. I just want people who don't know me, only want something from me, or are just in my way to F&^^%&F. I have got too much to do as is and little things p!ss me off.

Yo Bops, How goes it? Have not seen you on here for ages. From the above post sounds like you need to chill!

Ok, I have a craving now for a drink I had in HK. $75HK a pop & it's non-alcoholic!

Basically it's a lemon soda, but with very little sugar. It's got lemongrass in too, and sliced chillis. Really unique taste - yum!

Edit - I had a craving, not a cralving...

I am chilling. Really I am, it's just that many things get in the way. So, I have to restart the chill. That chaps my hide!!

Everybody be cool, you be cool. Remember that movie?

I remember the line but not the movie!

Seth (George Clooney): Everybody be cool. YOU - be cool.

From Dusk Till Dawn. Cool movie!

Come to think about it, that movie had a lot of great lines:

Santanico Pandemonium: I'm not gonna drain you completely. You're gonna turn for me. You'll be my slave. You'll live for me. You'll eat bugs because I order it. Why? Because I don't think you're worthy of human blood. You'll feed on the blood of stray dogs. You'll be my foot stool. And at my command, you'll lick the dog shit from my boot heel. Since you'll be my dog, your new name will be "Spot". Welcome to slavery.

Seth: No, thanks. I've already had a wife.

[shoots her]

Seth: I may be a bastard, but I'm not a fcukin' bastard.

Richie: The Ranger's taking a piss. Why don't I just go there, blow his head off and get outta here.

Pete Bottoms: Don't do that! Look, you asked me to act natural, and I'm acting as natural - in fact, under the circumstances, I think I ought get a fcukin' Academy Award for how natural I'm acting.

[Richard day-dreaming]

Kate: Richie, would you do me a favor and eat my pussy for me... please?

Richie: Uhh... sure.

Kate: Are you okay?

Seth: Peachy, Kate. The world's my oyster, except for the fact that I just rammed a wooden stake in my brother's heart because he turned into a vampire, even though I don't believe in vampires. Aside from that unfortunate business, everything's hunky-dory.

[after Richard blows up Benny's World of Liquor]

Seth: Low profile. Do you know what the words "low profile" mean?

Kate: Where are you taking us?

Richie: Mexico.

Kate: What's in Mexico?

Richie: Mexicans.

Seth: [to Hostage Gloria] You. Plant yourself in that chair.

Hostage Gloria: What are you planning on doing with...

Seth: I said plant yourself. Plants don't talk.

BTW, that's one of the few movies I bought the soundtrack to. Awesome.

I loved Chech's (sp?) sales pitch about pussy.

So, funny,

If you can find cheaper pussyy anywhere, F^%K it!!
