Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[echoscout]

I certainly missed this yesterday, YorkshireMan heroically diving into a giant, gravy-filled Yorkshire pudding!

Is that Tool Man diving in?

Happy Yorkshire Day, Everybutty!

Good to see you GT!

In the mail today we recieved a lovely card from Jack Black . Shown here stuck to the fridge with a Yorkshire pudding recipe - which is as close as we will get to Yorkshire pudding today (high was 99° F today - we're not cranking the oven to high!). Thanks for the card, Jack!

However, we did make some chip butties. Bread, ghee (clarified butter, since butter no longer plays nicely with me), crosscut fries (it's what we had on hand), Henderson's. Since we're Californians in California, we had a steak salad and a fried tomato as the sides, then washed it down with Yorkshire's own Sam Smith Imperial Stout.

Very nice.

Happy Friday Guardians !

 

[Peregrin]

but I thought I'd go in Gary's ( Peregrin ) favourite York pub, The Maltings, and get a few pics for him

I had bangers and mash with extra gravy at our favorite Irish pub the other day. I'm always reminded of the excellent bangers and mash I had when we visited the Maltings. I'm glad to hear it's still around.

LOL! Great to see you here Gary I was thinking about you, and your missus, when I was in York yesterday. Naturally, I was going to go in The Blue Bell, but I thought I'd go in Gary's ( Peregrin ) favourite York pub, The Maltings, and get a few pics for him. I hope your wife is better now

Thanks, Jack; felt obligated to show up at least for Yorkshire Day!
My wife only really had one or two miserable days at the start of her COVID infection. But she periodically has been using the home tests for COVID (last week Sunday, this past Monday, and yesterday afternoon), and keeps testing positive. On the other hand, I didn't show symptoms until last week Wednesday and was quite under-the-weather through last Saturday, but have been improving from Sunday onward and tested negative yesterday when my wife insisted I take a test.

Good to hear you hold forth Leon!

Looks delicious. That KEOWN lamb makes me want to "skip the light fandango and turn some cartwheels cross the floor..."

Good to see you GT!

Thanks, Dwight. I'm not sure how I have LESS free time now that I've "completely retired" from my former occupation, but I can no longer seem to keep up with both the Totin' Today thread and the Guardians thread, so the Guardians thread has been getting short shrift from me for quite some time (only 2 posts from me in the past 2 YEARS , although I'll sometimes spend a couple of weeks at a time just "lurking" silently among the Guardians).
I enjoyed your "Whiter Shade of Pale" reference!

Yeah, I think you really need a hot Yorkshire Range to make great Yorkshire pudding - and a good recipe, care, and experience of course!

Wonder what trans-Atlantic shipping would be on one of those? I do think the high heat is a critical component, along with the drippings. In my non-native, non-expert opinion of course! I'll blame those two items for my middling results.

That favorite pub wouldn’t happen to be Coleman’s would it?

The Survivor!

Is that Tool Man diving in?

I think he'd make a bigger splash!

Fabulous photo Dwight

Happy Friday Guardians !

That's definitely a looker Steve

Nice to see that one again

LOL! I think you are quite right mate, you really need to be cooking a beef roast at the same time

I like the added 'pints' factor! I was pleased to see a Leeds restaurant get some recognition by this guy yesterday

Thought about you when I was in York yesterday mate


It's a shame they hadn't opened, when I took that pic. I don't know what it's like now, but when I was a kid, the queue snaked out the door, all day. British fish and chip shops have a very specific layout, with a high counter, containing salt and vinegar, and wooden forks. They were smaller in those days, and the Two Steps is a typical size, just a terraced house, with the business being done in what would otherwise be the living room. The frying area took up most of the space, with room for a single, or sometimes double, line of people. They were run by families, who lived at the back, and upstairs, in the remainder of the house

The fascinating story of Sheffield's oldest fish and chip shop, which is one of the world's longest-running

Fish and chips is one of Britain’s greatest contributions to the world, and few places do it better than Two Steps in Sheffield.

Interesting article about 2 steps, thanks for posting. Sad about the butchers closing after 80 years.
