This famous food in Yorkshire is enjoyed all across the country, usually on a Sunday alongside a traditional roast dinner (Sunday lunch). A Yorkshire pudding is a savory pudding made from a batter that’s baked in the oven. These chewy treats are best enjoyed with lashings of gravy (homemade, neverfrom granules). The Sunday roast is one of my favori...
Yorkshire has 45 miles (72 km) of stunning coastline that features lots of little fishing towns and villages such as Scarborough and Whitby. You’ll not fail to notice the crab and lobster pots coming off the boats in the harbors up and down the county, and just like Cornwall, Yorkshire is famous for its shellfish and seafood. You can enjoy a dresse...
With so much open pasture and farmland across Yorkshire, it’s little surprise that sheep farming is big in the region, and as such, locally reared lamb is one of the most traditional dishes you can find here. The best way to enjoy a piece of lamb is as part of a Sunday roast (with Yorkshire puddings of course). The best place for a Sunday roast (as...
This famous cheese has been produced in the North Yorkshire village of Wensleydale since at least the 14th Century when Cistercian monks moved to the region from Roquefort in France(also famed for its cheese). As with Stilton, Champagne, and Dijon mustard, Yorkshire Wensleydale can only be called as such if it’s produced in the region. One of my fa...
Yorkshire, and York in particular, is famous for its confectionary and has been the home of confectioners Rowntree for over 160 years. Some of their most famous treats include Jelly Babies, Smarties, and Kit Kat. Many of these sweets and chocolates are exported around the world – I was even able to enjoy a Kit Kat with my tea in China! The Rowntree...
I absolutely love the flavor of licorice which is made from the root of the glycyrrhiza glabra(sweet root) plant. Although the plant isn’t native to the UK (it can be found across western Asia, north Africa, and southern Europe), it was in Yorkshire that licorice, as we know it today, was first produced. The town of Pontefract was once the center o...
Rhubarb is another famous food of Yorkshire and is enjoyed as a dessert across the country. Rhubarb and custard is one of my favorite childhood puddings with the tart taste of rhubarb offset by creamy custard. However, like licorice, rhubarb isn’t a native plant of the UK – it actually originates in Siberia in far eastern Russia. The cold and wet c...
The British Burrito is the colloquial name for a large Yorkshire pudding filled with the usual ingredients of a roast dinner (roast beef, mashed potatoes, carrots, and gravy). This large roast dinner wrap has gained popularity in recent years and is certainly a treat I enjoy when in Yorkshire. The dish originated in the Yorkshire town of Halifax an...
One of my Christmas favorites is a hunk of York ham served cold with salad on Boxing Day. This ham is made using dry curing techniques, though, unlike other cured hams such as Parma ham, it’s then cooked, usually by boiling. People often incorrectly attribute York ham to New York, but its origin is in York, England. Although a York ham is a traditi...
