Guest guest Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hello everyone. Just wondering if anyone had a vegan Yorkshire pudding recipe? I was thinking maybe some silken tofu & flour? Just curious 2 hear if anyone else had any suggestions. Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I found one recipe online for a vegan version of this classic British dish. Here's the URL: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Yorkshire_Pudding_(Vegan) <http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Yorkshire_Pudding_%28Vegan%29>. It looks easy to make. I just gotta say that I love British idioms and ways of speaking. It's always fun to learn more, and to compare British speech with American. The two languages don't always translate! Once I was at a dinner party with a British couple. I mentioned " falling off the wagon " and got a blank stare. I proceeded to bore -- er, instruct -- them with where that American idiom came from -- Carrie Nation, the temperance wagon, and all that. You fall off the wagon if you start return to some behavior you're trying to quit doing, from drinking to eating too much to watching too much TV. So I hope you don't mind if I point out that " pud " is an American slang word for something that gentlemen have -- something they pull, I believe.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 We do make vegan Yorkshire puddings, but they are usually pretty heavy - they do taste okay though. I'll sort out the recipe and post it. Jo , he_is_buried_in_the_backyard wrote: > > Hello everyone. Just wondering if anyone had a vegan Yorkshire pudding recipe?

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 LOL - the differences amuse us too :-) In American films people say they 'are pissed' - presumably, when taken in context, meaning they are annoyed. In England being pissed means being drunk. If you are annoyed you are 'pissed off'.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hi Trish Must admit I thought " falling off the wagon " had reached all parts of the UK. I've certainly heard it used plenty. Didn't know about the " interesting " translation of puds!

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hi Jo For the recipe you use, I've found it rises a little better if you add a tablespoon of egg replacer to the mix. It's still quite heavy, but a little better!

I don't know -- it was just fun for me to learn that our languages were so different. An English coworker of my partner's taught us a terrific idiom when he said someone was a " spare. " The entire phrase is " a spare prick at a wedding. " Now that's one heck of an idiom! Talk about being redundant. Cheers, Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
