I ate it once. It was foul.

I don't see how people can think that Yorkshire Pudding is foul. I can understand why people might think that Black Pudding, or salami, or curry, or tuna is foul, but Yorkshire Pudding has to be one of the least offensive tastes and textures you can get!

Well said Brewnog, people like Arildno need educating.

I'm not sure they need educating. I just think they need to try a decent, well-cooked, Yorkshire Pudding.

That's WHY it's foul. It's practically tasteless. Just like kiwi. (Besides, kiwi has a poisonous green colour; I never eat poison-green food).

No, it means something like, "The heart has its reasons, which reason knows nothing of." It's from Pascal's Pensées. :smile:

You realize he was making the argument that reason cannot know God, thus justifying taking the leap of faith because "the heart has its reasons," right?

Proper yorkie pudding is not tasteless, if cooked with the beef fat, it has a
wonderful crispy crunchy out and a soft inner.

Did you look at Welsh boy's The Family Ness link? Twas an amazing 80s cartoon about the Nessies. Lovely stuff, almost as good as Jimbo and the Jet Set.

I know I've posted this before but I can't find it... Anyway, Deepak Chopra tells it ~ like this: There was a study of the number of tactile contacts made while in a public setting, between mates [married] as a function of culture. Guessing at the actual values here... Couples from India made contact, on the average, about thirty times per hour. Couples from China touched about fifteen times per hour. In the US, it was close to five times every hour. And as for the British couples, we're still waiting!

No, I just remembered seeing it in my dictionary several years ago. I'm reading a bit of it now.
