The Famous Yorkshire Pudding

Today we left from King's Cross Station and took the train to York, where we explored one of England's most historic cities and ate one of its most famous foods. First we took a double-decker bus tour of the city and saw the ancient Clifford's Tower, the beautiful York Minister, and of course the Salvation Army building. Needless to say I was smiling from ear to ear! After all the sight seeing we were ready to try the famous Yorkshire pudding, which we found out is nothing at all like pudding. It's actually a cross between a popover and a soufflé. It's baked in beef drippings until it is golden brown and is then served with a cut of roast beef.

There it is in all its savory, beef dripped glory... yum! As you can tell by the picture below, it was easy to tell who loved the dish and who couldn't stand the sight.

After experiencing Yorkshire pudding, most of us went to the local ice cream shop for some dessert. Then we just spent the rest of our time in York feeding the geese, going to the museum, and having fun until the rain chased us back to the train station. Luckily, by the time we arrived back at Regents College, there was nothing but sunshine! Cheerio for now!
