PEOPLE in Oxfordshire have voted overwhelmingly in favour of having a Yorkshire Pudding with a Christmas dinner.
The topic has been widely debated on social media with some arguing that a Yorkshire Pudding should be exclusive to a Sunday roast - or even a particular meat.
So we asked our readers: is there room for one your plate tomorrow?
Here’s what you said:
DONNA WHEELER: “Definitely, I can’t have gravy without one.”
DONNA FESSEY: “Yorkshire’s with every roast dinner whatever the meat.”
EMMA MAGOO: “Always room for a Yorkshire pudding, homemade are the best.”
VICTORIA ASHBY: “Yes, yes, yes!”
PAUL GALLEY: “Always.”
LISA WILLIAMS: “Definitely, as a Yorkshire person it has to be done.”
RACHAEL HELEN: “It’s not a roast without Yorkies.”
DAVID WARD: “Hell yes.”
KATHY COSHAN, PAUL GALLEY, CLARE WARREN, MANDA WINSTONE, VAL COLLINS and DEBBIE WIDDOWS also said they would be leaving room for a Yorkshire pudding with their dinner tomorrow.
DAVID CAMERON-YOUNG: “Of course.
“It’s only a posh roast dinner.”
