“Would anyone like to try the Yorkshire pudding wrap at the Christmas market?” These are surely the magic words that everyone wants to hear their line manager say in the morning. Despite feeling qualified for the task and, frankly, quite hungry, I hesitated before raising my hand - because I’d been let down by Sunday roast-themed street food before.
A few years ago, long before the cost of living crisis, I purchased a similarly styled wrap from a food market in London, and £12 poorer, the disappointment and regret I felt after consuming that cold, dry, tasteless lump left me with only negative feelings toward the concept of using a Yorkshire pudding as a receptacle for an entire roast dinner.
But with the prices of food and energy rising, a home-cooked Sunday roast is becoming an increasingly rare treat, and many of us will be forgoing a traditional Christmas dinner this year. So, excited at the prospect of an unexpectedly extravagant weekday lunch, I ventured off into the winter wonderland of Broadmead Christmas market in search of its notoriously popular Yorkshire pudding wrap.
