Yorkshire Pudding

When we think of "pudding" we normally think of a sweet dessert. In the 1800's a pudding referred to a meat based dish. Meat was expensive and instead of being part of the main course it would be served before it. It was often served as a filling appetizer and with gravy. 

Yorkshire pudding was derived from the pudding being cooked below the meat where the juices could drip down and be absorbed by the pastry.
