Remember when Americans 'discovered' the chip butty and everyone in the UK had a good laugh about how silly they were for going wild over, what they called a 'Turkish sandwich stuffed with fries'? Funny, wasn't it?
However, they may have taken it too far this time, after a recent post from the New York Times which presents Yorkshire puddings as a sweet, 'fluffy pancake' called a Dutch Baby.
Brits, particularly our Yorkshire LADs and lasses, are less than impressed with the New York Times' sharing the recipe, which it says is 'excellent for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dessert any time of year' with absolutely no mention of gravy.
The recipe, which is your basic Yorkshire pudding/pancake batter but with sugar and a pinch of nutmeg, actually sounds pretty good; I mean, even Nigella has her own version which she describes as a 'Yorkshire pudding in pancake guise', sounds good, eh? But that hasn't stemmed the furious responses online.
After sharing the recipe on Twitter, the post has been inundated with comments from proud Brits pointing out the error of its ways:
It must be a very strange to work in the social media department of the New York Times.
However, not everyone is super angry, some people seem quite keen to give a sweet Yorkshire pudding a go, with one man even saying traditional Yorkies can be served sweet or savoury. Look, if Nigella is on-board then maybe we should to?
