BTW, the Americans do not have a clue how to make roast potatoes. It might be to do with the types of potato that grow there. Or they might just be too busy eating French fries and hash browns and mashed potato. They love mashed potato there. I get that. Like I say, there’s something fun about mashed potato. I think it’s because you can sculpt with it.
And of course we haven’t even got to Yorkshire pudding yet.
The Yorkshire pud is not only the finest thing to have come out of Yorkshire (with apologies to Michael Parkinson), it is also clearly the most delicious (apologies again to Michael Parkinson). Beating stuffing hands down, this edible spongy cushion of blandness – if done right – is the highlight of any roast.
‘If I ruled the world,’ sang Harry Secombe, ‘every day would be the first day of spring.’ Well, if I, Matt Lucas, ruled the world, before I even unpacked I would give Yorkshire pudding a knighthood.
‘Arise, Sir Pudding of Yorkshire.’
You’d see photos in the newspaper of a giant Yorkshire pudding posing happily outside the palace with his wife and kids, and then you’d see the photos again two years later, when – disgraced and stripped of its title – it gets sent to prison for tax evasion.
In short, I could eat Yorkshire pudding every day. In fact, lose the word ‘could’ from that sentence and you have a pretty accurate impression of how I live my life.
At number 4 – we’re hotting up now – it’s spaghetti Bolognese.
No veal ragout or none of that poncey nonsense, though. Minced beef, onions, mushrooms, maybe carrots. Proper English Bolognese.
And tons of spaghetti. Way more, in fact, than you would ever dare to put in any other pasta dish.
