A Meal Ticket reader just checked in with this query, which is making us pretty damn hungry, we gotta say:

I have an overwhelmingly uncomfortable craving for Yorkshire pudding. Where in this city can I find it, because I'm entirely too lazy to cook it myself?

If you're unfamiliar, Yorkshire pudding is an English side dish that traditionally accompanies roast meats (usually beef). It's made by combining the fat drippings from a roast with flour, butter, milk and about 8,000 eggs to form a crispy-on-the-outside, custardy-on-the-inside carb bomb that becomes all the more delicious when it's used as an edible sponge to sop up pools of salty brown gravy.

Our reader tells us he actually has a Yorkshire pudding pan at home (whatta bum!), but is hoping there's a restaurant out there that cooks up the specialty, either as a regular menu item or as a feature during a weekend feast (the pudding's typically associated with Sunday meals in the UK). Let us know in the comments if you've got any pan-dripping-soaked leads.

Not Philadelphia, but Stoney's Pub on Route 202 in Wilmington does roast beef with Yorkshire pudding on Saturdays - at least they did a year ago.  If not, their fish and chips are "brilliant."

again, pretty far out; but, they serve an amazing roast and Yorkshire pudding at The Whip Tavern in Coatesville...by far the best I've seen in this area..

closest thing I know of is the roast beef-stuffed Yorkshire Pudding at the Elephant and Castle (18th and Market)...

Don't think it's on the menu yet but the obvious candidate for killing this dish in town is Johnny Mac at Pub & Kitchen.  I hope he is reading this.

The Pub In Cherry Hill has them free with the great old school steaks.
