Pot Roast and Yorkshire Pudding

Sounds a bit strange, but since moving over to the USA our family diet is evolving into a strange combination, or fusion, of English and American foods.  Partly through necessity, as we can't buy everything that we used to buy in the UK, and partly because some American foods are just delicious.

Tonight Mummy cooked and stirred all day, feeling a little guilty about yesterdays microwave dinner.  Youngest and I baked a lovely Victoria sponge, although we replaced the traditional butter icing with an American vanilla frosting.  The boys devoured the cake, so the substitution must have worked.

For dinner we are having a beef pot roast, which has been gently slow-cooking for hours, served in Yorkshire Puddings, with sage and onion stuffing, vegetables (carrots, peas) and mashed potato.  All of which is pretty British, bar the pot roast.
