The exact origin of Yorkshire puddings is a bit murky — well, aside from
the fact that they were initially popularized in Yorkshire, England. But
the first recorded recipe of the dish dates back to the 1700s. Today,
the light and airy puddings are a staple in many Christmas dinners, but
according to British baking lore, Yorkshire puddings were traditionally
served as an appetizer. Hosts liked to serve Yorkshire puddings before
the meal because the savory, breaded dish would fill up their guests'
stomachs, which meant everyone would end up eating less of the more
expensive, meat-based main meal. With all the pressures that come along
with modern-day hosting responsibilities, 18th-century Brits were onto
something: Hosting hacks.

My paternal grandmother was raised within Yorkshire. She often served
roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Dinner in her humble home
was not conducted as a multi course extravaganza. It was the main
course followed by dessert, and the Yorkshire pudding was part of that
main course.

As for filling people up with cheap Yorkshire pudding, my father's
family were not big meat eaters. My wife's family OTOH were major
carnivores. I was amazed how much meat they ate. My mother would make a
turkey and feed 12 -15 people and we would still have leftover turkey
for several days. My MiL would cook a turkey for dinner for 10 and they
would be picking the carcass clean.
