Will PhoenixWhat do Americans call this?
@storybookcat @mrluo @dennison Its actually a giant yorkshire pudding. I normally fill them with Sausages, Mash and Peas and soak it in gravy. Delicious . Americans might call it a popover im told.
Dennison@Whiskeyomega @storybookcat @mrluo That sounds delicious, actually. Probably really nice on a damp, cold night.
Frinton@Whiskeyomega @storybookcat @mrluo @dennison I too am in the Midwest US. That is not a popover. If you fill it with sausage and vegetables and a gravy as you've described, the closest thing I can think of is called a "pot pie" ... usually filled with chicken or turkey, sometimes beef, but not sausage that I've heard of. (But sausage would be good!)
The important part of a pot pie, however, is that it would also have a pastry top on it as well.
@Whiskeyomega @storybookcat @mrluo @dennison
What you're describing with the sausage filling reminded me of a very regional US delicacy called the "pasty" -- "pasties" plural. They're wonderful!!
AFAIK they're unique in the US to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. But they have quite a European history.

@Whiskeyomega, a bread bowl? (I guess? I've never seen anything like that.)
Are you sure that's not a British interpretation of something an American might do but that we actually don't?
Tim from the Island💫♥️💫🇮🇲@Whiskeyomega A yorkcestershire pudding biscuit
@Whiskeyomega Not sure what it is to begin with. What do Britons call it? What do you do with it? (I'm American.)
The closest thing I can think of is that it is a bread bowl that one would put soup into. But it's wider and shallower than what I'd expect for that.
