We may be over this side of the Pennines, but there’s no denying a strong argument can be made for Yorkshire Puddings being the best part of a roast dinner.
A roast is a pillar of life for many and marks a time to get together around the table to enjoy one of the heartiest meals you’ll probably have all week, but what goes onto the plate, and what the best bit is always does seem to cause a bit of a stir.
In fact, it’s something our loyal audience of Mancunians debated over back in June, but it’s fair to say that Yorkshire Puddings received love right across the board.
And now, as a way celebrating 25 years of creating the glorious food, Aunt Bessie’s has created a show-stopping 25-tier Yorkshire pudding cake, which contains a whopping total of 965 of Aunt Bessie’s Golden Yorkshire Puddings stuffed with delicious fillings – from roast beef with veg, to pigs in blankets with sweet potato mash and chicken with stuffing and cranberry – and lashings of mouth-watering gravy.
The epic creation took over two hours to create and measures a staggering 8.11ft from top to bottom.

Also to help celebrate its silver anniversary, the brand’s Golden Yorkshires are even getting an upgrade, with the puddings now 25% bigger than they were before, while still maintaining the homemade taste and fluffy texture that we all know and love.
And Aunt Bessie’s is adamant the new and improved puds are the “best recipe yet”.
David Barr – Yorkshire Pudding Guru at Aunt Bessie’s – said: “Having worked at the factory for three decades, I’ve tasted thousands of Yorkshire puddings and seen lots of changes,

“But I’m proud to say that this is our best recipe yet.
“We only use the finest quality ingredients to ensure the best-tasting puds end up on the nation’s dinner plates [and] what better way to mark this magnificent milestone than with a gigantic Yorkshire Pudding cake”.

Our mouths are drooling just thinking about them now.
Whilst we’re not exactly expecting homes across Greater Manchester to be decked with 25-tier Yorkshire pudding cakes any time soon, if this doesn’t give you some inspiration for your next Sunday roast, then we don’t know what will.

A sustainable vintage fashion shop and kilo sale is popping up in a Greater Manchester town in a couple of days time.
And all the proceeds will go to a very-worthy charity.
Merely weeks after the UK’s largest vintage market descended on the iconic Victoria Baths in Manchester city centre, another sustainable fashion event will be popping up in one of the region’s popular shopping centres for the month.
British Heart Foundation will be hosting a brand-new pop-up shop and vintage kilo sale, where you can buy clothing and other goods at a fixed price per kilogram, in Stretford town centre.
Opening its doors this Saturday (5 April), the charity will be taking over the vacant unit that’s next door to JD Sports to provide the Stretford community with a charity shop filled with all sorts of vintage goods and thrifty finds.
Visitors will be able to sift through shelves stacked with major brands at bargain prices, making it the perfect way to sustainably stock up on wardrobe staples and revamp ready for spring.

Jack Grealish dedicates first league goal in 16 months to late brother on anniversary of his death
Danny Jones
Manchester City star Jack Grealish held back the tears following his first Premier League goal in more than 16 months, but not in relief after breaking the duck, because it came on a very emotional day for him and his family.
The Man City and England midfielder opened the scoring in the Blues’ 2-0 win against Leicester City on Wednesday night, bringing an end to his goal drought after a total of 473 days.
But what made it even more special is that the game happened to coincide with the anniversary of his late brother Keelan’s death.
Speaking in his post-match interview after picking up the man of the match award, Grealish was in a noticeably quieter mood than his usual charismatic self before revealing that the day marked the 25th anniversary of his younger sibling’s death.

The 29-year-old went on to reveal that the date coincided with Keelan’s passing and acknowledged that it’s “hard on the family but [I’m] happy to score”.
His mum and dad, Karen and Kevin, were up in the stands; it doesn’t need explaining why scoring in that particular moment was so special for all of them.
Clearly stirred by addressing what was a bittersweet occasion, he signed off by adding, “To score and to win was brilliant.”
Keelan Daniel Grealish was just nine months old when he tragically passed away from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) back in 2000 – ‘Super Jack’ was just four at the time.
Paying tribute on social media after the game, the comments below his post were filled with love and support.
Besides the goal itself, the former Aston Villa star was keen to reiterate that he was never brought to the club to score bags of goals and “has a lot more to offer” than just hitting the back of the net.
Touching on his Grealish’s game and the tribute to Keelan during his post-match duties, manager Pep Guardiola went on to add: “Jack is an incredible human being; in terms of gestures and for the other people, he’s incredibly generous.
“I didn’t know that [it was the anniversary of his brother’s death]. I can’t imagine how tough it could be for mum, dad, sister, and all the family. It’s good on this day to remember him, I’m pretty sure they remember every single day.”
A lovely moment from a much-loved character around the Eithad Stadium as well as up and down the country. Rest in peace, Keelan.
