What's a "Popover"?, you might ask, if you are English or Irish.....
Last night I heard that a Popover is an American food item that is something similar to a Yorkshire Pudding and is served with roast beef. One difference I can see is that the fat from the beef is put in to the baking pan when making Yorkshire Puddings. This causes a dip to develop in the pudding - perfect for loading beef & gravy in to!
Another difference is that it seems the popover can be served alongside sweet accompaniments. The Yorkshire pudding is only ever served with savouries.
I quite like the word "Popover"........I think I will call my Yorkshire Puddings (from the freezer) popovers!
