The irony of this being that Yorkshire pudding is traditionally a lunch for miners, given the high caloric density. It's about as working-class as food gets, if you look just at the history. It's even managed to resist the trend of poor people food becoming rich people food (lobster being the best-known example) because it's made from relatively cheap staples, though it has definitely made its way onto expensive plates.

Don't get me started on why the French translation for Shepherd's pie is "Pat chinois." I mean, since we're on historical food stuff.
