consisting of eggs, flour, and milk. The dish is sometimes served
with beef and gravy and is a staple of the traditional British

of the Yorkshire pudding is, as yet, unknown. The first ever
recorded recipe appeared in a book in 1737. The Yorkshire pudding
is meant to rise, or york, in a correctly executed
preparation.

Today we talk about the pub but this is a term invented by the
Victorians, an abbreviation of public house. It was the Romans who
gave England its first pubs almost two thousand years ago. In Roman
towns tabernae served food and wine (and probably the local ale
too), they displayed vine leaves outside to advertise their trade.
When the Romans left, the tabernae disappeared.

PUB is short for Public House. The publican opens part of his
or her house to the public - a bit like giving a party in your own
home every day! This is why the publican is often called the HOST.
Rule # 2 There is no waiter service in British pubs. You have to go
up to the bar to buy your drinks, and carry them back to your
table. In every PUB there are the unofficial, unwritten, unspoken
RULES: Rule # 3 Rule # 4 Rule # 5 It is customary for one or two
people, not the whole group, to go up to the bar to buy drinks. To
get served, you must attract the attention of the bar staff without
making any noise or resorting to the vulgarity of too- obvious
gesticulation. Rule # 1 If you wish to pay for your drinks
individually, then order individually; if you order as a group, the
bar staff will total the cost and expect a single payment. In most
British pubs, you pay for your drinks in cash, immediately when you
order them.
