Standing rib with Yorkshire pudding has been our family tradition for countless years. My wife is a strong adherent my late Mom's preference for "yorkie" prep with drippings to maximize the beefy flavor. Ladle on some wine-deglazed jus-based gravy and Mmmmm, pure heaven. We usually make three large muffin tins for six adults and 3 children and none of it goes to waste. In fact my son-in-law says he much prefers Christmas dinner at our house to his own mother's traditional roast turkey and cornbread stuffing. My wife even saves any left over drippings in case I get an urge for more Yorkshire pudding. Truth be told, my waistline couldn't afford it, although I'd like to see what the drippings could do for some home made fwench fwies.For the roast, we've ordered from Loebel's, Allen Brothers, Harry's/Whole Foods, Sawicki's and Publix and honestly, I've found it's the luck of the draw when it comes to the result. I'd be hard-pressed to tell much difference between the $90 Publix we ordered last year and the $300 Allen Bros the year before. OTOH, I have a warm spot in my heart for Allen Brothers - a few years ago a 14-lb rib roast was delayed in transit due to weather. Aleen Bros promptly sent out another at no charge and told us to keep both - both of which arrived on the same day.
