Wow thems fighting words. But i’m thinking you’ve perhaps been eating the wrong ones? I’ve had some truly dire ones, its not like its a recipie impossible to mess up, but most of them i’ve had are really amazing. Crispy sides, slightly soft bottom is the ideal imo, but you also can’t make up for bad ones just by the cooking, it’s also what they’re made of
I’ve had a few Sunday roasts (in the UK) in my time, and been to good pubs and bad across a variety of English locales to have them, they are always shit. Have even tried homemade ones by someone who everyone says makes great Yorkshire puddings. Disappoint always ensued. It’s always the same, a mostly tasteless piece of batter that takes more from a meal than it adds.
