First we had the Yorkshire Pudding wrap - now feast your eyes on the Yorkshire Pudding Christmas BURGER that has arrived in the city to make us feel all warm and festive.

The “All I want for Christmas” burger piles all the ingredients of a traditional festive dinner - a turkey burger, sage and onion sausage patty, cranberry sauce, pigs in blankets and even truffled parsnip strands - sandwiched inside two Yorkshire puddings instead of two halves of a bun.

What’s more, gravy is poured into the bottom Yorkshire pudding to give a rich, if rather messy, juice as you bite into the confection.

It comes with a portion of truffled parsnip crisps and extra gravy on the side too.

The festive burger, which is priced at £8, is a new special created by the Big Grillie Style foodie team at the Joshua Brooks pub on Princess Street.

Owner Alex Applegarth came up with the creation, named after the Mariah Carey smash hit, just in time for the festive rush in the city centres - and it goes on sale at the pub from Wednesday, December 6.

And Alex is pretty pleased with how it has turned out.

Alex says: “It’s absolutely amazing to be honest. I had thought about doing a Yorkshire pudding wrap but decided against it - and you can still eat this one with your hands if you don’t mind getting a bit messy.”

And in the true spirit of Christmas, Alex says he will donate 10 per cent of all proceeds from sales to a homeless charity.

There will be another quirky twist on festive celebrations at the pub on December 16 when they hold a Reggae Christmas party in conjunction with Old J Rum. Christmas jerk chicken will be served up as well as spiced rum punch, Caribbean mulled wine and ginger Christmas cake with rum custard.

Manchester foodies have been going crazy for all things Yorkshire pudding of late.

A Yorkshire pudding festive wrap being made on the Christmas Markets has been a huge hit, with queues regularly forming for hungry punters eager to try its savoury batter wrapped around a full roast dinner.

For £6.50 you can get the ‘Christmas special’ which entails pulled pork, pulled beef, pulled BBQ chicken thigh, stuffing (made from dripping), green beans, carrots and a choice of mint sauce and gravy or onion gravy, all wrapped in a giant Yorkshire pudding.
