In celebration of Yorkshire Pudding Day, Morrisons—one of the largest supermarkets in the UK—launched the Yorkshire Pudding Pizza. The special-edition pizza is only being offered for a limited time around the special occasion observed by the British in early February.
The retailer's Yorkshire Pudding Pizza is a unique food hybrid that features a locally made pudding base combined with pizza classics like tomato sauce and cheese. The Yorkshire Pudding Pizza will be available to consumers in two varieties: Pepperoni and Meat Feast.
It is noted that Morrisons sells over a million Yorkshire Puddings a week across its hundreds of stores nationwide, and the retailer hopes that its unconventional food hybrid will be a hit with consumers in the UK.
