I bet you 70% of the people who complain are people who don't even watch the show and have nothing better to do then to complain about Channel 4 programmes and the fact that they pay for a TV license and so therefore they should be able to choose what......blah blah blah and the rest of it!

you need to get a life if you think calling somebody a yorkshire pudding is racist. you also need to look up the word racist, because people from Yorkshire aren't a race.

but I take the OP's point. She is being a southern snob

She's from Bristol. The West Country. Not exactly Home Counties... It's not quite so insulting as referring to people as southern snobs.

The trouble is tho, she does mean it as an insult and not a funny remark.

i agree

it's not racist, but it is a form of discrimination in the context she's using it

A white/British person......nope, not at all.

An Indian or someone from that area of Asia, it could be interpreted that way. Depends on why you're calling them one, if you mean it as an insult when you call it them. Surely to call them it you are digging at their culture/background and it implies a negative insult?

which is what bea was doing. she is calling him a yorkshire pudding as an insult. context is everything

The only food I can associate with near where I live is 'Black pudding'... now that is the right kind of food to insult someone with!
