Not even British and this is such a gross oversimplification. It's like calling a french bakery full of bread.

Yorkshire pudding - name of locality of origin included. Generally only served with a "Sunday roast" dinner as a side dish. It is made from a batter and not a pastry.

Cornish pasty - again name of locality of origin included. Wide range of fillings available nothing even vaguely similar to a Yorkshire despite your poor attempt to lump it in.

Eccles is a sweet treat. The pastry is nothing like either a Yorkshire or a pasty.
