Sunday dinner/lunch- is it a thing?

Whether you do a roast or something else, is the main Sunday meal something a bit special in your home, or a pretty ordinary rotation?

IABU= ordinary meal that you might have any day of the week
IANBU= a slightly special meal or something you don’t have in the week

We have a roast most weeks but as I'm not too fond of them we do ther things. Tonight we're having beef stew with roast potatoes and vegetables

Don’t each much Sunday - possibly soup and toast - day off from cooking!

We try to make more of an effort on a Sunday, just because it's about the only day we are all together at the same time. Doesn't always happen but a roast prob 2-3 times a month in winter. In summer more often a BBQ, or roast chicken with salad etc. Nothing formal but laying the table properly, napkins, all together around the table. Rather than mid week spag bol for half the family as the other half are at training etc.

We always have a big fry up around lunchtime on a Sunday then go out for a walk or to the park we then have sandwiches etc at teatime. I make a roast on a Monday.
