What's your favourite meat on a roast?

[ShowerTheHorse]

DP says he is not fussed and I'm off to asda to get our bird for a roast for tomorrow so I'm leaving it up to the MN jury .

What's your favourite? Beef? Pork? Chicken? Gammon?

Lamb. Gotta be.

Lamb and pork.

Lamb

Chicken for me, with a lovely chickeny gravy and parsnips roast with the potatoes in goose fat. Maybe some homemade stuffing if I have bread to use up. I love sprouts with it. So basically a mini Christmas dinner!

Beef, with Yorkshire pudding (ideally served first as a starter), horse-radish sauce and a dish of sliced onions and cucumber in vinegar. Plus roasties, gravy and veg of course.

In this order...

Lamb 😍

Sliced onions and cucumber? That sounds a bit - different. Is it a regional variety or just a family thing?

It's family tradition from my Yorkshire grandparents, not sure if its regional as well (we live a long way from there and have for all my life). It's a match made in heaven, unlikely as it seems.

Lamb. Mmmmmmm.

I will try it next time. Raw onions, right?

A Lovely leg of lamb. No question.

Beef or Duck.

Very rare venison every time

By order of preference

Dh would swap round the pork and chicken.

Roast beef with mustard and Yorkshire pud with crispy roasties and lashings of rich beefy gravy 😋😋😋😋

Yes, raw onions, I use red ones, very finely sliced, with cucumber, put in a bowl of vinegar for an hour or so before eating. I use malt vinegar.

It’s not that far off the Berlin and onion you might have in a burger.

Beef is best!
Trimmings must include homemade Yorkshire pudding, Paxo sage and onion, and roast parsnips.

Berlin?? Gherkin!

Lamb

Lamb, but only when it’s on offer. If not, chicken.

Beef. Rare. Proper bloody. With cheesy leeks.

Lamb. I seem incapable of roasting beef. It turns out dry every single time.

I like lamb for the actual meat, but pork you get crackling and apple sauce so pork edges it. If I'm cooking it at home though I always do chicken because DS1 will eat it and the leftovers are more useful.
