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

I'm surprised how many votes for lamb there are. I love the stuff and choose it in regular restaurants most of the time but I heard on the BBC sometime last year that consumption was significantly down amongst 30-something year olds. Different lamb farmers were doing a campaign to show people that lamb can be a weeknight meal and not just a Sunday roast type of meat by sharing quick recipes, mince lamb recipes, etc.

Poor little lambs.

To me lamb is the most greasy meat on the planet. And then they die.

I could eat lamb everyday but it's so expensive!

Pork but I have no idea how to cook it myself. I used to live near an amazing pub/hotel in Oxfordshire, their roast pork was unbelievable. I'm in Kent now and DH has offered to drive me back for a Sunday treat it was that good.

Always roast pork! And I’m another who has Yorkshire puddings with every roast

Last time I did a pork loin I sat it on shallots and apple wedges then added some cider. I made gravy with some of the porky cider too. I’m trying to convince DH to have it for Christmas dinner, it was so good!

Rare beef or lamb

Beef. Always beef.
A nice forefib joint, served rare for me, with Yorkshire’s.
I often think I could happily only eat beef for every meal for the rest of my life
We have got wagyu steaks tonight if dp will ever finish bloody cooking

Beef
But we are having chicken tomorrow.

Gammon roast tatties and cauliflour cheese is food of the gods it is my favourite roast.

I've just realised you must have already bought it.
What did you get ?

Although i am having roast chicken tomorrow probably with a yorkshire pudding.

Lamb.
I've never cooked a Yorkshire pudding in my life. Not a thing in my family (Ireland).

I buy frozen yorkshires

Roast beef, with turkey a close second. Would be lamb first but it's hideously expensive here.

Me too MrsJ. I'm having frozen yorkshires with chicken

And bread sauce

I'm surprised how many votes for lamb there are.

OP asked what our 'favourite' is, not 'what we can afford to buy' / 'will be buying in our next shop'

Beef

Rib is lovely roasted and I like it rare

Of course with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, broccoli and cauliflower cheese

Pork or pork belly.

Lamb or chicken.

Beef, then lamb, then pork.

Not fussed about turkey or chicken.

Backforgood

Agree. I'd have lamb nuggets or lamb currey but chicken is cheaper!
