Sunday Dinner/Lunch... (lighthearted, this isn't AIBU)

Do you have a full roast? At 2pm like a normal human being or later?

My ideal is full roast, spuds (preferably two types or one and roast parsnips), at least three types of veggies including something from the cabbage family, something green and one other (carrots, swede, etc) and a bucketload of thick gravy, followed by a proper baked pudding or homemade cakes around teatime.

DP doesn't think like this. He has previously suggested that, with Christmas falling midweek, it wasn't necessary to have a roast dinner for the two Sundays previously and would, in all honesty, be happy with a packet of crisps and a Pot Noodle during the day and a slice of pizza late in the evening. He has still cooked them (he insists on monopolising the kitchen and shopping), but they've been somewhat hit and miss and the time has slipped from 6pm to 'it'll be ready soon' at 10.45pm last week at which point I lost my fucking shit at him.

Anyway, obviously remembering last week's shit fit, he is just about making gravy now. Which is good. It feels right. And saves me from staging a chickenwing coup with the TwatCats and forcibly occupying the kitchen in order to cook.

What are your opinions on food on Sundays?

Should there be a large breakfast, then dinner by 2, then tea?

Are you more of a heathen monster pizza and chips person?

Is it 6pm? 8pm?

How many veggies/types of potatoes?

Or is Sunday Dinner not a thing anymore?

Sunday roast around 4pm. Today I had:

Roasted chicken
Roastes potatoes
Roasted parsnips
Roasted carrots
Runner beans
Savoy cabbage and kale
Proper gravy

It was delicious. I am single and live alone and love doing it. I listened to the radio whilst prepping and had a long soak in the bath while it cooked.

Big glass of white and the left over chicken will feed me for the next couple of days.

We’re not having a roast today, but we are having peri peri chicken (leftover from a takeaway) with couscous and roasted vergetables. I’m looking forward to it!

If we were having a roast today would be a day for roast pork with mash and lots of fried savoy cabbage.
