How much of the roast do you eat before serving it??

[2anddone]

Just cooking a roast for me and dc. Casually carving chicken and it just occurred to me that actually I eat just as much carving the chicken and dishing up as I do at the table!! Please tell me I am not the only one!!

Oysters and wings on the chicken, and a bit of crispy skin with some thigh meat ! Usually full up by the time my plate is in front of me x

I’ve done a roast this weekend. I always give myself the best roast potatoes.

The first slice of roast beef is pretty much all. Can't stand chicken skin or crackling (yes I'm weird) but the first slice of a beef joint is the 'taster' and it's all mine.

The parsons nose is beautiful and I won't hear any different! As are the oysters.

[TheFlis12345]

Most of the chicken skin (you need to take it off before you rest the chicken anyway or is ceases to be crispy and is pointless!) and the wings. I scoff them while I finish the gravy.

I don't eat meat but I'll normally steal a roast potatoe if there's one extra and a few bits of the roasted veg there is never a Yorkshire go steal.

Loads 😳 I have to not buy pork often because rim the only one who likes crackling so I eat it as soon as the joint is out of the oven and leave the meat to rest.

We both have the first carved slice between us. Mmmm

2/3 Yorkshire puddings... 😳😅

[DinosApple]

Lots of the skin, and any garlicky chickens bits, plus any tiny crispy roast potatoes... It's just as bad with lamb.

Beef I'm not bothered by.

[MrsJonesAndMe]

Not really anything other than maybe a pig in blanket.... I do most of my picking after when clearing up

I tell dh to leave the roasting dish from the washing up and I'll do it myself while he sits down. Then i eat all the lovely burnt salty fatty bits mmmmm

[kaleishorrid]

The wings - to test the chicken is cooked. Before DD went back to university we would have a wing each - now I have to eat both as DH doesn't like the wings - Ho hum
