Does everyone think their Mum’s roast is the best in the world?

[AtleastitsnotMonday]

My mum is a good home cook. Not fancy but I always like her food. However when’s it comes to a roast, nothing else has ever come close. To be honest she cooks a pretty bog standard roast, but she does it just the way I like it. I have never had one I prefer, she taught me to make a roast but it’s still not as good as hers. I would never order a roast when eating out because I know it just wouldn’t compete. I think it’s about the comfort of it as much as the taste. Does everyone else think like this?

No my mum can’t cook for shit

Yes absolutely - my Mum’s is the best, and I’ve never come close to replicating it.

Nope.

Mine is.

No! (Although other people have complimented her cooking)

I’ve now realised I can make roasts as I like them it helps!

No my mums roast is average at best. My dad however is the best cook! His roasts are amazing, as is anything he cooks (apart from eggs for some reason)

My grandmother's were.

My mums steak with onion gravy was unreal. I loved it. I remember asking her to make it for me at xmas but she'd got too old and it wasnt the same. I never had it again.
I agree the comfort part is so special and you never get it back.

Absolutely not

My mums roast isn't one that stands out for me - her lasagne however...amazing!

My DS said yes
Unless we are having nan's roast

Its funny, but I can still remember the taste

My Mum makes the best roast potatoes I've ever tasted, but she uses packet stuffing and insists that microwaved courgettes are tasty...

No. I avoid going to visit if she’s likely to be doing a roast. I don’t like grey, crumbly, over cooked meat. I was vegetarian between the ages of 16 and 23 largely to avoid it.

Nope. My grandma and I did the roasts in our family. Mum just eats them.

My mum wasn’t the best cook but her roasts were amazing. DH says that they were the best too, even better than his nan’s (high praise indeed)

Now my mum isn’t with us DH is the roast dinner chef, he does do a very good roast. DS’s GF says they’re better than her mum’s.

My MIL does the best lamb. My SIL the best beef. My mum does shepherds pie

Nope.

DH's is best I've had .

Apparently mine isn't bad, but I only cook that at work

she does it just the way I like it

No, you like it just the way she does it, because that's what you know.

No. My mother hates meat and it shows!

Yes definitely my mums are the best I have had. No matter what we do ours are just not the same.

I could have written this post, except my lovely mum passed away almost 4 years ago 😢 however my dad makes Sunday lunch now and it’s even better (sorry mum) it just pisses me off the number of years my mum made it and was stressed - she never really liked cooking and dad could have been doing it all that time. I would never choose to eat a roast dinner in a restaurant because I’d be disappointed

Nope, she nearly always dries out the meat, the potatoes are generally hard and the veg is either also hard or mush. I never understood growing up why a roast dinner was considered to be the holy grail of meals as I never really enjoyed them.

Nope. Veg all overcooked horrifically, veggie option is a nut roast from a packet that you add water too (that she eats most of because "it tastes just like stuffing!") or a dry quorn roast, cheapest gravy granules possible (usually out of date) and we all end up with the shits because my parents idea of hygiene is awful.

We avoid eating at theirs wherever possible! My younger sister and I make an awesome roast though, loads of lovely veggies, a good homemade wellington or nut roast, she sorts the meat and slow cooks it. It's perfect 👌

Absolutely my mums is just amazing it’s nothing special really, but it just brings back great memories when we’d all sit round the table as children and tuck into a roast every Sunday without fail. She goes make the best gravy ever though, and even though I follow everything she does to try and make it, it just isn’t the same!
