Whereabouts are you, and what’s on your roast dinner?

[TigerGolf]

I love a roast, but am bored and need some inspiration. Therefore, just for fun, I’ll start….

North West

Usually roast chicken or gammon, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, honey glazed carrots, tender stem broccoli, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. All homemade.

Roast pork, roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, stuffing, red cabbage, sprouts, crackling, apple sauce

Northumberland

Yorkshire Pud
Roasties and mash
Meat (for me usually beef or chicken)
Always LOTS of gravy
Always mint and stuffing sauce regardless of meat
Selection of roasted veg
I also add cauli cheese but the rest of the wider family think I'm mad.

Roast Chicken, Mashed potatoes, Potato Croquettes, Yorkshire Pudding, Carrots, Peas, Cauliflower cheese, Bisto gravy.
All Shop bought
In Glasgow

Roast lamb marinated in tamarind and some spices cooked on a wire rack over a large tin that holds the potato’s and onions. The meat juice drips onto the potato’s and cooks them.

It’s all served up with a mixed salad sprinkled with feta cheese along side roast tomato’s.

At other times it’s a roast chicken dinner with the traditional sides. All homemade.

I really don’t get cauliflower cheese on a roast dinner.

Cheese sauce mixed with gravy🤢

We have roast chicken usually, roasties and mash. Mashed swede, broccoli, carrots and peas or sprouts. Sometimes parsnips. Yorkshire puddings and tons of home made gravy.

North east.

South East

Roast meat - chicken, lamb or beef
Roast potatoes
Yorkshire pudding
Stuffing
Carrots, swede, broccoli
Lots of gravy
Bread sauce, mint sauce or horseradish depending on the meat

Roast chicken, roast pots, leeks, honey carrots, broccoli, Yorkshires and gravy. The more veg the better!

I’m south west

Any meat apart from pork. Roast potatoes, roasted carrots, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower cheese, peas, stuffing, Yorkshire puddings and lashings of gravy. Dh has bread sauce with every roast. Dd has cranberry sauce.

You have no idea what you are missing 🙂

Mine is usually chicken with roast and. Mash, leeks and bacon and carrots and gravy sometimes brocolli

North west

Usually roast chicken and if not beef brisket. Always roast potatoes and at the minute green beans and cabbage from the garden (I make creamed cabbage), always carrots and maybe frozen peas or sprouts too. If not creamed cabbage I'll make cauliflower cheese.

If I have family or friends over I always make my own Yorkshire puddings otherwise it's Lidl's beef dripping ones.

Always homemade gravy, bread sauce and cranberry with chicken (often homemade, I buy cranberries in bulk at Christmas and make tonnes of sauce) or horseradish or mustard with brisket.

Sunday isn't Sunday without a roast dinner.

It doesn’t have to mix. It can be on the other side of the plate.

Or caulicheese*. I also do a brisket with mash Yorkshire pudding with carrots and peas.

Roast chicken or gammon with roast potatoes, carrots and parsnips plus a ton of Yorkshire puddings covered in gravy. Sometimes peas and or sweetcorn.

I sometimes do buttered spinach for me with my roast chicken. Im in Scotland.

Tsk tsk Yorkshire puds with red meat only round these parts (Herts, but this hails from my expat roots)

Pork shanks, roast potatoes, handfuls of whatever veg is ready in the garden (french beans, runner beans, peas, broc probably), apple sauce

Never really understood the multi-potato thing. Who would have mash if there are roasties?

I like doing red cabbage as a side if we have pork. Soften a red onion, add half a chopped red cabbage, a spoon of red wine vinegar, a pint of veg stock, a few juniper berries, half a teaspoon each of nutmeg and all spice, boil for half an hour, add two chopped apples and cook for 15 minutes more.

@Tealwarrior what spices do you use for your lamb?

Cos it tastes good i think northerners love multi tatties

Cannot have Roast Chicken without skirlie/ mealie - basically oatmeal stuffing.
Roast or mash potatoes, broccoli or cauli with or without cheese, carrots, sweet corn , homemade gravy. Any other veg - Brussels, spinach whatever.
But mealie makes it.

Devon.

Roast pork with crackling. Roast potatoes, carrot & swede mash, red cabbage, savoy cabbage. Peas for dd as she doesn't eat cabbage. Lots of gravy, bit of horseradish. Sometimes a Yorkshire if I can be bothered.

I agree.

I’m a northerner and think mash on a roast dinner is absolute madness!

I only like the right sides. Always roast potatoes and probably parsnips. Chicken or guinea fowl with stuffing and bread sauce, beef with yorkshires and horseradish, pork with sage and onion and roasted apples, lamb with mint. Veg varies by season, but we like purple or white sprouting broccoli, broad beans, runner beans, dark green cabbage or kale, leeks, carrots and swede. I might do cauli or leeks in cheese sauce but usually that would be with gammon rather than a gravy roast. I also sometimes do braised red cabbage but personally I think it takes over a bit.

South West

Nut roast, roast potatoes, onion gravy, red cabbage, carrots, a green vegetable and sometimes stuffing. Occasionally apple sauce or cranberry sauce depending on what went into the nut roast.

Stuffing is great it's true. I cook it separately though as I find it fucks up the timing for the chicken. I do a breadcrumbs, lemon and garlic or a sort of spicy sausage meat one if I can get the meat cheap off the butcher. Just put it in a wee ovenproof dish in the top oven and then that means it's nice and hot when the rest goes in there to keep warm while I do my yorkshires. Always have yorkshires regardless of what meat we're having because my kids love them and I'm pretty fucking good at them so it gives me a kick when I take them out the oven.
