Please settle this dispute re: "a roast"

[UnlimitedChipsAndSalsa]

I need the power of MN (to prove that I'm right...). If someone says they are "making a roast on Sunday" what meat(s) could possibly be being served?

Beef, chicken, lamb, pork...

Or duck goose partridge pheasant venison turkey...

Chicken, beef, pork, lamb...turkey, duck, goose, gammon...

The above with a stretch to nut?

Any joint of meat

Beef, chicken, lamb, pork, ham, duck.

Can't think of any others.

Beef, chicken, lamb, pork maybe turkey or roast gammon, unless a veggie meal of course.

Typical Sunday dinner.

All the above.

Is it sausages OP? Sausages are most definitely NOT a roast.

Thanks for the answers so far! I'll update about the sides of the dispute in a bit.

Any joint of meat, it just needs to be in one piece.

I would expect the above, but I would accept any mammal or poultry could be a roast. But it must be cooked as a lump, not processed like sausages.

Usually beef. I wouldn't say 'a roast' if it was lamb, I'd say 'I'm cooking a leg of lamb.' Similarly I would say, 'I'm cooking a chicken,' or 'I'm cooking gammon / duck.'

DS primary school does roast on Wednesdays, sometimes the meat is sausages.

Yes to one big lump of meat (or a nut roast).
Could be any meat really. But a whole bird or lamb, beef, ham or pork.

Likely chicken, pork, lamb or beef but yes feasibly any meat that could be roasted. Context is king though…

Usually some sort of joint or chicken, could be a nut roast or one of those wellington things, either salmon, beef or veggie.

Sides in this weather is difficult, I like the full shebang of cauliflower cheese, yorkies, roast pots, cabbage or brussels, carrots etc, probably carrot and swede mash.

But its too hot for all that and really too hot for a roast I would say

We're all waiting with bated breath OP.....

I’d think beef chicken pork or lamb

A big chunk o' meat, perhaps a nut roast.

Sausages, or cottage/shepherds pie don't count

<gavel>

Whaaaat??

Anything, even sausages, for me its all about the potatoes being roasted.

Mmmm. I'm going to enjoy this CAREFULLY. MEASURED. OUT. PORTION. of Mexican-inspired comestibles right now... 😁

A piece of meat, poultry or beef. Roast never meant fish in our house but acceptable in current question.

What's the point in this?
