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?

I agree sausages on their own don't count as a roast, but Toad in the Hole is definitely roast territory for me.

Chicken generally. But could be any type of meat with typical trimmings.

Well, I was even more wrong than any of you guessed... 😳

I was teasing DH (who cooked tonight) that he should have made me a roast because it's Sunday. He said that he had offered (offered to get a whole chicken for tonight while we were shopping earlier but I wasn't inthemood for that). I said that "a roast" ONLY meant beef.

Growing up, 'a roast' would only have been beef,

any other meat woukd have been what it was 'leg of lamb' 'pork & crackling' or a roast chicken (but that was roast chicken, not A roast.

Im getting used to people meaning any piece of meat & weird sides such as cauliflower cheese.🤪(they're clearly wrong though!!)

im veggie & often have roast vegetables, but I'd never say A roast!
