Are Sunday roasts still a thing in your house?

[Bobje]

Will be picking up a lovely piece of beef rib today from the butchers.
It will be our first roast of the season and I'm looking forward to it already!
<greedy guts> 😆

Do you still do Sunday roasts?

Not in our house, there's only two of us and Sunday is rugby day then DD goes to her dad's.

My mum often cooks a roast though

Most weekends absolutely. How else could I make the chicken last a whole week if it's not roasted on a Sunday?

Joking aside yes most weekends we have a roast of some kind.

I work most Sundays but when I'm off, if we're not out, I will do a Sunday roast. I'm off next Sunday and other then football in the morning, have no plans so it will be a roast, followed by a walk up to the local pub.

No, I dislike all the last minute work. I'd far rather make a casserole and leave it for hours to do its magic. My kids love a roast, probably because I do them so rarely!

They've never been a thing in my house.

No - very rare. No one particularly likes them and a lot of work for one meal

@Bobje always have a roast, not necessarily on a sunday. and the left overs will make a curry or a pot of stovies for the next night's tea!

Absolutely. Sometimes during tbe week instead. Can't beat a roast dinner, hubby makes the best!

We have one every week. I'm bored of them, but everyone else enjoys it so we carry on.

Vegetarian Sunday roasts can be really nice. I can make a good nut roast as well or I buy in a mushroom wellington sometimes.

Never been a thing in our house, and not really much of a thing in my family home growing up. I love a Christmas dinner, but otherwise don't really get the fuss about a roast

They've never been a thing in our house.

DP isn't a massive fan so I never bothered for the both of us. Oldest DC is of the same ilk so it was just not something I made regularly.

I do variations of a roast. We often have roast chicken, mash and green veg or lamb, minted new potatoes and veg. I just rarely do the "classic" roast.

I always do a Christmas dinner though (even if we aren't at home on the day) and usually do a roast at Easter and I'm always happy to be a guest at the in-laws who do the regular roast most Sunday's 😋

Today I picked up a half leg of lamb in Sainsbury’s - £7.33 with Nectar card, £14.67 without! Not use by tomorrow or anything, 7th Oct.

I thought it must be a mistake, but there were others similar and it went fine through the self checkout.

So it’s definitely going to be roast lamb on Sunday! But for dinner, not lunch.

Yes, always have a roast. Or a version of ie not always a joint, might have steak or lamb chops etc

I love them but can never be bothered to make them- I’m vegan so have to make Yorkshire puddings from scratch and I am too lazy !

Not "strange", just different from yours, and I’m sure as many people share my perspective as they do yours!

What's even stranger is the faux shock?! and feeling the need to critique such a neutral statement directly to me!

It just goes to show that we all have different opinions, whether it's about what's okay for Sunday dinner or the appropriate way to respond to someone else in a discussion.

Never. We like a Sunday curry instead. Mostly because I prefer cooking things that only use one or two pots. The faff of a roast is reserved for Christmas Day only.

Roast dinners aren't a thing in our house at all. Neither me nor DP particularly like them so we don't bother. Thinking about it I can't actually remember the last time either of us cooked one.....probably the last time we cooked a Christmas dinner for my parents which was in 2019.

We don’t do a roast on Christmas Day either - everyone prefers a cold buffet

Yes every Sunday - it's an all round favourite.

We’re often not in on a Sunday so we’ll usually have brunch out or a Sunday roast at a restaurant. Cannot beat a roast!

It wasn’t something I grew up with and I’ve never done it. I like slow cooked stews on a Sunday in the winter. Something you can assemble in 40 minutes or less and then forget about for 4 hours. You can go out and do stuff and come back home to a dinner that’s ready to eat. It’s really appreciated as the weather gets colder.

We are empty nesters. I make some sort of 'traditional' main meal on Sundays for the two of us but not a full-on roast.

If the kids are visiting for the weekend then I would definitely go all out and make a roast.

We sometimes have other empty nesters over for a Sunday lunch party.

It's a lot of work to make but everyone loves and appreciates it.

Yes, every Sunday. Rounds the weekend off perfectly!

Yes we do a roast just about every Sunday. I have a nice Silverside beef roast for this weekend. Then the rest of the week it's get sliced up and we can have Beef and mustard sandwich at some point.
