What do you put on your roast dinners?

[Cornecopia]

Hello 👋 im doing a roast today and just wondered what people usually put on theirs? I tend to do the same veg etc unless it’s Xmas we add pigs in blankets.
on my roast we have:

• homemade yorkshires
• roast potatoes
• broccoli
• Honey roast carrots and roast parsnips
• Stuffing
• cauliflower cheese
• gravy
• meat (chicken, gammon, beef or pork)

Normal roast to me is:
Meat
Gravy
Sauce (like red currant for lamb, apple sauce for pork)
Roasties (sweet potato if chicken)
Yorkshires
Two green one coloured veg (like carrots)

A special roast (Easter, Christmas, birthdays):
As above plus
Sweet potato/parsnips
Stuffing if a bird
Extra veg
Bread sauce if a bird
Pigs in blankets at Xmas

I don’t mean to come across as absolutely numb but what on earth is purple sprouting broccoli please?

Cauliflower cheese has no place on a roast unless it's gammon imo. Yorkies on all roasts though definitely!

Exactly what it says, broccoli and the sprouting is purple 💜 YUM!

Roast beef
Roast potatoes and roast carrots
Sweet potato
Purple broccoli
Savoy cabbage
Runner beans (home grown from freezer)
Buckets of gravy.
Unless adult DC are visiting I don't do stuffing or Yorkshires.
I wouldn't eat cauliflower cheese with a roast although I've seen it at a carvery so I guess it's popular.

I don’t mean to come across as absolutely numb but what on earth is purple sprouting broccoli please?

Its sold in nearly every supermarket OP.

Depends on the meat
beef: Yorkshire pud (2), parsnips, skinny broccoli, savoy cabbage, roasties, mash, horseradish and gravy
chicken: Yorkshire pud, roasties, carrots, normal broccoli, stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce.
gammon: pineapple, roasties, skinny broccoli, red cabbage
lamb: Yorkshire pud, gravy, mint sauce, red cabbage, parsnips, green beans

that’s what my mum used to make and what my nan used to make so that’s kind of just how I’ve done it. I don’t really like carrots but I still cook them out of habit.

Chicken
Roast potatoes
stuffing
Leeks
Cauliflower
Brussels sprouts (i.e. seasonal veg, steamed)
Husband has roast parsnips.
Cheese sauce (separately not mixed with cauli. We have this with most winter roasts)
Gravy.

Yorkshires and horseradish sauce with roast beef ( don't have roast beef very often but regularly have Yorkshire pudding in a toad in the hole ) When I was a child we had Yorkshire puddings before a roast. It was my job to make them.
Applesauce and sage and onion stuffing with pork
Lamb with mint sauce, if Easter may have steamed/boiled jersey royals.

Roast potatoes, parsnips and carrots and steamed green vegetables. Gravy. Everything else is meat specific. Yorkshire puddings and horseradish with beef, stuffing and bread sauce with chicken or guinea fowl, stuffing and apple sauce with pork, mint sauce with lamb.

Roast chicken here today. Big tray of roast veg to go with it (spuds, carrots, parsnips, beetroot), steamed purple sprouting brocolli and peas, bread sauce and proper gravy. Deliberate leftovers created to make easy dinner tomorrow. Simple roast, no fancy stuff, but very much a fav in this house. No stuffing, no yorkies.

Today is roast chicken with stuffing and Yorkshire puddings, steamed broccoli, carrots, cauliflower and at this time of year Brussel sprouts. Onions in vinegar and gravy.

Those who say Yorkshires only with beef, take away my Yorkshires and I will hurt you!

I do not like buggered about veg with gravy. One of my friends cooks lovely food but it is all wrong on a roast dinner.
We have:
Meat/veg substitute, roast potatoes, stuffing, gravy. Occasionally bread sauce/Yorkshire puddings.
2 veg. Cannot be sweetcorn, broccoli, asparagus, mangetout, carrots cut in rounds. Probably other stuff too I can't have, there's some mental ideas on this thread. Totally agree re cauliflower cheese being on the banned list.

forgot the potatoes, preference is mash. But we often have roast.

We tend to keep it the same (apart from adding pigs in blankets for Christmas, New Years and Easter - and also sometimes just because we fancy some 😆).

Meat - normally chicken, but lamb or beef on occasion
Roast spuds (rare occasion may go for mash)
yorkshire puddings
broccoli
babycorn on the cobs
peas/green bean
carrots roasted in orange juice, honey and thyme
a vat of gravy to add to it.

Certain unnamed husband family members only eat chicken or crackling pork so it's usually that, meaning we always have yorkshires or we'd never have them at all because I think they belong with beef.
Veg. Just that, we do love veg and it can be just about any veg. Usually but not limited to cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and carrots at least. No cauliflower cheese though, that is for Christmas or qualifies as a meal. And the fuck no to peas, they have no business on a roast dinner. Weirdos Roast parsnips also live on a Christmas dinner.
Roast potatoes. Occasionally mash if I'm not arsed.
Stuffing.
Gravy. Proper homemade.
I prefer condiments to match the meat but my family are rotten buggers like mint sauce with everything

I keep it simple - roast potatoes, a couple of different veg, proper gravy made in the roasting tin. Apple sauce if it’s pork, mint if it’s lamb, horseradish if it’s beef.
Occasionally Yorkshires, if I’ve remembered to buy any. Alas CBA with homemade.

Cauliflower cheese in this house is a main meal, either with jacket potatoes or mixed with pasta, extra cheese on top and browned under the grill - a cauli-mac cheese.

My DH puts mint sauce on a roast dinner, annoys me no end..I like a bit of cranberry sauce with my nut roast.

Today we’re having roast chicken, stuffing, peas, cauliflower and broad beans and gravy. I might do some carrots if there are any in the shed. DH will have roast potatoes (I detest them).
I love cauliflower cheese but find it too heavy with a roast dinner.

Roast meat.
Gravy.
Green beans, buttered, with pepper.
Carrots, buttered, with pepper.
Garlic mashed potatoes unless it's Christmas, when I do roast potatoes.
Or mashed winter root vegetables - parsnips and turnips.
Fresh bread.

If I roast a chicken I "stuff" it with a lemon and a tonne of garlic plus rosemary. I only do stuffing for the Thanksgiving turkey.

With chicken
-roast potatoes
-roast carrots and parsnips

• cauliflower cheese (my favourite)
• green beans/sprouts/tenderstem some sort of green veg

-pigs in blankets as my daughter loves them -Yorkshire puds -Gravy!!

With gammon
-roast potatoes or mash
-lemony wilted cabbage or spring greens
-peas
-cauliflower cheese

With beef
-roast or dauphinoise potatoes
-steamed carrots and a green veg or 2 (I like spinach and tenderstem)
-Yorkshire puds
-cauliflower cheese if I've done roasties
-gravy!

I very rarely do pork and never lamb

Mash is very important a roast isn't the same without it.

Roast meat
Sage and onion stuffing
Mash
Roast potatoes
Sprouts
Cauliflower cheese
Yorkshire puddings

With Chicken:
Parsnips
Stuffing
Carrots
Broccoli
Roast potatoes
Savoy cabbage

With Pork:
As above

Beef:

I will add a Yorkshire to any roast if the DC nag for them.

Depends on the meat!

All would have roast potatoes, at least one green veg, at least one other veg.

Beef: Yorkshires, parsnips
Chicken: parsnips, stuffing
Lamb : Something in a creamy sauce, e.g leeks in white sauce
Pork: stuffing
Gammon: mash rather than roast. Parsley sauce or cauli cheese.

Tonight will be roast chicken stuffed with a lemon, mashed potatoes with swede (left over from pie supper on Friday, topped with curls of butter and microwaved), carrots, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, tinned sweetcorn (also left over but needs eating) and gravy.
