Traditional Sunday lunch, but what for tea?

[feejee]

If you have a traditional Sunday lunch, what would you then have for tea/dinner?

I need ideas other than cheese on toast, as that's my only idea.

Nothing as I find a Sunday roast extremely filling.

If we have it for lunch (often we have it for dinner), we’d have leftovers or kids might have cheese, crackers and apple slices.

Crumpets
Cheese and crackers
Toasted teacake
Sandwiches / Rolls / Baguette
Wrap
Pizza

Boiled eggs

Derbyshire speak for “bread rolls/baps/bread cakes” …probably opening a can of worms there 🤣

We usually eat out Sunday roast in the evening because we do other stuff during the day but if we are invited somewhere for Sunday lunch Dh will do us rarebit in the evening, I know it’s basically cheese on toast but it’s the best version! It takes him ages to get it all just right but it’s so worth it. I hate regular cheese on toast 🤢

We used to have boiled eggs on toast

Salmon & cucumber or egg & cress sandwiches, and fruit cake - a mini High Tea I suppose.

We usually have our main meal on Sundays in the early evening (family work commitments) but if we have it at lunchtime we're usually so full we can hardly bear to think about food for the rest of the day!

We don't do the full Sunday roast here for various reasons (work patterns, dietary restrictions) but when I was growing up we usually had egg on toast

Oh my grandma always used to do salmon and cucumber sandwiches. I'd forgotten all about that. Really fancy one now.

We eat in the evening now but as a child when we ate the Sunday roast at lunchtime my mother would make trifle or chocolate eclairs or scones in the afternoon and we’d have them with sandwiches or toasted crumpets. I honestly can’t imagine cooking a full roast for 1.30 and spending the afternoon baking but different times…..

Cheeseboard.

I make some cheese scones and some fruit ones

We eat at kids tea time now if doing a roast, but as a child it was at lunch. Tea would be something like crumpets or English muffins, basically anything that could be toasted followed by rice pudding that had been cooked in the bottom of the oven whilst the meat was in. Really thick skin, yum! Thinking back, this was because my Dad ran a shop and left over milk in glass bottles from the week would be used up like this. We wouldn’t have frozen it in those days.

Dippy eggs or pancakes as a child. Now I do roasts for the evening

Cheese sandwich

Nothing. If I have a roast, I don't need to eat again that day. Which I know sounds like MN bullshit bingo!

“Bread and butter” for Sunday tea when I was growing up - ie. find some bread and make a simple sandwich and be done with it - maybe a bag of crisps if you were lucky. (Or even better - stick the crisps in between the bread and butter and make a crisp sandwich - perfection)

Supper would be homemade potato bread with the leftover potatoes from the dinner. Nothing better than hot potato bread with butter dripping off it, while sitting curled up in the armchair.

We used to have light sandwiches (not with the joint meat though!) with different nibbles and a cake/dessert of some kind. Nothing heavy but obviously drinks...a good old cup of tea/coffee, juice etc.

Little sandwiches and a slice of cake. Maybe a sausage roll or some cheesy crackers.

We’ve always had a late lunch/early dinner so around 6ish. That way you can just have a late breakfast and only have to prepare two meals. Cheese and biscuits later if people get peckish.

Nothing. Too full from lunch.

Cheese on toast or Welsh rarebit are perfect but I usually opt just for cheese and crackers

Crumpets and cake 🙂

If we have a main meal lunch I do Lunch type stuff for the evening

• something on toast
• nice bread and cheeses/cold meats
• cheese crackers dips
• soup with cheese on toast
• flatbreads, dips, antipasti yep bits if we have any

muller corners are a fave Sunday night pud!
