What are you having for Easter Sunday lunch?

Sat in the kitchen waiting for potatoes to cook and listening to Radio 2 with phone ins about their lunch.

We're having chicken breast wrapped in pancetta, roast potatoes, mash, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire puddings and all the vegetables: peas, carrots, parsnips, sprouts.

We've always had an Easter Sunday lunch. Interested to hear if it's still a thing or do people not bother these days?

Roast lamb obvs.

Crumpets.

Got a slow roasting lamb leg in the oven for this evening, and then having a big roast turkey lunch tomorrow with the in laws.

Just had a fish finger sandwich. DH is making cottage pie later and I will eat that during the night because I am on nightshift tonight. We know how to live in our house.

Parents over so Roast Chicken. My mum doesn't do red meat.
I also realised I didn't buy frozen Roast potatoes so Chicken, hash brown dippers, cabbage and asparagus.
Chocolate cake.

We've had a banana. Did have a full English for breakfast though 😋

Grapes.

roast beef, gammon and chicken with roast potatoes, carrot and turnip, sprouts, cauliflower cheese, stuffing, Yorkshire puds, pigs in blankets, beef gravy and chicken gravy. got 14 coming.

All in oven cooking, just having a glass of wine while waiting for it to cook,

Just the two of us today, so bacon baps!

Traditional picnic tea later with DH who is working unti mid afternoon and DS at a local beauty spot.

Lamb steaks with mashed and roasted potatoes, carrots, parsnips, peas, Yorkshire puddings and stuffing. Basically all our favourite things. I’ve never been wedded to what should be served.

Fermented? They’re my favourite. 🤣

Picky bits at lunchtime - we cooking a massive pork dinner - cauliflower cheese, roasties, mashed swede, sprouts, carrots, spring greens. Then mini egg cheesecake- we were meant to eat that at lunchtime but one of our guests had a tree come down in the night so we are delayed

Hot cross buns & about five kilos of chocolate.

DP will roast a leg of lamb for dinner this evening.

Cornish pasty and a pint of beer

Veggie so having a Quorn roast with the veg and stuff. I told ds if I was alone I'd just have chocolate, but he didn't take the hint 😂

Steak, mushrooms cooked with butter and garlic before being put in a ramekin with stilton and breadcrumbs on the top, broccoli, not sure whether I need to add potatoes or not yet.

Chocolate.

Going to daughters for a veggie roast at 3. I’ve done a pudding of apple crumble and custard .

Steak, roast potatoes, carrots, parsnips, cauliflower cheese, broccoli and Yorkshires. Apple pie and custard after because we’re chocolated out.

Toast for lunch!
About 7pm, mackerel pate and melba toast followed by slow roast lamb in red wine gravy with Dauphinoise potatoes and other veg.
DD will be bringing pudding.

Baked gammon with a honey & mustard glaze with parsley sauce, roast potatoes, carrots & runner beans, followed by mandarin jelly and as much chocolate as I can eat. We also have some St Clements hot cross buns.

Dh and i are going to the pub and will likely have a roast. Dc (grown up) are having pizza (from the freezer).

We always try and have the first bbq of the year so today we have burgers, pork steaks, salad, potato salad, halloumi and spicy rice.

Tomorrow will be lamb with all the trimmings.

We had a cooked breakfast for brunch. Dinner will be roast lamb, roast potatoes, red cabbage, carrots and peas. Yorkshires for DS and DH maybe. I have trifle for after but it will probably only be me that eats it.

Roast chicken; mini jackets; Yorkshire's; pigs in blankets; carrots and shallots in thyme butter; parmesan broccoli; creamed spinach; sweetcorn 'n' peas; gravy; cranberry sauce.

For pudding I have made a kind of banana, raisin and caramel cake (it's a use-up-what-we-have cake - the best cake!) which we will have with custard and more caramel poured on top.

Slow cooked lamb is currently in the slow cooker & all the usual veg (not sure what DH got as I’ve been at work so much lately). We’ll eat some time this evening.
Did a little Easter egg hunt for tiny DGC and had some Easter mini egg cheesecake too so too full for lunch!
