To think this is an abomination of a roast dinner!

[IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece]

Friend asked if I wanted to stay for her "famous roast dinner" as she'd cooked plenty.

Now I fucking love a roast dinner so was thrilled...it was Steamed chicken, peas, cheesy spinach, cauli, Yorkshire, stuffing and rice all covered in gravy and cheese with a big dollop of mayo.

Rice...in a roast...with gravy on

I love her dearly but AIBU to think she's fucking insane

LTB

Call 101 immediately

Go non contact

It's the least you can do.

Oh. My. God...that sounds lovely (apart from the mayo) and I could eat that right now! Extra points for the Yorkshire puds too. Where does she live? Would she like a new friend?

She also puts grated cheddar on a curry
Ooh, I'm going to try that next time I have curry!

Its two completely different meals smushed up together on one plate. Each of these meals would be rather nice on its own, but neither is a roast!

This is wrong and upsets me greatly x

I d

Oops!

I didn't even know one could steam a chicken

Cancel the fucking cheque

Now "infamous " roast dinner. How did she make the gravy without roasting anything?

Cheese and curry can be OK if its Paneer...Cheddar or anything strong sounds horrible and no I'm not going to try it.

As for this "roast" dinner I think your friend is in serious need of help in the kitchen. Lessons at the least so this abomination isn't repeated. Its not as if its any healthier than a proper roast with cheese and mayo pushing the fat, salt and calorie count!

That sounds like a plateful of random leftovers.It isn't a roast dinner, it's freezer surprise.

You need to invite her round and cook her a proper roast

Me and my GF get in this argument a LOT as we have a Roast Dinner company that delivers a fresh roast dinner to people in their homes every Sunday, and we've had people messaging us saying "It's not a roast dinner if there is no cabbage/parsnips/horseradish" etc.

I agree that my idea of a roast would NEVER include rice but it's an individual taste... although I personally wouldn't call that a roast dinner bcoz nothing is roasted lol

Maybe invite her to yours and show her what a roast SHOULD be, as in ROAST chicken, potatoes and NO rice!

We went to visit our extremely thin and health aware friends for Sunday lunch. They served a skinless chicken, which was steamed in a bag in the oven. We each had a potato, a carrot and a handful of peas.

We fed the dcs chips on the way home.

I actually like the sound of your friend's dinner, but it is not a roast.

OP, I feel your pain.

But am intrigued by steamed chicken. Was it a whole chicken? How do you steam it and how long for? Was it all pale and floppy?

I love the smell of a roast sizzling away in the oven...did the other guests think it was great?

MY DPs gran used to but super noodles on the side of his roast dinner.
I still don't understand this... neither does he

ChrisPrattsFace - that made me 😂😂😂

The best roast I ever had was served with wild rice (with onion and mushrooms).

Was she needing to use stuff up in the cupboards? Confused.......

Bork!
So many issues with this so called Sunday roast

Imagining the horrible swirling consistency of gravy mixed with mayo...vom

Cheese? Chuffing cheese? Sorry. You lost me there.

That meal sounds horrendous BUT.....I grew up not knowing that roasts didn't automatically come with rice! My parents are from South Africa and apparently everyone there eats a roast with rice. Honesty don't knock it until you've tried it. Rice, roasties and gravy is prob my fave combo!!

Steamed chicken ain't a roast!

I would have left at being deprived of roast potatoes too
