Whats your perfect roast dinner?

[Moominfan]

Making one tomorrow and won't be bothering with yorkshire puddings, don't care for them at all. I think they're the weakest part of the meal. My other half is aghast at this. wondering what everyone else's perfect Sunday dinner includes

... and 2 types of mustard.

I love Yorkshires, but until they make them gluten free I’ll be without them...

Yorkshires, homemade cauliflower cheese with lots of mustard, green beans, carrots, broccoli, roast potatoes, veggie stuffing, cranberry sauce and gravy.

DH sometimes does dauphinoise potatoes with a lamb joint - so good!

whispers i'm not a fan of yorkshire puddings either.

I don't actively dislike them and I'm happy enough to eat them just to be polite if someone else cooks them for me but given a choice I would rather have extra roast potatoes.

My favourite is a really well roasted piece of British lamb chump, still slightly pink in the middle with glazed carrots, my rosemary/garlic roast potatoes and whatever greens I have in the fridge in a slightly salty lemony butter. I then make a mint sauce/redcurrant jelly gravy with the juices which is divine and ridiculously easy to make.

No Yorkshire puddings?!?!!

Reported!

Roast beef, suet pudding, yorkies, peas, carrots, peas and roast potatoes, with lots of gravy.

Roast beef of chicken for the meat
Roast potatoes really crispy
Brocolli and cauliflower
Yorkshire pudding
Pigs in blankets
Stuffing
Lots of gravy !!

Roast potatoes, Paxo sage and onion stuffing. So long as I have those two things I don't mind what else there is. Nice gravy (thin, proper meat juices and no Bisto nonsense) is good. Cauliflower. But mostly, potatoes and stuffing. Mmm.

Perfect Sunday dinner:
Roast chicken (inc very crispy skin)
Yorkshire puddings (at least 2)
Creamy mash
Perfect roast potatoes
Roasted carrots & parsnips
Broccoli
Lots of gravy

My ideal, no roast dinner.

I haven't eaten one in 25 years or more. They were drab, tense and joyless occasions when I was a child and teenager. Family relations were tense and meal times were a particular site of conflict, I was eating to quickly/slowly /messily/not holding my spoon properly/anything else he could think to pick at, so an extended miseryfest over Sunday dinner eating food I didn't want or like was pure torture.

Beef or lamb with Yorkshire puddings, roast tates, cauliflower, broccoli, sprouts, roasted parsnips and carrots. Thick gravy. Horseradish or mint sauce.

Roast beef; yorkies; deep, meaty gravy; horseradish; roasties; braised chantenay carrots and baby onions (sealed dish, tbs water, tbs butter, sakt, pepper, tsp sugar 90 mins; purple sprouting or spring greens, savoy)
.
Lamb: gravy with red wine and redcurrant jelly, mint sauce, leeks in garlic sauce, green beans of some sort, carrots - chantenay or batons roasties of course.

Pork: crackling, cider gravy, a hint of tarragon, (this needs an exquisite joint), roasties, simple chantenay or carrots and preferred green veg.

Chicken: sage and onion stuffing, white wine gravy (not thick), roasties, lighter veg (peas, beans, carrots), a little cranberry, bread sauce if I can be arsed.

Medium rare beef, yorkshire puddings roasties and green veg plenty of home made gravy and big glass of red wine.

won't be bothering with Yorkshire puddings

I would just eat Yorkshires and gravy if I could get away with it.

I don't normally resort to personal attacks on MN but I'm tempted this time.

For a proper roast sunday dinner you start with a plate of Yorkshire puddings as your starter. Then you have a roast meat, roast potatoes and other veg as you wish. But the key ingredient is the YPs

This has got to be a reverse or something

OhTheRoses

I think we would get on well. You write about food like I do

Fancy roast ie Christmas : Rib of beef, Roast potatoes, Red cabbage, Sprouts, Cauliflower cheese, buttered leeks & Carrots, peas. Shit load of gravy and horseradish sauce ( yorkshires for those that like them)

Standard roast : Leg of lamb, roast potatoes, Kale, Peas. Shit load of Gravy and mint sauce.

Roast beef.
Yorkshire puddings.
Roast potatoes.
Roast carrots.
Steamed broccoli.
Green beans.
Gravy.

@silverontoast the Tesco ready made free from gluten free ones are nice! Otherwise sub flour for cornflour. Beautiful fluffy gluten free yorkies!

Ideal roast is beef - preferably made by my gran. Roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings,carrots, leeks in cheese, broccoli, french beans, gravy, horseradish.

Yum! - off to my grans for lunch tomorrow and am so excited!

Leg of lamb, goose fat roast potatoes, mushy peas, roast parsnips, marmalade carrots, Yorkshires, mint sauce, gravy made from the juices of the roast (none of this Bisto bollocks). Or roast rib of beef, same veg (potatoes with beef dripping), yorkies with beef dripping, creamed horseradish, horseradish gravy from the beef juices. Mmmmm.

Although tomorrow for a change we are having DH's choice of boiling bacon and colcannon, which is what his mum used to make and we don't really have that often, despite it being something he does really well.

Perfect roast;

Beautiful cut of meat... Beef is my personal favourite
Home made roast spuds
Home made Yorkshire puds
Roast parsnips
Fresh carrots
Peas
Fine green beans
Cauliflower
Broccoli

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Aunt Bessie's YP!? 3 mins in the oven and they're almost as good as homemade.

My perfect roast is pork with loads of crackling, yorkies, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, parsnips, carrots, broccoli and spring greens.

Now really fancy a roast!

Death to Aunt Bessie products!
