Roast meat
Roast potatoes
Veg 1
Veg 2
Stuffing
Yorkshire puddings

Is what makes a roast dinner imo.

Roast meat
Mash
Veg in w/e quantities
Maybe Yorkshire pudding/stuffing

Aibu to think this is not a roast dinner?

Definitely roast potatoes and roast chicken without bread sauce is a travesty.

The meat s the roast. We have it with mash, various vg, yorkshires and gravy. Roast turkey is my youngst favourite meal but he dosent like roast potatoes. It's still a roast.

Fresh veg (broccoli)
Yorkshire puddings if the meat is beef

A roast must contain..

Roast potatoes
Meat
Veg
Yorkshire pudding

I wouldn’t settle for anything less, mashed potatoes instead or roast potatoes is just wrong.

A roast dinner without roast potatoes is a crying shame. When I was very poor, I would make “roast” dinners with the ‘roast’ element being the potatoes. Just potatoes, veg and gravy, maybe some 20p value stuffing! I still have it when I’m feeling sorry for myself.

We roast chicken with carrots, onions, garlic, sweet potato and cauliflower. That's what I call a roast dinner.

These days I throw caution to the wind and have Yorkshire puddings with any meat I choose

I agree with you!! What a disappointment! I wouldn’t mind missing the stuffing but that’s all ☺️. Mmmm making roast beef and Yorkshire’s now 😋

Roast potatoes are the best part of a roast dinner.

And Yorkshires.

And gravy

I'm American and when I hear you guys talk about roast dinner, I think pot roast - meat (usually beef) onions, potatoes and carrots all roasted together. Sometimes the pan juices are made into gravy and sometimes not. There are variations but those are the basics. I will often roast some cabbage wedges with mine to up the vegetable content of the meal.

What's "taters", precious?

Last year we were invited to a lovely Thanksgiving meal here in the USA, everything was delicious but no roast potatoes. I also went to a very posh fundraising Christmas lunch, all the trimmings except roast potatoes. Just not right. I’m not sure I’ve seen a proper roast potato here, except at the homes of other expats.

Inlaw baked beans ? That can only be called an abomination.

Minimum for me, meat veg & potatoes. Roast pots extra. Don't eat gravy.

Sorry but lamb gravy has to be eaten with mash and mint sauce.

As much as I love roasters with beef I prefer plain boiled pots runs and hides

Mint sauce, whatever the roast it has to have mint sauce

Oh and mash to mop up the gravy and mint sauce!

A roast dinner with no roast potatoes?! That is outrageous. Roasted are my absolute favourite way of eating potatoes.

A roast dinner should have:-
Roast meat
Roast potatoes
Stuffing
Yorkshire puddings
Gravy
Vegetables (preferably peas,carrots,sprouts,cauliflower)
Bread sauce (yes,I know most people seem to hate it,but I love it)

I remember being given mashed potato as well as roast the first time I went to dinner with my future husband's (now ex) family. I thought .

Also have never understood the lack of gravy on meals! Gravy - got to be thick, meat juices with meats bits and bisto powder (not granules), none of this watery 'jus' shit

Food of the gods!

A roast has to have roast veg
Meat with veg, mash etc is a cooked dinner

1hello2hello
I'd agree, the first time I was offered them i thought they were joking and actually laughed. OH didn't know it wasn't a normal part of a roast until we met

I think if the meat/meal alternative is roasted then it's a roast! Lots of different accompaniments due to personal choice - ours is mash as well as roast potatoes (kids don't like roast potatoes), some sort of gratin or cauliflower cheese and always Yorkshire puddings and stuffing, whatever it is! And veg usually broccoli and carrots at least as the kids won't eat anything else

Cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire pudding only go with roast beef.

I had parsnips instead of potatoes today.

Imvho, a roast is a colossal disappointment if it lacks roast potatoes, roast parsnips and huge quantities of gravy.

Toby carveries offer macaroni cheese with your roast. NOt convinced.
