My husband thinks his head would drop off if he didn’t have his traditional Sunday roast.

i’ve tried to explain that it’s not like it was 20 yrs ago !

So - tomorrow are you having

a) A traditional Sunday Roast
b) a different at home meal
c)eating out
d) something else

A) but it's not a usual thing for me. I'm caring for a family member who has a similar opinion to your partner.

Is he going to cook it?

AuntieMarys · 25/03/2023 19:26

We are going out for a Sunday lunch. I never cook one!!!

PuttingDownRoots · 25/03/2023 19:28

Going out for belated mothers day meal.

Rarely cook a full on roast dinner.

I hate Sunday roasts. We normally have takeaway. Getting bored with takeaway so need something else with minimal cook.
Maybe pizza or jacket potato

GoodChat · 25/03/2023 19:29

We're having a Sunday roast but we don't have them every week, and DP cooks them

Is he going to cook it?

Exactly. Tell him he can have what he likes so long as he cooks or even buys it.

B, I do like a roast dinner but we only have them a few times a year. As a kid though we did have a roast dinner most Sundays.

gogohmm · 25/03/2023 19:31

I like a roast but not fixated on it. Not sure yet, need to go shopping

Demeter1978 · 25/03/2023 19:31

We only have a full roast in the autumn and winter but even then not every weekend. Tomorrow we are having chicken chasseur, rice and broccoli.

Eating out. Sod all that cooking malarkey

TomatoSandwiches · 25/03/2023 19:31

He can cook a roast if he wants it can't he?

We will be having a substantial homemade lasange with salad and Berry bake with custard for pudding.

Groutyonehereagain · 25/03/2023 19:33

Roast chicken, stuffing, roast potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, peas and gravy. My Sunday roast is my favourite meal of the week. We almost always have a roast on Sunday. We had beef last week, pork the week before, next week we’re having lamb.

StaceyMeloni · 25/03/2023 19:33

A, but we only have a roast dinner occasionally and only during winter. I usually make lasagne on Sundays 😋

RandomExpletive · 25/03/2023 19:33

We have friends over and I’m doing pulled pork, three salads, potatoes and mango & passionfruit cheesecake

not a normal Sunday! We often have brunch and a soup/sandwich/omelette for supper

OrangeSofa1 · 25/03/2023 19:34

We will have a roast tomorrow as could be the last one for a while, it is a winter Sunday meal! Summer Sundays always a bbq.

Thisisnotreallymyname · 25/03/2023 19:35

I do the cooking - quite happily. He doesn’t / can’t cook, never has.
But equally he mows the lawn, does the other house stuff, that I have no interest whatsoever in doing ! . Quite a traditional household.

Roast dinner here , definitely a family favourite . But I'm just as happy to cook anything . And we don't do one every Sunday

Idratherbepaddleboarding · 25/03/2023 19:36

B but we had one last week as it was the dog’s birthday 😂.

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 25/03/2023 19:36

I did not grow up in a ‘roast’ household but I love them. I’m bloody good at them too!

I do roast a joint of meat or a whole chicken every week but don’t always do the whole hog (pun intended). I’m single so roasting a joint / chicken feeds me for a good few days. It’s cost effective for me.

Tomorrow, I’m poaching a chicken in a white wine stock and roasting new potatoes (they're not Jersey Royals so this isn’t sacrilege!). Going to do poached carrots and asparagus.

hidethexylophone · 25/03/2023 19:38

We all love a roast but not every week - and very rarely in the summer!

Tomorrow we're having home made chicken and bacon pie with mash and veg.

Hoolihan · 25/03/2023 19:39

Couldn't afford a roast every week even if I wanted to cook it, which I don't! We have one maybe once a month in winter and not at all in summer.

OldTinHat · 25/03/2023 19:39

I live on my own so will just have soup!

SouthCountryGirl · 25/03/2023 19:40

I'm away at the moment. I do like them but can't be arsed to do one as a single person! Usually only have one at Christmas

Lulu2171 · 25/03/2023 19:40

Roast lamb tomorrow yum! Most weekends, we're not very traditional, but we just really like it and it feels good to have a special meal on a Sunday.
