Sunday Roast v anything Else !

[Thisisnotreallymyname]

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

We have a roast most Sundays in autumn and winter, if not a roast it’s toad in the hole. It’s a good way to get tons of vegetables in the teens. When it warms up we’ll move onto bbqs on a Sunday.

We very rarely have a roast. Tomorrow we are having steak pie with mash and veg. There's only two of us and we both work on Sundays, so never seems worth the effort. I do adore a roast though, and had I been lucky enough to be blessed with a family I would have loved to do it weekly and make it a tradition.

Yeah, we have a roast quite a lot. Bbq or a chicken in summer with salad, potatoes etc.

Mine is the house that friends and family land at knowing they'll leave well fed and watered though. A roast is commonplace here

I cook a roast every Sunday with stuffing and yorkshires and sometime midweek as well. Not only is it my favourite meal but so easy to do.

They’re so boring, just a plate full of bland components swimming in gravy. DH would have one each week if he could but I’ve moved him onto more interesting dishes.

Sausage sandwiches tomorrow. I do a full roast at Xmas, Easter, Mothers’ Day. That’s it.

Most of us are having fish pie. DH and DD are having chicken & bacon pie from the freezer. We have a roast once or twice a month. Had roast chicken last week, it was lovely. We get bored of them if we have them every week.

Eating out tomorrow
We probably have a roast once a month - usually on a Saturday or occasionally Sunday if everyone here

"Sausage sandwiches tomorrow. I do a full roast at Xmas, Easter, Mothers’ Day. That’s it."

Just sausage sandwich? Thats what we're having for breakfast 🤣

"They’re so boring, just a plate full of bland components swimming in gravy."

For most pub roast dinners I'd agree with you. Not my roast dinner though, bloody delicious.

B - macaroni cheese

I like a roast dinner but definitely not every Sunday

We're having spaghetti Bolognese. I bought cheesy garlic bread because it's Sunday.

We have a roast most weeks
I enjoy pottering round the kitchen ,glass of wine or two,some music on
So different to the rush of dinner on working days

Roast every sunday. We love them!

You're doing it wrong if you think they're bland

This must be your cooking then.

I used to cook a Sunday roast most weeks, but in recent years, not so much. We might have a Sunday roast a few times a year or go out for one. But most weeks we don't.

I cook a roast about once a month. Tomorrow is not that day, we're having a curry instead.

Roast chicken tomorrow. We don't have a roast every weekend. Our last roast was in a few weeks ago. We were on holiday in Wales and pre booked at a local pub. We arrived to find we were the only customers and the sound of pinging microwaves soon filled the air. It was horrible, tasteless and they had the cheek to charge us £20 a head.

We often have a roast dinner, but it is more about having a meal that is a bit more special really. Maybe due to being a bit more expensive, or a bit more time consuming. Tomorrow we are not, then next weekend we are highly likely to.

Tomorrow I am making dauphinios potatoes, chicken Balmoral, brandy pepper sauce, tenderstem broccoli with peas, red pepper and red onion and Clementine roasted carrots. Then sticky toffee pudding. So it feels Sunday dinnerish.

Our typical Sunday is a cooked full English for my DH after church (he cooks this himself) then evening is french bread, cheeses, charcuterie etc.
We have a traditional roast (usually beef, maybe a chicken) about once a month between September and April. Everyone loves a roast in our house!

We're having curry, with naan and samosas.

I wanted to but there was nothing worth roasting in my local Spar meat section. All the meat was chopped, minced, sliced, or reconstructed miscellaneous bits in an elastic net. Not even a whole chicken!
The price of meat has gone up so much that people are turning to (and supermarkets are offering) cheaper meat dishes that can be done in a frying pan, also to reduce fuel costs. I had liver and onions “alla Veneziana” the other day for the first time in 10+ years.
So tomorrow it’s reheated veg soup with ham sandwiches, strawberries cut up small with lemon syrup, lemon loaf cake and vanilla ice cream. Using a bit of ingenuity to make the dessert the star of the show.

I love roast dinners and my kids(teens) would stage a mutiny if we didn't have a roast dinner on a Sunday with roast potatoes.
However we are going out to eat tomorrow.
DH generally cooks - although the aftermath of a roast dinner is a bit tedious - lots of greasy pans that don't always fir in the dishwasher.

B, we hardly ever have a roast, too many picky eaters in my house so I don’t bother!
