To Roast or not to Roast that is the question?

[ed_blackadder_1]

Are you having Sunday Roast in the traditional sense either lunchtime or in the evening or do you have something different?

Tonight we are having a roast dinner. But we don't always have them on Sunday. Sometimes I will even do one mid week. LOL Just when the mood strikes and I am up to all the cooking.

Even made homemade yorkshires too. 🙂

If I am at home, there will usually be a roast dinner of some sort on Sunday. Not always a cooked joint, we may buy sliced cooked roast beef or pork and warm through in some gravy, but there are always roast pots, yorkshire puds and a variety of veggies. It is the only day when there is more than one veg. If son is visiting it is always roast chicken.

If a joint of meat is bought on special offer and there are "left overs", these will be sliced and frozen in a little stock to make a roast dinner another week, but the aim is usually to buy a joint that is just big enough for one meal.

It is unusual for us to have a roast other than on a Sunday - mostly "him indoors" prefers to cook chops or a ready meal - he's not keen on much food prep!

I always used to do a Sunday roast during the winter months, but now don't. I used to alternate between beef ,pork,chuck or venison.
Strangely never lamb.

Just chucked a chicken in the Aga, but we don't always have roast on Sundays these days

Used to when the children were small as it's an easy meal for a number of people - less so when there are just two.  Any small piece of meat I roast seems to emerge from the oven the size of a pill !!!!  I'm ok at cooking for an army - one pot wonders - but anything requiring attention or accurate timing, count me out

I had whole meal brown rice with chuck & mushrooms, sound boring, it was! I'm now. Being tempted by a pack of three walnut whips hidden in the kitchen unit minus their walnut tops, bit pointless really cos I was the one that hid em,

Stroppy, we sometimes have pork loin chops with yorkies, roasties, veg etc

I slow roasted a piece of belly pork  all afternoon in the oven on onions, apple and cider  Was yummy and so tender 🙂

Usually have a roast as more time to prepare/cook and no activities etc to dash off to afterwards  !

We had Chicken thighs in white wine and cream sauce, (I added some casserole veg as well to make it go further)  with roast potatoes and savoy babbage, yummy and enough left for tomorrow as son didn't want any because he had a hangover - shame.

We normally have a roast as it is the only time we are all together, more often than not it is chicken, but sometimes pheasant, pork or brisket, the pork and brisket I always slow cook so it does itself.  We have been known to have sausages with roasties as well or a steak and kidney pie.  Very rarely have lamb as it is so expensive.

Ooooh ed! What times din dins?

We always go to our local on a Sunday for a traditional roast dinner......its always cooked to perfection and as the portions are so generous we do not have another meal ...maybe just a small snack later in the evening .

[bitsnknots]

We normally have a small hot pot with mixed veg for our Sunday lunch.  It doesn't bother me not having a roast but I bet it bothers the oxen losing their tails!!!!

[petitecalicocat]

I will do a Sunday roast dinner if the family are here if not we just have whatever we like .

Today it was just the two of us so he had steak & i had liver & onions 🙂

I suppose the traditional "Sunday Roast* was because most people were so poor, that they coukld only afford it on Sundays.
