I don't work sundays and always have a roast dinner with the family at the table.
I dish up a spare dinner to have at work on a Monday.
when I have my dinner on a Monday I have all sorts of strange looks and comments from my co workers which makes me think no one bothers anymore.

The kind of comments I get are what you have dinner every week? do you cook it yourself? not your wife?

I agree, can't beat a good Sunday roast ( fnarr fnarr). Beef and roasties with all the trimmings a high point of the week.
I'm lucky in that I occasionally work nights near Smithfield Market and am able to get great joints very cheaply, compared to my local butcher, so much so that I have invested in a second freezer. Discovered lamb shanks, with mash and a redcurrent gravy, beautiful. And I cook, and wash up.

What's not to like about a good roast dinner!
We try to have a roast every Sunday and it's a joint of 'top rump' today.
The beef's out the fridge and warming up, i've just made the cauliflower cheese, veg is all peeled/prepped and the yorkshire batter is ready.............along with the horseradish sauce.

Deeeeelish

Edit; Along with 'Temps', i've done all the washing up too.

If both your cheese sauce on the cauli and your gravy are thick enough, then there is no combination - they stay on different sides of the plate ....

Yes I still have a Roast Dinner most Sundays & sometimes mid week as well. The only problem is that it tends to be usually pork or chicken as beef comes in huge pieces I'd be eating it for months. Lamb is quite difficult to get where I am (except those tiny breakfast chops)the only place that seems to decent lamb is the halal butchers up the block from me. (I cant remember the last time I had a Yorkshire pudding )

As a teacher, I'd long to serve Gove & Morgan from a rotating spit following the long painful roasting that both have deserved for a considerable period of time. To then serve with the potato heads that are Cameron; Osborne etc....

I was having this chat last week, i'm 33 and as a kid growing up and even to this day, all the women in my family - mum, nan, auntie's etc cook a roast. It's almost blind tradition. It will never change.
As a kid growing up it was kind of a bummer though as i my house my mum focused on the kitchen whilst my dad watched the grand prix or did gardening, so my day was a right off. Couldn't get much done.
Sometimes we would go over to my nan's with all the rest of the family and hang out there.

Now i have been living in Canada, the sunday roast is non existent - sunday is just another saturday - do what you want, go where you want etc.
Families do however meet for brunch out here - which i did find pretentious. But it's similar and then let's you have a day to do the usual stuff.
However, i do miss big family meals once a week, i do miss carvery's - so i do often roast a chicken, throw in spuds, stuffing, yorkshires for good measure and is good enough.
I think it's the idea - of coming together once a week, which is great and i guess a big roast is fitting for that.

 


This was once a quality forum....

Yep I still have a roast most Sundays (had pork today!) I normally cook it to be fair as I'm a better cook than Mrs KBLF.

I NORMALLY do a cauliflower and broccoli cheese. Gotta make sure you put a couple of teaspoons of whole grain mustard in with the cheese sauce and a few drops of Worcestershire sauce.


Also stick a couple of teaspoons of Marmite in your red hot goose fat then tip your boiled potatoes in.... Marmite roast potatoes... Lovely!!!

 


Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

Growing up Sunday was a day that my mum ripped the house apart doing housework while I watched a video on the sofa and the roast dinner cooked. Also the only day of the week I had a desert as well. so much so that one scorching summers day one of my brother's decided to light the bbq and and she went mental because she couldn't do a roast (she is quite hot headed to be fair and doesn't take much to start her off)

I don't cook one as much myself as my kids all push it round their plates and eat very little of it and my husband prefers a big dinner after a days work. Strangely though all that said my 6 year old requests I cook one anyway as he likes us all round the table eating together
