Discuss the glorious meal that is a roast dinner.
Do you like them? (the only answer is yes)
Which is your favourite? Do you have a Sunday roast every week?
I like all roast dinners, except beef (I'm not a huge fan of beef). Pork and lamb are my favourites.
I break all the rules by having Yorkshire puddings with all roast dinners, not just beef! :cool:
Asparagus, stuffing balls, roast potatoes and all the rest. Mmmm! :jess:
I don't have one every Sunday, but I do every few weeks.
I had roast last night! Every Sunday! Sunday is roast time. It is my favorite family meal.
Roast beef stewing in gravy for hours an hours, mashed potatoes, more gravy, sweet corn, roasted onions and carrots, potato rolls and butter. Give it to me!
I like a good Sunday roast. :D Ham or turkey is usually my thing. Roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings, SO MANY VEGETABLES... yum. :D
I cannot get enough of roasted meats and veggies and omg...yorkshire puddings
I love roast beef. We just do it up simple with carrots and potatoes and salt and pepper. And prime rib.
And roasted chicken stuffed with garlic, lemons, rosemary, & thyme.. nom nom. Or with a herb crust stuffed under the skin.
I don't really have much use for roasts since I turned vegetarian. Honestly though, I was never a big fan of them to begin with.
They weren't a regular thing at home. We would only have them during the holidays or whenever dad had a craving.
There is absolutely no excuse for anyone in England to not visit the Brent Carvery. Climb up Brent Knoll, enjoy lovely Somerset scenery (which is basically flatflatflatflatflatflatflatflatHILLflatflatHILLflatflatflatflatflatflat...) and then head down to the carvery at the base. Honestly the best roast dinner in the world.
Roast! Potatoes, pumpkin and kumara, onions, asparagus, cauliflower, beetroot and carrots, served with peas, gravy and stuffing - there is absolutely no reason for herbivores to go without roast, dammit.
I guess I'm not a big thing of repetition, because after having roast dinner every single god damn sunday for eighteen years of my life I was absolutely sick to death of them. Since going veggie one of the best things in my life is I never have to eat one again!
Yorkshire puddings are immense. I would quite happily eat yorkshire puds with all of my meals!
roast and yorkshires and gravy and mash and veg
Oh my goodness, yes. I love Yorkshire puddings. I also like my gravy quite thick, and I also love pigs in blankets as well, that universally accompany 'important' roasts, like Christmas and dinner. I could eat them all day. I love broccoli too, to mop up the gravy.Quote:

Just started actually salivating over the thought of Yorkshire pudding with gravy in it. :drool:
Of course I love roast dinners. Anyone who doesn't is mental.
The best one I had was in a bar/restaurant in Chorlton, South Manchester. You had a roast with all the trimmings and the whole things was served in a giant yorkshire pudding... you know you want this.
I don't make roasts until cooler weather comes along... But with the weather here the last few weeks I may as well get started on all those warm autumn and winter meals.
Tell me about Yorkshire pudding. I have never had it.
I have absolutely no idea how to describe a Yorkshire pudding. O_O
It's a little piece of heaven :love:Quote:

Crispy on the outside, very airy and fluffy inside. But when you add gravy, it absorbs it like a beast and becomes all gravy-sodden. :D
Yorkshire puddings are made from a batter of eggs, flour and milk. Baked in the oven. The best part of a roast dinner.
