FabSwingers.com forum: Sunday roast

By (user no longer on site) OP

Love me a Sunday roast, think it's got to be my favourite meal.

My questions are:

What meat do you have? Do you like to switch it up?

What veggies or other items that are a must have?

Gravy or no gravy? (please don't admit you have no gravy, that's absurd

)

The cost of meat now means roast lunches are a bit of a luxury at home.

More likely to go and eat at the local Toby when they have deals on.

My favorite is lamb or goose at Xmas

Roast potatoes

Cauliflower cheese

Mac and cheese if it's Caribbean affair

Greens (I'm not fussed what green veg really)

Yorkshire puddings on occasion

Roast carrots

Swede

Gravy made from scratch

Crispy roast potatoes are a must

I've not heard of mac and cheese on a Sunday roast, can't say that sounds appealing to me.

It's more like a pie than that saucy version.

Oh and to answer the question.

If I’m at the toby, then I’ll have beef pork and lamb, because I can.

Roast spuds, carrots, peas, yorkie, pigs in blankets. Gallons of gravy.

Someone told me to try them roasted with brown sugar on, I actually prefer them over honeyed!

I agree! Usually beef, but also enjoy lamb, turkey, chicken and gammon.

Proper goose fat roasties, fluffy on the inside, crunchy af on the outside.

Yorkies with any meat!

Cauliflower/broccoli cheese

Carrots

Snips

Swimming in proper gravy

Mint sauce as well if having lamb

Pigs in blankets and stuffing if having poultry

Chicken or beef. But in my house the consensus is yorkers and pigs in blankets with either main meat.

Always rosties, always mash too, carrots and generally the smelly veg; sprouts, broccoli and asparagus.

And yes is the answer to Gravy. Anyone who eats their lunch dry, or moans when the items touch on a plate, should be thrown in the nearest well.

My nipper will drown hers in mint sauce too. Wee heathen.

Ooooh pork belly, roasties, red cabbage, roasted carrots and parsnips, steamed brocoli with cheesy leeks, Yorkshire pudding and extra gravy is my ideal roast.

Tonight I’m having leftover Chinese though as I over ordered yesterday

We normally alternate chicken and pork leg and try to make another meal during the week from the leftovers. Maybe beef every other month as a treat on payday.

If it's a quiet Sunday I might do two different types of potatoes, so roast and dauphinoise/boulanger or parmentier and dutchess.

Almost always carrots broccoli. Today we have some sweetheart cabbage left over from earlier in the week so we'll be frying that in some butter with cumin seeds.

I don't cook a roast dinner often so when I do I tend to be slightly... excessive. So, bear in mind this is four/five times a year.

Meat - Turkey, chicken or a beef wellington. Sometimes salmon wellington.

Sides - Roast potatoes in goose fat, shredded and sautéed sprouts with lardons and garlic, fine beans finished with shallots and more lardons, roasted chanteray carrots with a drizzle of honey and thyme, tenderstem broccoli, cauliflower cheese (sometimes macaroni cheese as well) pigs in blankets, homemade yorkshire puddings, lots of gravy.

There's a reason I don't cook them often.

I try to cook a Sunday roast every week, either beef or pork.

Always with homemade Yorkshire puddings, gravy, mash, veg, and some weeks I'll do roast potatoes and some weeks I make cauliflower cheese.

Sounds lush

Never had a salmon wellington before!?
