Not sure it counts as a Sunday Roast (not the way it's served, but no roasties isn't a roast dinner to me), but it certainly does look good!

Yorkie filled with beef and mash. Pretty good as it goes.

looks eatable but

There’s one in town with roasties (the full Monty). I’ll do that one next week.

Turkey and gammon is something I'd do - as long as it was heavy on the turkey though, I find a little gammon goes a long way.

Was it good?

slightly more gammon than turkey, veg (apart from the spuds) were a bit tired

fairly average really, but it's been first roast (apart from mum-tat's xmas lunch) since before lockdown

Since when had cauliflower cheese been part of a traditional roast dinner? I've noticed this over the past year or so, especially around Christmas, when lots of supermarkets adverts/promotional materials included images of cauliflower cheese or listed it as one of the items.

Since when? I mean, braised red cabbage I can get behind. I like that. But when you've got Brussels sprouts, carrots, parsnips, red cabbage, roast potatoes (and maybe mash too), there's no room on the plate for cauliflower cheese.

And then there's the thought of cheese sauce and gravy mingling and curdling. Bleurgh!

I lived with some one 20 years ago and when she did sunday roast for the extended family included as one of the ingredients on the plate cauliflower cheese. That was the first time I had come across it but have known others to do it since then.

some years back, i was in an informal sunday evening roast consortium, a few of us provided the makings and a quid or three for the meter, host did the cooking (apart from tendency to put the greens on same time as the roast, he was fairly good at it)

one time did involve incident where he said the kittens would not be able to jump on to the kitchen surfaces, and they went paddling in the roasting pans while we were eating

Had the mini-roast that was supposed to be on Sunday but I didn't feel up to cooking.

Roast chicken thighs - skin on, bone in, pulled some of the meat off the bone for Jakey to have (meat, not bone) after I had finished my meal if he behaved while I was eating, he didn't, he still got some chicken though Life's too short (even more so for cats) to try to bribe an elderly cat to behave before he gets to enjoy some freshly cooked chicken.
Roast spuds, honey roast parsnips and carrots, steamed broccoli, sage & onion stuffing (pimped up packet stuff mind you), gravy.

OH had a Lidl mature cheddar and spinach wellington which burst out of its puff pastry coating all over the baking tray.

Forgot to do the cabbage, never mind, we'll have champ with something later in the week.
