Sunday Roast polite discussion thread.

[Magnus McGinty]

But you are then limiting yourself to only having roast beef . . . or are you 'one of those' who think yorkshire can be eaten with anything

Only if you have beef

Never heard of this. Sounds a bizarre limitation to me.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

I'm fairly certain toad in the hole doesn't contain beef lol.

what's that got to with a Sunday roast?

 

[bemused]

Red cabbage, king of the sides.

Oh, I didn't realise that the beef limitation applied only to Sunday roasts. The mind boggles.

roast beef and yorkshire pudding is one of the most famous British dishes.
I think many pubs must have introduced the puddings to all of their roasts cos they're so cheap to make/buy

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I also grew up only having Yorkshire pudding with roast beef so it still feels wrong to me when they come with every roast dinner.

In days of yore the puddings would often be eaten as a starter.

Again, from memory of my mother - she used to use get the melted beef fat from the joint and used that the "line" the yorkshire pudding tray - hence beef / yorkshire pudding

I used to go out with a girl from Mexborough, South Yorkshire and whenever we went up to see her folks it was always served like this. They also ate christmas cake with cheese on. Funny lot, northerners.

I just mentioned doing this very thing on the heart attack thread the other day.
Well not with cheese on. You sort of eat them together but they're not one and the same.

Here’s a nice veggie roast I found.

 

[magneze]

The peas and carrots look ok

 

[magneze]

Roast parsnips though. Worse than sprouts. At least sprouts are obvious and easy to avoid. Parsnips are ninja evil looking like roast potatoes but tasting like puke .

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Roasted sprouts with a sprinkling of salt are supreme. I’m not arsed about parsnips.

 

[Epona]

Probably better than the Iceland roast dinner ready meals - I mean barely, but I think the veggie one just edges into the lead.

Top roast. How much were you knocking them out for - assuming this links to what you posted earlier?

The gravy looks like someone pissed on the plate.

 

[strung out]

Mum always cooked long grain rice to go with roast chicken when we were kids. Roast potatoes went with every other roast meat though.

Think it might have been a Canadian thing. Did anyone else have rice with their Sunday roast?

 

[existentialist]

Sqrouts are for christmas dinner and for then throwing into the bin when you eaten the rest

*shakes fist at sky

I can vouch for the fact that rabbits quite like them . The bin would be a waste.

 

[Ax^]

edits to add as long as you have rabbits who like them...

Yeah these were a tenner a pop. I wasn't gonna start doing them at until after the january doldrums finished but they seem to be really popular so ill just keep doing them every sunday now.

Spuds look good! broccoli and sprouts too. I'm not really sure what the other stuff is though
