The gravy looks like someone pissed on the plate.
The point was the inclusion of the Yorkshire pudding. Which is probably the only bit I would have eaten.

Yeah, but you think the gravy is the main event.
What do people think about what I call the mini roast. Had one tonight. Left over pigs in blankets (the lads had four each- younger, men etc- which only left me two but was just about enough). Pots, Brussels and a bit of broc. Coulda done with roast carrots. Gravy obs, cannot have a roast without.
It’s a bit budget I grant you, but I spent years making ‘roasts’ from pigs in blankets or stuffing as the ‘main event’ to save pennies as a single mum so still got the skillz

It should be if you make it properly.
Literally nobody has rice with a Sunday roast though.

It was simplistic because it wasn't based on my sole preferences.
If we throw in my preferences then the core includes carrot and swede mash and fine green beans.
The cheese sauce (decanted so guests can choose for themselves) would in my case not need to be decanted. Instead it would form part of a baked cauliflower cheese with lots of crispy grilled cheddar on top.

Aye, no Bisto shite either. You need a proper gravy from the roast itself

We did, every fourth Sunday when growing up.
A quick Google shows that other people do too.

Maybe this is our first real challenge to what constitutes a Sunday roast then.
Sure - you can have roast meat with vegetables and rice on a Sunday but rice absolutely does not belong on what is generally known as a Sunday roast.
We used to have mushy peas with our Christmas Dinner but it's not what anyone would normally say was part of a Christmas dinner.
Toby Carvery offer macaroni cheese along with more traditional vegetables. Lol.

And that's still not rice.
It’s as bizarre. IMO.

Yes I'd agree with that....I'd probably have a bit though

I did! Nicer than cauliflower cheese. The mind boggles as to how it has appeared though.
Right. It was nice. If unusual.

It belonged on our Sunday roasts. We had Chicken, stuffing, pigs in blankets, roast parsnips, broccoli, bread sauce and rice (with a knob of butter and some chives) every fourth Sunday. My mum was extremely traditional, so would only ever have done it because of her Canadian mother, or because it was an accepted accompaniment to Sunday dinner when she was growing up in the 50s and 60s.
You might not like it, but if people are going to have cauliflower cheese or mashed potato as accepted elements of a Sunday roast, then you can bloody well have rice too.

You can have whatever you like! It's still not what would normally be considered part of a Sunday roast. Or maybe it is in Canada. I can't vouch for that.

I have roast dinners in 3 kind of categories - weekday roasts, Sunday roasts and special occasion roasts.
I'm a big mashed potato lover with roast dinners but I know it's a family quirk. Done to stretch ingredients in our big family at Christmas. Same goes for yorkshire puddings.

The ingredients you haven't identified were nut roast, cauliflower cheese, and parsnips.Spuds look good! broccoli and sprouts too. I'm not really sure what the other stuff is though
I agree that roast spuds are what makes a roast, I like to boil them for 10 mins before I put them in the oven for 50 mins (I just use vegateable oil and turn them after 20 mins). But I do not want sprouts or carrots to have anything to with my roast, parsnips are essential though. Also love yorkshire pud and stuffing balls are essential. The meat substitute can vary - I had a nice nutroast from Morrisons for my crimbo dinner though. And ofcourse the gravy is essential, I have it just right - not too thick and not too thin. I also like plant based pigs in blankets but they are optional - you can get nice ones from Morrisons.
