The good old sunday roast.

Its the only way to serve this par excellent dish and preferably not aged for more than a few days.
All this luvvie aging shite for 28 days reduces my culinary stomach into a gastronomic fits of panic. Pretentious twaddle made up by restaurants to serve old left over stock and as seasoned diners .. we shall have le-non of it.
Under aged beef is tough as old boots and tastes of nothing. No wonder you have to burn it to a cinder. As for baulking at eating animals, what do you do about trout, sardines, snails?
Become a vegan, mate, fricassed cardboard is delicious.
 
Twice recently I have been out for Sunday lunch . Both times the food was stacked on itself in the middle of the plate. Why can't they use the whole of the plate, just like the old days.
A full plate spread out the way it has always been.

We never baulk at the eating of an animal, merely preferring to "cook them first" as has been the practice for millennia after millennia since the discovery of fire. No wonder Wee Jimmie Krankie doesn't want you visiting you disullutional troglodyte oddity : /



Its amazing they pay people to come up with such crap!

Great memories of eating roast dinner at my grans when I was a kid. Happy times. Now we tend to have a roast dinner most Sundays. Have done since our kids were little. Now when they come home from uni they still look forward to it. One of the only times that we all sit at the table to eat together.

I'll back you up here. We could be forgiven for thinking we had stumbled onto a vampire enthusiast forum. I for one am not afraid to say bien cuit, even on the Haussmanised boulevards of gay Paris.
 
Roast beef, Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, two veg (carrots & cauli were two favorites), with some nice brown gravy.

Conversely, lamb and mint sauce, with roasties.

Can’t beat it, still crave it, hardly ever see it!
 
Couldn’t you just cook it ?
Of course, but then it wouldn’t be my Mum’s, would it?!

Just coz I’m 57 doesn’t mean I can’t miss my dear old Mum’s Sunday dinners!

Struggle to get decent lamb around here, too. Not much call for it, unfortunately,

Had a Sunday roast in a pub today and it was stacked in exactly the manner you mention. But I wanted veggies halfway through so had to deconstruct the artifice to get to them underneath. I like to eat in my own order, not have it imposed, and also get a good look at the meat to chop any bits I don't fancy off.

Some people may think it is a trivial observation. One of the last great British traditions is being sacrificed for something that resembles a stacked cheeseburger.
I don't think we are being pedantic, a Sunday lunch needs to look and taste like a Sunday lunch.
 
Can take it or leave it really, cook them at home quote often but if we go out my wife and daughter will have one I always choose something else.
To be honest whenever I go out and pay for a meal I. Like to eat something they can cook better than me or I wouldn’t cook at home.

Now that really is cheffy bollocks. I wonder what the advantage is?
 
Always been a traditional British family meal on a Sunday but It's never been as unpopular as it is nowadays. I think it's because of all the choices we have of world foods and the convenience and laziness of people deciding to get a takeaway instead of cooking themselves. I was once so used to having a Sunday roast almost every week but rarely bother nowadays due to my kids being grown up and me living alone, i can't be bothered cooking a roast for one.

Is a Sunday roast still tradition to you, has it ever been. Do you cook your own or eat out, and what's your favourite meat, or veg option? I think I'll go out to eat later, maybe The Fairfield Arms on Ashton Old Road as it's good quality and decent value.

it is in winter, every weekend (and sometimes midweek too)
less so in summer, just because of the heat in the kitchen is really uncomfortable
