What is a 'Traditional Sunday Roast'?



Is it - Roast Beef, two different kinds of vegetables and potatoes with a Yorkshire pudding. Should the Beef be eaten with hot white horseradish sauce, with gravy poured over the meat?



Because thats how I have it.

You only put gravy in the yorkshires if you have crisped them up too much by leaving them in the oven. Otherwise these taste delicious un gravied.

You could have roast pork with crackling and apple sauce. Roast potatoes carrots and brussel sprouts + peas and gravy. followed by blackberry crumble and custard.

Don't forget to shake the potatoes in the pan after par boiling then to ruff them up , this will ensure they are nice and crispy , and don't forget to cook them in really really hot goose or duck fat, you'll never beat them for the best roast spuds EVER , ......................Drolling already

Hi Skogsy,



I am arriving tomorrow but isn't it too hot to put the oven on and cook a roast think of all the money I will have to spend on A/C. Could do a nice cold meal though, poached salmon with hollandaise sauce with mixed green salad, new buttery potatoes. followed by lemon mousse.

kapparis kid msg 13,



You should meet up with Tidio on the VO BB. She is a genuine African queen from Nigeria and she'll get your young hormones racing. And this Saturday she's cooking curried goat.



Funnily enough, you remind me of her in a strange way...

Looking at some of the replies - there is no 'Traditional Sunday Roast' then.

hi no i doyen,sorry can`t agree with you on this occasion.as when a lad i knew

what was for lunch every,sunday roast beef and yorkshire puddings with the usual vegetables.although my father was a very good cook it was just the repetition of the meal every sunday,i also find it quite bland in flavour and taste

though we had anice r/b the other week at the( harvesters restaurant).

Hi Cruggs, that was my point. A traditional Sunday Lunch was Roast Beef, Roast Potatoes, Vegetables and Yorkshire Pudding. Now some people are saying its, mashed potatoes, pork with crackling,cheesy leeks, parmesan parsnips,mashed carrot and swede and even curried goat!

I'm confused. If a restaurant is advertising 'Traditional Sunday Lunch' what are you mgoing to end up with?

The beef should be red and bloody. Gravy should not be poured on the meat as it over cooks it.

hi no i doyen,o.k i agree with you again and get the point.what constitutes a

traditional sunday lunch.when we went to the harvester,you had a choice of

roast beef,lamb or pork, with a variety of vegetables ,and yorkshire pudding.

that i would call a traditional sunday lunch, in a restaurant.

hi all... people from different parts of the U.K.have there own ideas what a traditional SundayLunch is.Being raised in the NorthEAst, it was always the roast beef version,but my old granny used to do her yorkshires in bread tin and they were out of this world. You had them on there own first with the gravy juices from the beef and veg. water,then you had the rest afterwards .Believe me there was no room left for puddies after that lot.....

Apple crumble and custard....Mmmmmm, now you are talking Susanne.



My idea of the traditional is..........Roast Beef, Roast Pots, Yorkie puds ,Roast Onion, Roast parsnips, Swede, carrots, peas and a good boat of gravy........ahhhhh Bisto! then a good nap afterwards!!



Boy I'm hungry now!

You are right, the idea of a "traditional anything" is personal preference. Will probably depend on area you are from and the household income.



As for restaurant traditional - we could not afford to eat out and I am sure most will have not experienced same when growing up.



As for roast beef, I can rarely remember having it as kids. Only unique thing amongst all of this is Yorkshire Pudding and my mother made the best.
