(Always have a roast. Not always cooked by me)

Oh thank you so much! You've reminded me to get the joint out of the freezer. smile

How on earth did a leg of lamb cost £151?! shock

I heard on the radio the other day that the Sunday Roast is less popular and therefore less often cooked at home than ever. Of course there are many reasons for that - time, economy, personal taste but I wondered what your usual Sunday fare is? I cook a roast probably every other Sunday more chicken than anything else although we do splash out on a long slow roast of brisket (Dh prefers it to top side) and last weekend a joint leg of lamb from Waitrose- £151 couldn't do that too often. I alternate with a big paella one week, a casserole usually beef and red wine or beer and sometimes a Shepherds Pie or lasagne. Some new ideas would be very welcome.
