That is creamy onion sauce. Fat finger or predictive text.

I like my beef not too well done, must have Yorkshires, crispy roast potatoes, parsnips and other veg and horseradish. I like lamb pink with slivers of garlic and Rosemary, I don't do Yorkshires with lamb I like a tray of different roast veg, including carrots onions and potatoes and French beans on the side and mint sauce. If we have chicken and grandchildren are around I have Yorkshire puddings as a concession to them, otherwise not. Sadly we don't have roast pork, I like it but husband doesn't but when I occasionally do have it, I like it well done with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce, like the picture on the GN site with roast potatoes and something like red cabbage and carrots. Oh and gravy with all of them of course.

I love roast beef and Yorkshire pud, so I think I'll be celebrating Yorkshire Pudding Day on Sunday smile. My favourite cut is topside and I always cook it the way my mother did - in a saucepan on the hob, with the tiniest amount of water, just enough to stop it sticking. It cooks slowly, in the steam from the fat that runs from it, and is always so tender and succulent. I have occasionally roasted it, but it is simply never as tender or tasty, so I always go back to the hob method!
I'll cook it with roast potatoes, roast parsnips, carrots cooked in a tinfoil parcel with a knob of butter and white wine, and some green veg. And, of course, Yorkshire puds and horseradish sauce. My mouth is watering at the thought of it grin.
We used to have a roast every Sunday but nowadays only about one week in three.

We have a roast most weeks and the favourite is always the one I have cooked that day. BUT Yorkshire puddings only with beef, wonderful ceaymy onion sauce with lamb and stuffing with chicken and pork ,which actually is the one we have least often.

Definitely roast beef and all the trimmings, my mouth's watering downtoearth and Alima reading your posts!

I rarely cook a big roast so it's a real treat for us, but I love going to the pub for Sunday lunch ?

My favourite is exactly the same as yours downtoearth and we have this about every three weeks on Sunday ( unless we go out for lunch, but even then we choose roast beef.) Yorkshire puddings are wonderful, or to use a bit of dialect, by gum theer grand!

Well done roast beef with Yorkshires, roast spuds, any veg, gravy and horseradish sauce.

Lamb, but now that it is just the two of us, not often

Chicken. But too much of it makes me sleepy. We have roast about once every three weeks.

Gransnet have alerted me, and possibly many of us here that it's Yorkshire Pudding Day on Sunday, I didn't know that. Do you have a roast most Sundays, if so, what's your favourite choice. If beef or lamb do you like it pink, what must accompany your roast dinner to make it perfect?
