Sunday roast is it still eaten

that's nice essjay you sound like a lovely sister

JaneJudge thank you

I always do a Sunday roast beef with all the trimmings,5 different veg and roast and boiled potatoes,and Yorkshire puddings from fresh,for AD's and GC, sometimes this can be for 16 with AS and his wife and the rest of GC, and again rise if elderly mother joins us.
Needless to say,it has to be served/seated in a rotational fashion and the dishwasher is "MY" saving grace!
Always dessert of some description as Hubby and young GS would sulk for the rest of the day!
Mostly though,and thankfully, it's just 9 including myself and hubby,2x AC+1, 4xGC.
Sunday wouldn't be Sunday without it for me,I wouldn't know what to do with the day.

Please be kind, I always do a midweek roast too, just my personal preference,and the satisfaction knowing GC are having fresh meat and veg at least twice a week.

Roast on a Sunday evening here but not in a heatwave. Rest of the year often do a small. Mid week one as well.
Beef pork chicken gammon and lots of lamb in rotation ,cold on Monday but no lamb at the moment has any one else noticed how expensive lamb is at the moment?

How lovely Nanytanny If only my GDs and their parents lived near. I would enjoy doing that every Sunday. You are a very lucky and generous lady

I must admit, after 40 years of roast dinners every week, DH and I frequently go to the carvery at the local garden centre rather than cook at home. We occasionally do the full works for special occasions, being Yorkshire bred I have Yorkshire puddings with everything!

I still cook a Sunday roast even though it’s just for me. I love roast potatoes and any leftover meat is used the next day or two in a risotto or a pasta bake or even cold with pickles.

Had a roast dinner yesterday at my daughter and son in laws, we do one either at their house or my house once or twice a month and have done for years

We had a roast chicken dinner yesterday. Cabbage, roast carrots, potatoes from the garden and sage and onion stuffing.
We are having the rest of the cold chicken for lunch today.

The only Sunday roast we eat is when we go out to a pub/restaurant for lunch.

All vegans or vegetarian in my family now - so never a Sunday lunch or substitute. Only at Christmas when a 'nut roast' will grace the table with all trimmings.

A couple of times a year, and never at 'lunchtime'

Thank you JamesandJon33 for your kind comments.
I am very lucky in having all my family close by in many respects.
I couldn't begin to imagine the emptiness without them,and the needing others must feel with the distance of seperation, it makes me very sad and heavy hearted.

I always have a Sunday roast …. Even if it’s just me! My daughter mostly does one if I go to hers and my friend and I take turns when we’re not busy. There’s so much you can do with a chicken afterwards …. Risotto, curry, salad, soup …. Just so versatile. It wouldn’t be Sunday without a Roast lunch!

40 years of Sunday roasts! apart from August. Looking forward to husband retiring soon when cooking will definitely be shared!

Well we had a roast yesterday
That said, I don't religiously do one every week like I did at one time

We had roast pork today, with roast potatoes and tenderstem broccoli,. We do not have a roast every Sunday, but I always make Sunday lunch special. In winter lots of game and venison. In summer salmon, prawns and asparagus.

DD loves a roast. She lives alone, so will roast a chicken piece, brings back tins of confit duck back from France and needs np encouragment to go out to a carvery.

You must be one of the well off pensioners then?

I still do a Sunday roast,for myself and my son,it's doesn't take long to cook,I don't buy joints of meat as they are too expensive,yesterday we had pork loin chops, which I cooked in the airfryer,I cooked roast potatoes in the oven along with the bread & butter pudding and I did all ready prepared swede and carrot mash in the microwave,it was lovely,

Some people say it’s a lot of work, but if you enjoy them, it’s so easy-space willing-to freeze portions of meat in gravy for another week, thereby giving a really easy meal next time. We also make a more roast potatoes than required, coat in oil and seasoning after parboiling, the freeze those too. It all tastes exactly the same when served on the ‘easy’week, and adding veg is easy.

We do a Sunday roast a couple of times a month through autumn and winter for our AC and DGC who live fairly near (some near enough to walk home after a glass of wine or two). Shoulder of lamb is our favourite but yes it really is expensive these days, my cheat is frozen Yorkshires, my DGS would be lost without one or two on his plate. Especially miss the family that live abroad at these times so pull out all the stops for Christmas dinner as they are usually with us then.
We eat a lot of veg with every meal so don't need a roast for that, yesterday we cooked and ate in the garden, 9 of us. We had chicken fajitas including onions, celery, fennel, peppers carrots all sliced finely and cooked on the plancha with the chicken. Everything prepped the night before to make it easy on the day so I could have a cuddle with my 4 month old DGD

Oh Peaches- bread and butter pudding: now you're talking...

On my own so don't bitger but do know, adult children still have Sunday roast in their houses.

I only cooked a roast three or four times a year, while DH was still alive and able to enjoy his food.

I keep thinking I ought to get the duck that has been in the freezer since before last Christmas out and cook it, but keep deferring it.

I don't see my younger relatives very often, but if the come for Easter I do roast a leg of lamb, and at Christmas obviously I would serve a roast.

I might do so at any other time of the year for visitors whom I know would appreciate it.

Meat is expensive, and the joints one roasts especially so, so I assume most people rarely eat a roast, irrespective of what age group they belong in.

We have a roast most weeks and then use the left overs for a couple of days. We had a gammon joint yesterday so cold gammon and jacket potato with salad tonight. It’s really not that expensive if you get 2 or 3 meals out of it and the odd sandwich or two. The cat also enjoys his share if it’s chicken!

Always cook a Sunday dinner, and also on a Wednesday, I like my family to have a dinner with vegetables twice a week. I usually put meat in sli roast late Saturday night. I have a steamer with 3 baskets so all my veg goes in 1 container. Whole thing including making the gravy takes just under 1 hour. Lovely too.
