Sunday roast is it still eaten

M0nica

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?

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

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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?

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.

JaneJudge thank you

We always have a Sunday Roast apart from July & August when it is warm, as do our AC.

same here

It is an expensive meal though, so I can get why people may not cook it. That said, a 1.5kg chicken is 60 minutes in the air fryer and the juices easily make a nice gravy (or soup) and the bones make a stock, so another meal

Since my sisters illness and now not working, i do a roast every week as this is one meal she really enjoys

In early adulthood I rarely cooked a roast, despite it having been a staple growing up. Now I do much more - although not weekly. My just adult children like a roast and I think they will be the same.

Sunday Roast? you cook it I’ll eat it😋
Ps. Make extra gravy

My son in law makes a delicious roast with all the trimmings for us from time to time - much better than I could do. In the meantime I'm not one for cooking really unless I'm properly in the mood.

I found myself going down to once a month two or three years ago.
And not necessarily having it on Sundays either.

Too much work. Too expensive some of it.
And for some reason, my DH and I eat less meat than we used to.

I'm a vegetarian, but sometimes eat out on Sundays with meat eating friends or family.
Many places do a set meal on Sunday based on the roast - meat model, use at a set price. These can be good . I do love a roast potato.
I have no problem eating a roasted cauliflower as my main. My " beef" ( sorry - couldn't resist) is that I pay the same as the roast lamb eaters.

It's not my favourite meal, and it's not worth the effort for 2 us. My husband likes a roast dinner sometimes when we go out. I prefer a good curry.
