Sunday roast is it still eaten

waste of a day, although i will have have something with spuds vegs ,old habits etc

I cook a roast once every 2 years on Christmas Day, when it is our ‘turn’ to host.
I’ve never been a fan of roast dinners although I did do them occasionally when my sons lived at home.

We never have it because I neither cook nor eat meat.

We often have a roast meal with the family at the weekend, not always on a Sunday though and not often at lunchtime. as the grandchildren are usually out and about.
We went to my son's house last Sunday and had roast chicken with him, my daughter and her family. He doesn't often cook for us all but really pushed the boat out with three vegetables, roast potatoes and stuffing, followed by blueberry crumble.

My dear GD said, "I just fancy a roast, you don't often get one during summer".
So midweek we are going to our local carvery for just that, can't wait !!

I always cooked a roast when my daughter was little but now, not really.

Every week, but I use the slow cooker to cook the joint! We eat our own meat, so I'm going to enjoy it! I do enough for 2 days, and plate it so on Monday, a plate is nuked in the microwave! Yesterday and today, Pork, potatoes (cooked in with the pork, yum!) French & Runner beans (like the spuds from the garden) cauli and cabbage (Lidl bought) sweet corn for mum.

Then!!!! Mum said, What's for pud? We eat well, if I give her less, she complains, if I give her too much, she complains! I can't win!

Roast chicken every couple of weeks, plus all trimmings (apart from stuffing cos DH makes it from a packet and I can't stand it if it's not home-made). Auntie Bessies Yorkshires but own roasties, mash and veg (often home grown). Takes about 30 mins of work plus waiting time. Provides cold chicken for further roast dinners, salad or sarnies, and I often make a broth with the carcass, plus lentils, onions, veg and dumplings.

Tons for two of us and excellent value for money.

Oooooo - I fancy a roast right now 🤤

We have a roast dinner more frequently in the winter than the summer. I have two types, the lazy roast dinner and the proper one.

If I'm preparing the proper one I'll make extra and freeze as much as I can for a lazy one another day. We have the same trimmings every time so swede and carrot mash can go into a foil container in the freezer and then heated through in the same container in the oven. Same for red cabbage. Peas are frozen anyway. Meat is sliced and frozen with gravy, or a pork chop is roasted. Roasted potatoes can also be frozen and lightly re-roasted on the day.
I'll make a cheese sauce and freeze it and then prep a cauliflower and broccoli bake ready to heat through.

This is also the way I do my Christmas dinner. (No nutritional value here...!). I'll have a Christmas 'prep week' at the end of Nov. begining Dec. and prep everything that can be frozen, all in foil containers or trays. They can be defrosted overnight and placed straight in the oven to heat through. The only thing I cook on the big day is the meat.

I dish up straight onto the plates. It also means there is less washing up, and I'm not very eco either as the soiled containers go straight in the bin.

I feel that I have still cooked everything from 'scratch', but with the convenience of ready made!!

DH would have a roast every Sunday of the year but I draw a line during the hot weather. But, even then I'll usually roast a chicken to have with salads. It's served at teatime. Time depending on which football match is on the television/ DGS's shift pattern if family are coming over etc. It's no hassle to do and really saves me having to think of "What's for tea" once a week.

We often have a roast, but never at lunchtime, more like 7.30. I don’t know why people seem to think they’re a faff - mine never are, but then I keep them fairly simple - not 3 different sorts of potatoes and umpteen veg and sides.

Can't remember the last roast dinner I made possibly around 3 months ago but I do love a cauliflower cheese with it or just on its own.

We are having roast pork on Sunday. I find a roast really easy to cook and often do one when I get home if I have been out with the choir on a Sunday. I get it ready before I go out and just put it in the oven when I get home.

This week we will have it with roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese (Sainsbury's frozen), honey roasted carrots, gravy and apple sauce.

Roast pork here tonight - it’s not often we have a roast that’s not chicken. So after various M&S TV ads about the wonderfulness of their pork, I looked there first, but all the joints were tiny - I do want enough for 2 reasonable meals for two. Found what I wanted in Waitrose - a ‘higher welfare’ crackling joint.
With roast potatoes, sundry mixed veg, proper gravy and - of course! - apple sauce.
No pud, so lots of lovely roast potatoes!

I have never eaten or cooked a traditional roast. I grew up in a vegetarian family which was a rarity in the 60s.

Sundays here are a day for going out and doing things, not faffing over a meal.

That said, I have a friend in her 40s who takes turns with her husband to cook a roast every week. Their 20 year old son can just about do it on his own too, his girlfriend is very impressed.

The roast dinner was the big event in my childhood.

Whatever you were doing, it all stopped, and everyone had to be at home for dinner, much to my annoyance.

I dd a roast dinner yesterday instead as everyone was home. We had jacket potatoes today for lunch instead

Just had a roast chicken dinner as the family came over.Made it fairly simple, roast chicken, roast potatoes, stuffing balls, Yorkshires ( not home made, from the Co-op) and two veg and gravy.Stuffing not home made either😄It always goes down well with everyone.Haven’t made one for a while tho as the weather has been warm up to now.

I was going to do a roast with pok chops today, but "some person" disappeared off with me chops and left an empty plate behind.

Pork!!
My fingers are determined to scupper me.

😲a dog?

I hope not as I don't have one!!
My grandson.

We once had a cat that found a thawing steak on the worktop and dragged it off through his cat flap, we could follow the trail.

I stopped slaving my Sundays away long ago, but I do a kind of vegetarian replica at Christmas, Easter & birthdays. Just about everything except the meat can be made vegetarian (veg, roast spuds, stuffing, sauces, gravy, Yorkshires, etc) and I either make or buy a good vegetarian nut/vegetable loaf that can be sliced. Even those vegetarian "pigs in blankets" are passably good. Lovely! But on a Sunday? My only day off? Nah....
