Sunday roast is it still eaten

We usually have a roast on a Sunday but its normally chops or chicken breasts wrapped in bacon. I did buy a chicken last week we made soup and a stir fry with what was left. I would love to go out for Sunday lunch but they are all very expensive near us. For the 2 of us a pint for MOH and a glass of wine for me, 2 meals around £50. That's a 3rd of my housekeeping money so don't see that happening very often.

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.

My cat once stole a chicken breast I was about to use for a roast dinner.
He'd only nibbled a bit, so I put it on my friend's husband's plate

I once bought fish from the local fish van for my husband's dinner. Put it on the worktop and nipped to the loo - when I returned to the kitchen, the cat was nibbling the end of it. I shooed the cat away, trimmed the fish, egged and breadcrumbed it and never let on to OH!

I once painstakingly made a beautifully decorated salmon mousse for a dinner party starter.

Put it on the table, called everyone to come, but it was a few minutes before they’d all finished their G&Ts, gone for a wee, etc.
Meanwhile, our dog had sniffed out this tantalising aroma, had managed to reach it, and had taken a fair sized slurp out of the side!

Thank goodness, both guest couples were supremely unfussy, pet-owning types who just found it hilarious. I just sliced that bit off - with a fair margin - and we had it anyway.

Sunday roast every week. During summer months it’s chicken, so the leftovers can be used in a salad. Autumn and winter we have pork/lamb or beef.

I’m not a particularly good cook, but I make an average roast that’s good enough.

My DD and DGD are both vegetarians, whilst my SIL is a meat eating Yorkshireman. So once a month I get an invitation to Sunday lunch and he cooks a full Roast dinner, complete with Yummy Yorkshire puddings for the 2 of us and a vegetarian version for his wife and daughter. I always come home with an extra plateful for me to eat on Monday. Yum Yum Yum

Our dinner was lovely btw, chicken casserole with garlic and herbs with mashed/creamed potatoes and three vegetables.

I take it you didn't like him very much 😂

i have been doing roast dinners in the air fryer, they are easy

Must investigate, my oven needs a professional clean after last week's roast pork with crackling.

As we were eating our Sunday roast dinner, I said to my husband do you think this a meal that is dying out. Our adult children rarely cook it, or is it something only the grandparents cook these days. I know we don’t often have a joint as they’re so expensive, but substitute lamb steak or chops for the meat part of the meal.

Well, DS said he was cooking a roast dinner when he phoned but I'm not!

I did cook one last weekend, but rarely nowadays.

It makes a huge difference doesn't it? I think what I like most is that most of the mess is restricted to one pot

Roast dinners for 2 people are pretty easy when you have an air fryer. It's not the roast dinner I would do if family/friends were arriving but very little effort for a roast dinner for two.

Cook meat, let rest. Then do roasters in the air fryer in the fat from the meat, steam veg, make gravy, add Yorkshires/stuffing balls to air fryer while roasters are finishing.

Ate Sunday roast beef today with Yorkshire pud, pigs in blankets, carrots, cauliflower, roast spuds, a block of sage stuffing and fresh horseradish sauce. Yum.

Very true.

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....

My fingers are determined to scupper me.

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.

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