Do You Have A Roast Dinner Each Sunday?

Olliebeak

This week we had Chicken Thighs (roasted), stuffing, roasties, mash, carrots, sliced green beans and gravy - and very nice it was too :drool:. As I've said before, it's not often I do a 'Sunday Roast'.

Lilibet dripping - I can remember listening to Forces Favourites as well on a Sunday morning with lots of messages coming in from/for Germany, Aden, Malaya, Ceylon and Singapore. And the TV programme that sticks in my mine from Sunday teatime was 'Armchair Shopping' which featured a 'mature lady' who talked about various things that we the viewer might be interested in trying. One that featured EVERY week was 'Davenport's Beer at Home, Birmingham'.

We just grab a sandwich like we do any other day! I don't think I've ever cooked a sunday roast in my life. I have recently learned to roast a chicken after years of being veggie but wouldn't want that on a sunday lunchtime, have usually only had breakfast midmorning!

An accquaintance phoned late one Sunday morning a while ago and I couldn't work out why he apologised for interuppting me cooking! I didn't realise Sunday lunch was such a widely performed ritual! Being brought up vegetarian and attending church there was never time to produce a big meal on a sunday. Now I'm not veggie nor do I go to church but still couldn't be bothered to spend all morning cooking.

Sorry

I do sunday lunch, but at dinner time. My son goes to his dads every other weekend so its a bit of a ritual when he comes home. If we are too busy/ away on sunday we have the roast on monday instead! My menu planning starts with sunday roast, leftovers and go from there. Fav though too pricy to have often is roast rib of beef, yorkshires, spuds roasted in dripping, roast parsnips, carrots, peas and brocolli, grainy mustard and gravy. I've started doing stuffing to stretch the meat and use cheap cuts like belly, shoulder of lamb or pork

We tend to have a family dinner (OH, me and DD) every Sunday, and it would usually be a roast, especially in winter. (I may also throw baking or Monday dinner into oven at same time - always cook for Monday on Sunday for easy arrival home from work!!).

Love a whole chicken and rubberizing it later in the week. We'd do a bacon joint reasonably often also. We love pork, lamb and beef too - but sometimes it can be hard to get a nice joint that isn't too big for only 3 (especially beef) - although I'll always use leftovers later in the week.

Proper roast potatoes, some kind of nice veg (medditeranean roasted mixed, roast root veg, caulifower cheese, stir fried mix, plain boiled/steamed carrots and peas.....) and a good gravy.

We were both reared on Sunday roasts without fail, and while we aren't "without fail", we do it probably at least 3 times a month. And have done proper roast dinners regularly (although maybe not quite as often when only 2 of us) since we got married.

My friend and I (and another friend who joins in now and then) cook roast alternate weeks. It's nice to make an effort when you are cooking for 8 or 10 and then you get the next week off to go out for the day and come home to a cooked dinner :T.
I think this probably works out cheaper too as I use more types of veggies if there are more people eating them!

We have recently started having a roast every Sunday, but its always me that has to cook it (and all other meals!) which ticks me off a bit (OH says he can't cook - won't more like!!) but the way I see it is I won't get a roast unless I cook it so I do it anyway. He doesn't even do the washing up ever but that's another story lol.

I'm new to doing roasts as I'm still a spring chicken really (24) I know how to cook it all just I'm not so good at the timing of it all yet. Sunday just gone we had boned rolled lamb joint with roasties, mixed veg, cauli/broc cheese, yorkie pud, stuffing and mint gravy. Was yummy but ashamed to say my OH is a bit of a piglet and so we ate pretty much the whole joint between us (cost me almost £7!!!) but I try to save money the rest of the week, then don't mind spending more for a sunday roast.

we have a roast every sunday if possible, when i was younger sundays was the only day the whole family were in the house together as mum and dad both worked, my sis worked and my brothers were always out so every sunday we would all gather in the kitchen and help mum make the roast dinner,

its a bit like that now, hubby works late then i go out to work when he gets in and my son is at that age where he wants to out out with mates straight from school so i do try to do a roast every sunday.

my fav is roast chicken with hedgehog potatos, swede and carrot mash, spring greens, peas , yorkies stuffing and homemade gravy using the juices from the chicken yummy !

No, I do not cook a roast every sunday, It is just another working day in our house ( all adults) I do like to put something in the slow cooker though as it is a later start with shop hours. I do sometimes cook a joint in the week when I am at home.

yap us too.. we almost always have a roast on a sunday, i always buy a bigger cut of meat so we can have the roaston sunday, monday stew, sandwich meat, and maybe a curry.
if its chicken it has to be free range.. (tastes like chicken)
i always try to have a roast once a week becouse growing up we never did.
growing up i used to invite myself around to a friends house for dinner on sunday lol..
