If there's a roast to be cooked in our house, it's always me doing it! The wife hates doing it because she finds timing everything difficult.

I enjoy cooking all types of roast. Usually if we are having family/guests, I prepare two different meats to give people the choice or so they can have a combination of the two.

Whichever combinations I do, people always seem to enjoy my meat (!) but I wondered what everyone's favourite was?

For me, it's a difficult one, as I like all of them. But if pushed I'd probably say gammon. Part of this is because my wife doesn't like it and therefore we don't have it often. So when I do have it, it's a real treat!

So what's your fave?

(As an aside, I've never cooked or tried goose. Is it worth a go? Is goose freely available outside the Christmas season?)

Goose is very fat laden usually, and there is not much to cut at like there is on a Turkey. I quite like to have it for a change. However its difficult to age a Goose and my friend had one for Xmas and it must have been a pensioner as it was tough as leather.
Personally I like Beef for Sunday Roast or a Shoulder of Lamb.

Venisoon is also good. I now use the very low and slow method and the meat comes out super succulent.

I found it very difficult to choose. I love a variety and the bits and pieces that go with roasts. For example we always have stuffing and apple sauce with pork and I love the crackling. We always have mint sauce with lamb. I like turkey very much, with sage and onion stuffing and cranberry sauce, but in the end I voted for chicken. Oh and we always have Yorkshire puds, no matter what the roast is.

I have voted Turkey for probably the same reason as you. Only have it 4 or 5 times a year, so as you say with Gammon, it's a real treat.

Beef beef beef and more Beef! I love the stuff. Chicken is ok, standard at best, but beef delish.

Beef is more typical, because in a house with only one meat-eater it can be used for more with left-overs, but every now and then I can really crave a lovely gammon.

Beef. But if I had the choice, I'd go for Ostrich.

I love cooking, and really enjoy doing a Sunday roast. I find cooking the beef and everything really relaxing for some reason.

I cook mostly chicken for a roast dinner or pork. I wouldn't mind beef, but my bf is not keen on it and it would be more expensive for our budget.
I don't eat lamb out of principle and luckily my bf doesn't like it that much either.
In Italy, my dad would eat pretty much any animal, like for example rabbit, donkey, goat, horse (yes, you can find horse steaks in an italian supermarket!), not fussy at all.
I have yet to see a rabbit for sale in a supermarket or shop here; my bf, when he was there, was shocked to see a whole one on display in a supermarket.
I don't eat sheep, goat, rabbit, horse or donkey though.

Chicken.

Chicken is the only one I properly enjoy. I don't particularly like beef or pork though I will eat them if someone else has cooked it. I don't mind turkey, I enjoy turkey at Christmas time but I find that if I eat it more often I start to dislike it. I do not like lamb.

Never tried duck or goose.
