Lamb got my vote but beef was just a flip of a coin behind!

Lot of love for lamb here!

I don't eat lamb out of principle and luckily my bf doesn't like it that much either.
What principle is that? (Just interested!)

Beef for me although I'll happily have any of the others except gammon I prefer that just boiled with mash and parsley sauce not as a roast.

Moral: I remember watching a documentary and seeing one of them being slaughtered, so having that memory still in my mind, I can't eat lamb (and I did taste it once, being forced by my bf's mum and didn't like the taste anyway ).

We don't get it very often because it's so expensive but I love a roast leg of lamb, but it's usually a chicken

I've never thought of gammon as a Sunday roast. How would you serve it and what with?

Personally, I roast my gammon joints. I know some prefer to boil it instead, but I never have enough hob space to do that!

You just serve it with roasties, veg and gravy, same as any other roast. Is it that strange a concept?!?

Wow. Really surprised lamb is in the lead.
Whilst I don't mind the taste of it, the smell of it cooking makes me wanna vom.
Pork every time for me. My butcher sells lovely rare breed pork which is amazing. Best crackling ever.

That's how I was when I was young so I didn't buy it for a few years when I left home then one day I decided to cook some and loved everything about it including the smell.

No, it's just not something I've ever considered but I'm not a big fan of gammon anyway. What kind of gravy do you have?

Well after the absolutely amazing roast beef I cooked yesterday (even if I do say so myself!) I'm thinking I've changed my mind!

God it was absolutely perfect - still pink and tender in the middle. I'd gone off cooking beef a bit as last few times I've done it we've had my wife's parents round who will only eat beef if it's really well done - yeuch. But yesterday's was medium-rare, and absolutely delicious!

I think I do pork or chicken gravy if I do a roast gammon.

When I do a gammon joint I tend to make a mustard gravy.

Lidl sell leg of lamb quite reasonable.

Must admit I had a look at leg of lamb in Aldi yesterday although I usually buy my meat at out local farm shop butcher. It was so cheap, relatively speaking, I may give it a go for a mid-week meal.
