Do you usually go for the 'Traditional' - Roast whatever.... or do something a little different?? For me, Sunday Lunch HAS to be a Roast.......

I've lived in my flat for 6 months and have yet to cook a roast My BF isn't a great fan for some reason so if I want a traditional Sunday lunch then I'll head ot my Mum's - which is exactly what I think I'll do on Sunday

My Mum does the traditional roast almost every week bless her, but we love it!!!

I' do a traditional roast.
It's the one time everyone will make to effort to be present and sit at the table together.

I hate roasts but i live at home so i usually have to eat what my mum makes. When i decide that i cant be bothered to eat it i make Roasted stuffed peppers with butternut squash, sweet potatoes and sausages with a honey and cinnamon sauce.

I only ever eat a roast dinner on Christmas Day. I find them too stodgy and bland. We usually go out for a Mexican,Thai or Caribbean for Sunday lunch. Or get the barby out.

I've never understaood the appeal of having 'meat and two veg every' Sunday.

I love roasts but living on my own at the moment I rarely bother. When I do though I will cook a chicken or a joint of pork and then use the left overs for work lunches for a few days.

Whoever has been making your roast dinners obviously doesn't do it right then. When i make them they are far from bland and definitely not a bit stodgy

nicely cooked, juicy meet, fresh veg cooked however I choose, nice crispy roast tatties and stuffing with some lovely home made gravy.... delish!

Sounds stodgy to me. Joints of meat with boiled veg is my idea of food hell.

we try to have one every sunday.

Lamb or beef is the preffered choice of meat in my house.

If hubby is working I will do one on the monday instead as I prefer all the family to be at the table on a sunday for a roast dinner but won't do one if it's just me and the children

i've never cooked a roast dinner, much to my OH's horror, cos he loves them.

I just don't like them, i hate Christmas dinner for that very reason.

If after you have boiled veg it is 'stodgy' then to me that would be very overdone. I prefer my veg al dente.

I love a roast dinner, but I hardly ever have them, because I live on my own. I sometimes do a roast chicken, because it'll last me for several meals, but I do one maybe only once every couple of months. And it would never be for Sunday lunch, always evening meal instead. And not always on a Sunday. In fact, I'm in the mood for one tonight actually.

So am I after this thread. But won't get home till 6 so if I do make one it will be at least 7:30 before I can eat. Might get the makings for one over the weekend though.

Exactly, and anyway, I don't boil my veg, I always steam it until it's like you say al dente.

Apart from potatoes that is.

We used to get up every Sunday when the kids were little and do the whole shooting match starter homemade everything including pudding now if I offer that to my sons 18 and 15 it's like what is this dont we have normal food!!!!!! so now it's quick and easy Sunday and maybe a roast through the week. No I don't make everything myself anymore time just runs away these days.

I'm not a huge roast dinner fan, I like them a couple of times a year at most and always as an evening meal - I work on Sunday until midafternoon anyway so it would be impossible earlier!
Today I was really bad and lazy and had a veggie burger from mcDonalds!
