Perfect Sunday Roast.

[Kurt.]

Following on from some of the other threads on here. I personally must have mushy peas with my sunday roast, when my mum moved to the midlands the locals there could not believe that she made them mushies with a roast on sunday. My perfect dinner is as follows.

Roast Beef
Yorkies
Mushy Peas
cabbage
Broccoli
Roast spuds
Boiled spuds
Parsnip
Gravy


Sometimes this alters as I also love cauliflower so sometimes have that instead.

Mmm I'd have a big ole chicken. And mushy peas? Good god man what are you thinking!

Gotta have some carrots there somewhere. but the rest of it I agree with. Yorkies man, fantastic!

Meat - Salt and pepper beef or honey and mustard glazed gammon.

Tatties - Garlic and coriander roasties and creamy mash

Veg - Carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, peas and sweetcorn.

Yorkies - Preferably homemade

Gravy - Onion gravy with the stock of the meat mixed in.

A fantastic joint of Greenmount (County Armagh) Pork with crackling, roasted in onions and Armagh Cider.
Champ or Colcannon
Roasties
Honey and Corriander roasted carrotts
Peas and Broad Beans mixed with mint and Fetta
The gravy is just really heavy reduced stock which cooked the meat

Beef? GAMMON? What is WRONG with you monsters?

Meat: Duck, goose, pheasant, partridge or venison. Actually, make that AND venison. All five.

Potatoes: As per bluejock but the mash should have wholegrain mustard mixed in - whoever mentioned boiled potatoes should go into a dark room and feel ashamed.

Veg: Mushy peas aren't even food. And cauliflower is what the devil uses to torture blind kittens. Carrots, Broccoli, Peas, Sweetcorn: yes. If parsnips are involved they must be glazed with honey. Roasted onions cooked alongside the spuds. No swede and no turnips.

Yorkies yes, but not made by me. My last effort nearly hospitalized my entire family.

Gravy: must include red wine, mushrooms and onions, and be thick enough that a spoon stood vertically in the gravy boat takes several seconds to fall down. None of that dishwater-thin crap, this isn't the 16th century.

Pretty much agree with what Jock said.

Partridge,Pheasant,Venison? Is Henry VIII your regular sunday dinner guest?

I'm very particular about my Yorkshire puddings though. My grandma's are the best and authentic. If any of you buy frozen Yorkies then i will hunt you down.

Mustard, sweetcorn and mushrooms have absolutely no place near a sunday roast dinner table... you my freind have expensive aids of the tastebuds.......take 3 tins of irn bru daily for a month.

 

[Tree13]

Are you guys saying you've tried all those meats and don't like any of them?

And if irn-bru is the cure, I'd rather die of the disease )

 

[JamesBT]

Bit arty farty for my liking mate. I'm happy with a nice slab of quality beef.

I'm working on it.

All those meats are available in tesco. And your local chinese probably does duck.








Or is it the gravy boat that gave it all away?

 

[Kurt.]

The last time I called round to your house yr mar said " come in DEER and give me a GOOSING.....my husband is away but VENNISON comes back home you may have to DUCK out the back door"

 

[Azzurri]

Big marrowfat processed peas, though. No garden peas bollocks.

 

[orchard]

I'm working on it.

Dude(ss), gonna give us the Yorkie story?
Why do you waste 'good' meat with powdered gravy?
Good quality beef is ace mate, find a butcher and give it another bash.
