The Best Roast

cornerblock

Aah I do love a Sunday. Apart from the traffic free(ish) ride and the general peace and quiet, the thing I love most is coming home from a long ride to one of the wife's roast dinners. Today was Roast Beef, Yorkshires and the rest, delicious. Although if I was on Death Row and had to choose my last meal it would be Roast Pork , crackling and the rest. So what I wonder is the most popular Sunday Roast, or if on Death Row what would be your final meal? I am not a student doing a survey so your answer wlll not affect my future in any way. ( I think!).

Tough choice between beef and lamb, I have to admit. It was the 'Death Row' factor that sealed it, but there's not much between them.

I'll take that as 2 for Duck then. Would add it to the options, but don't know how!

Tried edit but the poll options don't show. Just the original message.

I'm not too choosy between beef and pork to be honest. Although I do insist on stuffing and yorkshire puddings with ANY roast dinner, no matter what the meat.

Beef, pork, beef, pork hmmm cant decide.
Whichever it is it has to be with yorkshire puds, roast spuds, and mint sauce oh and lots of black pepper.

I want a roast now and its only 11am

Depends who's cooking.

If it is a good chef, give me beef or venison.

If it is me, it has to be chicken, because it is the only roast I can do right. I buy the best bird I can afford (corn fed free range), stick a lemon up it, cover it in butter, pepper, salt and herbes de provence and roast it. It always works.

Other meats in my hands tend to dry up like leather-wrapped polystyrene

Damn, I was about to say that.

It's all the poncey, technical cookery language that tends to throw me.

^^^ That's a recipe I can follow! ^^^

When it comes to roasts, you can't beat the beef.

Clearly, my cookery tips are the antidote to this:

I like pork for the excuse of apple sauce and for the crackling, chicken as it gives the nicest gravy and beef for the meat itself. Not fussed on lamb (probably because as a Welshman I prefer my sheep alive - thought I'd get there first!).

Best roast is a huge, but cheap brisket of beef, cooked at a low heat for a long time.

I can understand not going through a 10 page thread but you started the second. Too keen to post it.

Drysuitdiver

where is the option for " all of the above " except the nut roast of course. they are foul.


I love a roast beef , but yesterday i did a stonkingly good chicken that near fell apart when carving it. lovely crispy skin too.

and yes yorkshire puds go with any meal

All of the above, even the nut roast :oops: I am big boned and have a healthy appetite. My mum said that 50+ years ago and it is still true. But roast gammon is especially nice. BTW Yorkshire Puddings are greasy lumps of nastiness which give you indigestion and heartburn. FACT

I just can't imagine eating gammon with gravy.

Suppose I should try it really but no Yorkshire puddings? Unthinkable!

fleshtuxedo

Would Yorkshire puddings feature in a spit roast?

Silly me! forgot to use my emoticons: :oops:
