Why the Brits love their Sunday Roast (and how it’s made)

[@Roberta-gl2by]

I was born in the early fifties. Our family was not well-off, so we always looked forward to our roast dinner on Sunday (which my mother would slave over, while my Dad dug veg in the garden - ohhh, fresh veg, straight from the soil, nothing like it). The meat was different each week (lamb quite often, chicken rarely) and my Mum would concoct weekday meals out of the left-overs (supplementing them as necessary). Obviously, shepherd's pie. We were happy during the week, but Sunday was a physical expression of contentment. The four of us would sit round the table and listen to Round The Horne, or Family Favourites. It drew our family closer together. Then an afternoon walk. Baked potatoes under an open grate later, in winter, or salad from the garden in summer. Hmm. Feeling a little notalgic.

[@terencebates6808]

I agree with fresh veg from the soil, if only we could all do that. Many years back I had a workshop on a potato farm and scooped up the potatoes as they were harvested I was given some literally just plucked from the soil. To this day I would say they were the best potatoes I have ever tasted.

[@rickylow1655]

Lovely. Nothing like a good dinner to bring the family together. ❤

[@MrWhitmen1981]

Back then lead was used in fuels as a catalyst and the emissions would settle on the soil the plants grow from. Good good would taste sweet.

I’m Canadian and my family would have Sunday rose quite often. When I discover Yorkshire pudding, it was a game changer.

I couldn’t do that because we saved the drippings to make the gravy, so we just use vegetable oil in the bottom of the pan instead. This video is making me wish I was having Sunday roast tomorrow.

I'm also Canadian and grew up with a Sunday roast every week! I still make a roast almost nearly every Sunday for myself and friends (except in summer, too hot and humid for a roast) -- and when I do, I still make it the way my grandmother did: beef, Yorkshire pudding, roasted potatoes, roasted parsnips, carrots, peas, Brussels sprouts, mashed turnip and lots of gravy.

The key to a good roast is the gravy.

I'm Polish who have been living in UK for over 20 years; Sunday Roast is what saves British cuisine - but you do have to pick a right place for a nice experience: some pubs (like whetherspoon) use frozen food which ruins the very idea

[@xr6lad]

Come on. There’s many things they do well. Puddings. Other meat dishes. Caramelised Brussels sprouts. Its like saying the only thing saving Polish cuisine is the Pierogi.

[@terencebates6808]

wouldn't necessarily say its what saves British cuisine, but it is along with Fish and chips at the core of our food culture. I would agree with you about picking the right place and frozen food, there are too many poor eating places serving up dross in all cuisine not just 'British'.

Marjoram is great 👍.

I’m not even vegetarian or vegan, but that nut roast looked banging to be fair x

[@terencebates6808]

We have some of the best Vegan roasts on offer and many meat eaters select this. I am the owner of this place, I took the view as a Vegetarian of some 30+ years that if we were to do Vegetarian/Vegan options for a Sunday roast they had to be good, I've lost count of the number of times where I have been for a roast and been disappointed in the vegan/Vegetarian offerings.

I never knew that's where the term Beefeater came from.

[@dropperknot]

@readymade83 The Beefeaters are the guards at the Tower of London, guarding the Crown Jewels.

[@readymade83]

@@dropperknot I knew that, it's also a brand of gin, I just never knew why they were called Beefeaters.

[@vaughnwilliams1208]

I know it's less traditional but I love roast lamb with mint sauce for Sunday lunch. I agree with other posters about the size of the plates are too small in that video. Great to see Yorkshire puddings on DW

[@terencebates6808]

I am the owner of this place the portions are huge, we are renowned for a big serving

[@MH-fb5kr]

looks tasty to me… what’s for dessert?

[@Goochen]

Sticky Toffee Pudding, if I could have my choice.

[@geemo4284]

Bread and butter pudding with lashings of custard

[@terencebates6808]

@@Goochen We do this here

[@terencebates6808]

@@geemo4284 we often do our version of this

[@rafiqadarr6217]

Apple pie, or Blackberry pie, (or Apple and Blackberry) with custard, or just as delicious - Apple Crumble, or Plum Crumble.

I think the closest thing Americans eat routinely to Yorkshire Pudding is a popover.

[@paladinsmith7050]

Britain's number 1 dish.

[@ericaandrus579]

Hey! That rub for the roast is like my family’s seasonings for their beef roast. And we’re mostly German! We also roast potatoes, but cube them. I like this video.

[@strangecobra9454]

I grew up having a prime rib roast with Yorkshire pudding at Christmas with my family, and my mum loves a Sunday roast chicken. I finally went to the UK this spring and got a Sunday roast at a gorgeous pub in Hampstead Village - absolutely delicious and weirdly I think my favourite parts were the cabbage and the cauliflower cheese. I do love Yorkies but they're never as good at a restaurant as they are at home.

[@jannythomas3104]

Sunday roasts in NZ mostly lamb with mint sauce roast potatoes, pumpkin and kumera, peas, carrots and a jug of gravy, desert was fruit icecream or custard. My mum made the best Sunday roast. My kids do the same as I did for them and I get to sit back and enjoy it. Yum.

[@sethsoderman5152]

It's probably everyone's favorite is the gravy

[@MyScubasteve]

The bakers in olden days did not bake bread on a sunday but the ovens would still be warm or hot from baking the night before. So familys used to put a tray of meat and veg into the ovens and go to church.

[@rahsunallah2825]

I just made a Friday roast😂😂😂

[@relentless305]

We need a monday roast

[@jmason61]

Just like Italian families get together on Sundays for the comfort food of pasta, gravy & meat balls

[@ItsToXxy]

Yikes, never knew they used all that grease to make Yorkshire puddings

[@hwoarang2001]

I can do this once a month.

[@yodieindrawan5193]

Sunday roast has to be on sunday, after all of the sandwiches we had during the weekdays

[@cmccullough12C]

Growing up in Canada,we had roast beef dinner every Sunday,leftover beef if any,was made into a soup or stew for Monday and fish on Fridays.
