Seems a lot less people are doing Sunday lunch these days. To me it's the best part of Sunday having the family around and sitting around the table chatting, eating and drinking though it does seem that another great British tradition is on it's way out with a lot of modern homes not even having a dining table to sit at.

Too many shopping centres open now for people to visit and spend their money, but to me Sunday should still be a day of rest for everyone.

Anyway, the honeyed shoulder of lamb is in the oven slow roasting and the smell is just starting to waft around the house. MMmmmm lovely!

Yes, although it has migrated to late afternoon (i.e. dinner).

My (Polish) wife loves Sunday Roast, so today I'm cooking Roast Beef, roast potatos, yorkshire pudding (from scratch, a bit hit and miss to be honest!), carrots and parnips in a honey and mustard coating.

Apple pie and ice cream to follow.

Can't beat Sunday lunch.

Shoulder of lamb is my personal favourite. Although chicken with stuffing and bread sauce comes close.

Cook mynshoulder for 6-8 hours at 140ish double foil wrapped covered in herbs and garlic and a pint of stock.

How do you do your in honey chip?

I am doing roast chicken today

Cauliflower cheese, roasters, peas, broccoli, carrots, mash, Yorkshire puddings with a cheesecake for afters.

I don't do one every Sunday as it's not often we stay in on the weekend, but I have been craving one for days! Mmmmm

Edit - I might do stuffing ***** for a change today.

Yes, I cook it as I prefer it when I do, got it down quite well and it gives the wife a break from having to cook, have done them the last three weeks so doing a Beef Casserole today for a change and a less labor intensive option, dont want them to get bored with it every week. Tends to slip over the summer as on a warm day its not really what you fancy,

I like to neck a couple of nice ales and stcik Planet Rock or Absolute 80's on and its a pleasant way to spend a couple or three hours, trying to teach the kids how to do it as well as I think cooking is an important skill, I am no expert but I can do a pretty good lunch and you get a feel for it the more you do it. Good for kids to see dad cooking to avoid them being like my dad who can just about manage Cheese on Toast and will sit there starving waiting for my mum to provide some hot food

Favourite is nicely rare Beef, Yorkshires, Roasts, Mash, Peas, Sprouts, Cabbage, Carrots/ Swede and proper gravy then a big pudding with Custard, plus a nice red.

I think its am important meal, can let it slip a bit the rest of the week but need to keep the tradition going a bit.

MMMM

Sunday roast and not forgetting the Mint sauce

Oh yes indeed - we regularly have a full Sunday roast. We rotate thru Chicken, Beef, Lamb, Pork. All the trimmings plus red or white wine depending on the meat.

Love it

If it's true that the majority of households don't have a dining table then that's sad.
There's something quintessentially "English" about a Sunday Roast - Long may it live

Duurrr... I get it now

Nope, never seem to have time or the inclination to have a full roast. Sad really!

We tend to have one every Sunday through the winter months.
The wife tends to cook for the evening meal. I prefer lunch eating at lunchtime


Chicken today !

Oh yes! Roast Chicken today with all the trimmings which will result in great chicken pie tomorrow night from leftovers!

Can't stand going out for sunday lunch in a pub though

Literally just pour a few spoonfulls of runny honey over the top, today I am roasting it in a roasting bag which I like for slow roasting as it keeps all of the juices in. Roast over a few hours usually at 140c then take the fat off and pour some over part cooked Maris Piper spuds.

Served with creamed cabbage, buttered carrots, beans picked from my garden yesterday, broccoli and cauli.

Accompanied by a bottle of Australian Cabernet Sauvignon.

Yorkshire pud with chicken.

I'd be in bed for half six.

Think the other post read Yorkshire pudding with cheescake

Roast lamb tonight. I love a roast, with lashings of gravy. Would be my choice of last meal.

Used to love it. Propper pork or lamb roast with the trimmings. Many years back we used to pile down to the grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles every weekend, the kids would run amuck (me ) and everyone else would get p*ssed/argue/make up etc all in one day. Haven't had a proper family do for years

It died out as basically family are litterd all over the place or at work, otherwise engaged (shopping etc), gran's too ill to come. And well, a roast for three ain't really the same, is it?

The irony is we now actually have decent kitchen/cooker capeable of doing a full on roast - so far its only done the turkey dinner at christmas!

That's what I love about the British.No fast food rubbish before an execution,oh no.Sunday Roast

Sounds great. Like the idea of the roasting bag, have never used one but would imagine in bastes and marinades the meat lovely.

I have a shoulder in the fridge that I was going to do in Morrocan spices at some point this week, will pop into Lakeland and try it in a bag.

I've also got a shoulder of Pork that I wanted to make authentic pulled pork with, again this will do the job perfectly.
