Roast Dinner - The Best Bit?

[Deleted member 18477]

Sunday Lunch, traditionally roast dinner time...

So what is everyone's favourite bit in the roast dinner? If someone could create a poll that would be ideal...

- The Meat
- The Roast Potatoes
- The Yorkshire Puddings
- The Stuffing
- The Veg
- The Gravy
- Other (if other please state what else you have!)

Gotta be the meat for me!

 

[Goring Gull]

Yorkshire puds for me

 

[Hillian1]

All of it apart from the roast potatoes, can't stand them.

I am often labelled a freak for this.

Strange but not a freak, I don't like gravy

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Roast spuds

 

[algie]

Roast spuds followed by Meat and puds.


I know a few families who have roast spuds and mash together. I find that weird.

 

[upthealbion1970]

Roast onion

 

[Nibble]

You cant have any of it without the other. It is a symbiotic relationship. Though roast spuds for me. And I am partial to sweetcorn swimming in gravy.

 

[Gully]

As I only eat one roast dinner a year, on average, I will have to go for the cranberry sauce...just love the stuff!

 

[Durlston]

Sage and onion stuffing.

 

[Napper]

Got to be the potatoes and gravy. If these are not of the highest standard then whole thing falls down

 

[countryman]

Meat.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Curry sauce

 

[Knightsworld]

Roast spuds, especially if they are really crispy on the outside, and fluffy in the middle. Perfection.

I would agree to an extent. A proper made thick gravy is lovley. I cant stand the 'oxo cube in litre of water' gravy churned up at some places. Like pouring water all over your food!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Honourable mention for the humble cauliflower which punches above its weight on such occasions. Take a bow son!

 

[surrey jim]

In asnwer would say goose fat roasted potatoes and parsnips are my favourite

well, it is pretty freaky.

the Yorkshire is the best bit, because its usually the only time you have it.

Agree. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, as Aristotle said as he tucked into yorkshire pud and beef.

The cauliflower will be making an appearence in today's dinner, along with roast parsnips, roast onion and roast butternt squash.

Roast Spuds can do one.
