How many do you have a month?
Going back 20 years or so it was routine to have a splendid roasty with all the trimmings and boy they were wonderful.Times have changed and it seems roasty's are as rare as CMS's goals.

I tend to have two in a month now although not long ago it was nearer 1 every 3 months

And how many roast dinners?

When there are good potatoes for roasting, I tend to do one a week. Otherwise, about one a month. Was just thinking about doing a pork loin with crackling for tonight. Hmmm, yep, gotta be done!

Probably about one a month in the summer and two-three a month in the winter .

It was every Sunday when I was a lad sitting at the table with Mum , Dad and Sister with my Nan once every two weeks , listening to Jimmy Sa-VILE .

Very traditional we have roast every Sunday alternating between Beef Lamb and Pork and a roast one day in the week usually Wednesday or Thursday with Chicken. The veg when in season must include fresh runner beans and marrow.

The missus gets a good roast about once a fortnight with plenty of juicy pork. She also likes a quality stuffing.

Once a year at Xmas. I have always felt roast dinners are rather over-rated.

We usually cook enough on Sunday for me to have a second on Monday. So, I have about 8 a month I guess.

It's beef today. We alternate between, Beef, Chicken, Lamb and Pork.

Usually every week apart from the odd sunday Barbeque in summer or a slow cooked stew in winter.

Roast pork is the meat of choice at chez jevs, with the odd roast chicken or leg of lamb for a change.

Today, to compliment the pork, i have roast potatoes, roast parsnips, leeks, runner beans, swede, all grown on the allotment + sprouts and stuffing and also home made gravy.

Spuds are in....par boiled for 10 mins then bashed about in the steamer with the lid on. Put in pre-heated, hot oil and seasoned with garlic and rosemary

Probably about two a month but would like more. Usually Beef or Chicken with roast Spuds, roast parsnips, sprouts, cabbage, carrots and peas. Love it.

I am really going off eating a roast out these days, was in Hove Place last week and it's £14 for roast Beef/Pork/ Lamb . It was ok but not exactly filling, mind you there were some hefty priced desserts on offer to fill the gap. Including a couple of drinks you could comfortably spend £25 a head on what was a family staple.

Not very often nowadays. Since Mrs P's daughter has moved out, we simply can't be arsed to cook one for just the 2 of us.

Most Sundays now involve sticking something in the slow cooker early doors, then doing whatever we have to do all day, and dinner is ready early evening when we want it.
