Jimzk5 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Sparked by a discussion at work today by a lad who mentioned he has sweetcorn with his roast dinners, I've never heard of such a thing, with this in mind, describe what makes the perfect roast for you Meat - lamb with mint sauce potatoes - mashed & roasted veg - peas, carrots, cauliflower & broccoli extras - sausages, as many as 3 or 4 depending how hungry I am,minimum 2 Yorkshire puddings and stuffing, occasionally English mustard too. Note - anyone who says Swede or cauliflower cheese are disqualified from the best roast dinner competition.

BOF Posted December 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted December 12, 2013 So you'd describe the perfect roast dinner as containing no roast potatoes? Riiight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Meat - Lots of tender lamb and little bit of succulent beef potatoes - mashed and a few giant roasters veg - peas, carrots and cooked parsnip extras - A giant soft Yorkshire pudding with 5 or 6 pigs in blankets inside and plenty of gravy all over.

Eames Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) With Beef: Horseradish Sauce/Cream as per your preference With Pork: Bramley Apple sauce (must be sharp not sweet) With Chicken: gravy only With turkey: Bread Sauce With Lamb: mint sauce With Gammon: pineapple/fried egg as per preference and mustard. Poatoes: Roasted Veg (any/all of the following are acceptible): Parsnips (roasted), peas, carrots, asparagus, cauliflower, sprouts, broccoli, sugar snap peas, mange tout Gravy made from the meat juice Yorkshire pudding to be served only with Beef for reasons that are entirely obvious yet intangible. Stuffing to be only deployed when roasting poultry,. Cranberry sauce/redcurrent jelly are outlawed on the grounds that having jam on your dinner is totally unacceptable. Mustard is a universal condiment to be served with all of the above meats. It may be English, Dijon or whole grain as per personal preference. Sausages may be served with chicken, pigs in blankets with turkey. Sausages with any other meat is no allowed. The presence of ketchup, mayo, salad cream is punishable by doing all of the washing up in a hat bearing the legend "I'm a massive whoopsie" Edited December 12, 2013 by Eames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) i have yorkshire puddings and stuffing with all roast dinners usually have 2 types of potato too, roasts and mash but i'll flavour the mash pretty much everytime, say with parsnips, horseradish, mint or mustard the othe rahlf likes to add garlic but im not overly fussed by it roast carrots and peas everytime with then whatever else im in the mood for which is usually broccoli also on everything i roast i use this salt / pepper / chilli grinder thing i got from B&M bargains, its brilliant, and i'll throw some red onions in the roasting dish Edited December 12, 2013 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted December 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted December 12, 2013 Must say I don't get what a Yorkshire pud brings to the dish. They're full of air and take up valuable real estate on the plate. I think they're more a tradition than anything else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
