leemond2008 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Apparently the other week I had a Sunday dinner round at me mom n dads but I got absolutely hammered the night before and topped myself up whilst I was round at theirs with 2 bottles of wine and a few cans, I cant remember eating it at all.

Jimzk5 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 My moms roast is the bollocks really, I've had half a dozen via different sources, carverys and missus parents but nothing comes close to my old dears, the worst experience was the first one my missus mom made us and when I asked for mint sauce she just spooned it out the jar onto the plate, instead of diluting it in vinegar and pouring it over.

mjmooney Posted December 12, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Roast beef (cooked rare, with HOT horseradish sauce, non of this creamed nonsense) Roast potatoes - no mash Red cabbage Carrots A green veg (my preference would be sprouts, but runner beans or broccoli are acceptable) EDIT: Risso just reminded me about roast parsnips - alternatively roast butternut squash Proper gravy made from meat juice (not granules, etc.) Personally, I have no use for Yorkshire Puddings, but my family would disagree. Bottle of claret or Rioja. Edited December 12, 2013 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Rare roast beef, sliced thinly Home made gravy Yorkshire pudding Roast potatoes Roast parsnips Peas Carrots Broccoli Horseradish sauce An excellent red wine You will notice that there is no mention of pickled onions on the above list, however my mother-in-law insists on putting them on the table AT EVERY SINGLE MEAL!

chrisp65 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Empty plate because roasts are awful. we could put it in a paper bag and hand it to you through the car window if that helps? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 As per Risso but shove the parsnips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Always crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. for the fluffy in the middle try boiling them for 5-10 minutes 1st, crispy on the outside is what i struggle to get right, cant get the oil right either put too much in and then end up greasy or not enough and they burn Rub them in a little bit of corn flour, and get the oil as hot as you possibly can. For good roast potatoes you rattle them around in a colander to roughen the outsides. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who puts parsnips in a roast automatically loses my respect. Foul, disgusting things I didn't realise parsnips were such a controversial item. For the record, I love them but I can now see why they pretend to be chips sometimes with this hate out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Beef on a roast is overrated. What are you, some kinda ho-mo-sekshual boy?! No. I'd just put about 5/6 other meats above it in a purely roast context. However, I'd put a proper steak at the top of my list of any meat.
