Is the best roast dinner.

But all other roast dinners are pretty good too.

I prefer lamb.

Have got beef today though - brisket in a pot roast

amen to that

Lamb is certainly delicious too.

Beef is best though because I like to eat it raw.

Pork for me,Crackling tips the scales.

Mmmm. Pork. That is also delicious.

Beef is fantastic.

It's hard to get a good beef joint out here though as a lot of it is actually water buffalo beef which is nowhere near as good. And Lamb is foookin expensive.

grow your own cows and sheep you lazy cunt.

A nice medium beef roast with yorkshires and horseradish tops the roast list.
Although a slow roast shoulder of lamb comes a very close second.

I like my lamb pink. Not as pink as my beef which I like raw.

I tried to Ben, but my neighbours kept complaining about the smell coming from my balcony.

Chicken is my favourite. Or sausages. Beef's alright, got to have good homemade gravy though or it's wasted. Bit of Yorkie's a good addition as well, although Toad in the Hole is better.

I'm gonna phone the old dear and see if she's making one for dinner tonight. :)

"Sausages" aren't a fucking roast dinner. Neither is Toad in the Hole.

Luckily my mum makes the best Yorkshire puddings and I make the best gravy. So such things aren't a problem.

That sounded a bit hostile. Sausages are ace. I haven't had toad in the hole for ages. Used to make it quite a lot.

What? Yes they fucking are!!! Roast the chucker and throw sausages down the sides, sausages with roasts are ace. And toad in the hole isn't part of a roast dinner? I don't know of it's origins and won't use the various search facilities available to me, but i've always had it with roast dinners. :)

Sausages with a roast dinner yeah, but you said "Chicken is my favourite. Or sausages. " like they were the main bit. I presumed the same with toad in the hole. Sorry about the confusion.

Yes sausages are ace with a roast chicken. wrapped in bacon. yum.

Chicken can be nice, but it should only be the top of the list for pretend vegetarians, gays and women.

Actually yeah, i was fucking confusing. In the manner i talked of sausages they're not used. They're not a roast dinner's meat unless you're a fucking heathen. And i'm a gay pretend vegetarian so chicken is ace.

Chicken is great when with another meat.

Asides from that, it should be used only for chips and ruby's.

Just had roast chicken. Prefer beef but as long as it comes with mint sauce man don't give a fuck.

Perfect Sunday. Roast in the oven, the papers, pissing down outside, then a bit of Countryfile, X factor and Top Gear later.

roast beef with horseradish sauce, roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings and a pint of gravy.

I've got wild venison for the roast today.

All the tastiness of rare roast beef with really low levels of fat and cholesterol.

 Yesterday...I had roast duck.  Had a lengthy debate about whether red or white should be the accompanying wine....finally settled for white. Is this controversial TEF wine buffs?

Roast chicken for me today but pork is my usual favourite.

Roast chicken in about an hour...beggsy the wings.....Roast beef is my fave though.....fucking great big sirloin joint for xmas.....yum!!........pink in the middle.

im just cooking a nice joint of pork! I know its a bit of a mind fuck but im having a yorkshire pudding with it! Opinions?

You can have Yorkshire pudding with anything you like.

SECONDED!

Ice-cream?

We have yorkshire pudding with whatever roast we're having.

Why not?

Yeah, that'd be like pancakes...

Reg, as for wine choice with duck, i'd always opt for a red... don't know what variety though.

Reg, for me it's what you like, not what others think you should have, but there's usually logic behind the experts' views.  I'd say a crisp dry white would cut through the fatty richness of the duck quite well. Wouldn't fancy a heavy red or oaked white with duck.

Each to their own I say.

And concerning roasts, Medium rare beef, then lamb, then pork, then chicken.  Yorkshire pudding with all, mint sauce only with lamb (Sussex)

Mint sauce goes with all (my) roasts neville. It's an extension of the gravy family.

chicken and slow cooked gammon with cabbage is my fav.

My great aunt's family used to have Yorkshire Puds for pudding with treacle on them.

And mine :)

Still do if theres enough puddings left over. Have to be warm though

That's what I decided in the end...very good it was too.

Roast beef was superb. I'm feeling rather full. Chilling out with a bottle or two of red. Taking it a bit easy though as have to get up tomorrow.

Seconded.

My missus makes the best roasties and yorkies going.

red with duck. Bad choice Reg!!

I'd comment on the red/white thing but I have red with everything.

I used to hate red wine, however since I have matured I would say red wine is the bees knees! Apparently you never get a bad Corbieres however Rioja is my favourite wine of all time!!

 I knew this would start a hornet's nest of controversy..

 I ended the night drinking a curious mixture of beer/lager/red wine...I hate to see drink wasted and as the lightweight birds I was with had reached their limits, I polished off the leftovers....wasn't bad at all  :)

Red wine is my drink of choice at home usually.
I love a good Merlot or Rioja.
Although tonight i'm drinking a Shiraz unfortunately named Oxford Landing.
It was on offer in the Co-op and is a nice drop :)

I had a drop of that the otherday. was tasty enough.

Merlot is a good, safe red choice. I had Shiraz for the first time in India. I didn't enjoy it!

Shiraz is my favourite red. Can't go wrong with a Cab Sauv either.

White with duck. That is all.

Getting hammered on Claret on Thrusday evening used to be a bit of a ritual for some friends and I.

We had it with nothing.

Now I know its not de-rigeur to quote yourself - normally the first sign of madness, but I just thought I'd show you what just popped out of my oven......

Yes, its almost as big as the back door  :eek:

That, pumbaa, is a masterpiece of culinary art.

What was equally masterful were the Water Buffalo Sausages in Onion, Mushroom and Red Wine gravy that accompanied it. True winter comfort food.......Unfortunately, I can't take the credit.

That should be given an award

You could sleep on that!

Cockburns half price at Somerfield!!...the drink that is.

That has to be 0% interest for 4 years and no deposit at DFS FFS......

Go to Threshers!!

I cleared out the Hammersmith branch of port before the Specials gig.


10 bottles of quality port for £50....
