Roast dinners

Please elaborate on what kind of pasta you’d do with roast lamb

I’m on the record about not liking sandwiches tbf but I’ll give you this one

Made a simple roast dinner yesterday, was great.

Roast beef (dry brined and then coated with some mustard and garlic)
Roast potatoes (nothing but salt)
Yorkshire puddings (put a bit of mustard powder into the batter)
Leeks in cheese sauce (sometimes crumble a bit of bread on the top before baking)
Peas (kids love them)
Gravy (I i couldn’t be bothered making one so I used some bisto as I was trying to watch the football at the same time)

9/10, really good plate

ranking of meat:
lamb
beef
chicken

I do love a roast dinner. I’m rather proud of my roast potatoes, always spot on.

Some pubs do incredibly good roasts imo

not really a fan, can you believe that!

I like roast pork, beef and lamb, but would never make them myself, and would also never order at a restaurant or pub.

6 or 7/10 food.

Agreed

Also, leftovers for a monday lunch that I am about to make

No pork = no crackling just think about that for a second.

Shred it up, maybe mix it with some tomato based sauce and then penne or tagliatelle I guess? Not a culinary masterpiece but a perfectly tasty midweek low effort dinner.

My pleasure

Always find it difficult to avoid it going really tough when used as a leftover as well tbf. Stroganoff is a great leftover roast lamb dish but always ends up with it going very leathery when I do it.

Think it’s a bit overrated but i see the appeal

One of the least convenient meals when you’re cooking for 1 person though otherwise I’d do it more

Gammon
Chicken
Lamb
Exotic game bird
Generic pork
Turkey

Beef

Very disappointing when pubs only have roasts on the menu on Sundays, and nothing else.

Absolute scam innit.

Chef fancies a jolly-up so just bungs a load of stuff in the oven and puts their feet up for the rest of the afternoon

I think if I met someone and knew that they lived alone and then they told me they made a roast for themselves of a weekend I’d treat that person with a degree of suspicion moving forward
