Sunday Roast
Possibly the most famous of all English dishes alongside fish and chips, Sunday roast is traditionally made for the big family meal of the week, Sunday lunch. Depending on the area, some carve the meat in thin slices in the kitchen and bring it to the table, while others carve it on the family table so that everyone can enjoy the view.
Although beef is the most traditional option, lamb, duck, goose, pork, or turkey are also often used for Sunday roast. The meat is almost always accompanied by roasted potatoes, fresh seasonal vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and parsley, carrots with coriander, and a thick, rich gravy.
As a side dish, Yorkshire puddings are served on the same plate, baked beneath the meat, oozing with juicy meat drippings. Sunday roast is not just a dish of the week, but also a philosophy, representing family, friends, love, friendship and sharing.
