The Perfect Sunday Roast The GREAT British Sunday Roast: A tradition explained.

The Sunday Roast is a traditional British main meal, consisting of roasted meat together with accompaniments. Other names for this meal are Sunday dinner, Sunday lunch, Roast dinner, and Sunday joint. The traditional Sunday roast has been traced back to its roots in Yorkshire, during the Industrial Revolution. It is believed this tradition arose because the meat could be left in the oven to cook before church on a Sunday morning, and it would be ready when the family arrived home at lunchtime.

Typical meats used for a Sunday roast are beef, chicken, lamb or pork, although seasonally duck, goose, gammon, turkey or other game may be used. Recently, vegetarian alternatives such as Quorn or Nut Roast have also become available. These are some of the common traditional accompaniments to various meats (although many people combine different types of accompaniments, or mix and match foods): Roast Beef — served with Yorkshire pudding, horseradish mustard as relishes. In Yorkshire rings of fresh onion in vinegar are also served. In Scotland Neaps & Tatties are served (potatoes and turnips) and also Skirled, which is an oat based accompaniment.

Roast Pork — served with crackling and sage and onion stuffing; apple sauce or baked apples and English Mustard as relishes.

Roast Lamb - is traditional with mint sauce or redcurrant jelly.

Although more recently the trend for garlic and rosemary has also become a staple.

Roast Chicken - served with pigs in blankets (chipolata sausages wrapped in bacon), bread sauce and redcurrant jelly.

Sunday Roast in pubs and restaurants Many pubs in Britain serving food have a special “Sunday menu” that features a Sunday Roast, usually with a variety of meats available, and this is often cheaper than the normal menu. We all have our memories of the perfect Sunday Lunch and our firm family favourites. So this Spring, whether it’s at home or in a local pub/restaurant, why not combine a good Sunday walk with a roast dinner, surely a great tradition to be enjoyed by children of all ages.

Roasts have been given many fresh and new make-overs by recent Chefs/Cook books, but the basics are still the same. They are normally served with a range of boiled and roast seasonal and regional vegetables.

The Sunday Roast is perhaps one of the last meals where this tradition survives. Also, we must not forget the gravy, made from stock, wine, vegetable waters and left over juices from the meat.

Sometimes, the left-over meat was used to make Shepherd’s Pie (Lamb) or Cottage Pie (Beef), or if there are vegetables left, then a bubble and squeak with cold cuts, would make many a Monday night supper.
