Saxondale Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 Got invited to my misses's friends' for dinner this weekend - the usually couplesy fake bollocks. As it happens we didn't go because they cried off ill. Anyway, I was originally very unexcited about going, but my misses said we'd be having a takeaway there so I thought at least I can fill my face and keep quiet. I then got told we weren't having a takeaway but that they'd be cooking a roast dinner - at which point I kicked off. I was already upset about having to spend my Saturday evening doing false couplesy crap, but I found the idea of a roast dinner on a Saturday evening strangely abhorrent. It's called Sunday dinner for a reason. My misses still maintains it isn't weird to have a roast on a Sunday evening, so it needs to go to a vote.
ScouseFox Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 Tough one, a bit of both I'd say. Bit weird cos it is Sunday lunch but if someone offered to cook a roast with all the trimmings for me on a Saturday there ain't a chance in hell I'd refuse.
Rincewind Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 I had roast chicken on a Saturday at my sisters. Never even thought about it. It is a meal after all. There are no set rules about what you should eat and when. What do you have when you go to a restaurant? Chicken? Beef? We also had chicken Sunday night.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 My grandma cooks dinners like that probably 4 of the 7 nights a week. It's called healthy eating.
Guest Col city fan Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 Roast dinner on a Sat night! No fookin chance. Sat night is MEANT for being unhealthy! A few lagers followed by a curry or kebab is wot a Sat night is about. Sat night is also, I would suggest, lads night. Friday and Sunday night can be 'couples night'. Don't ruin your Saturday nights, boys, by going out with the missis.. A 'coupley' roast dinner on a Sat night? I genuinely can't think of much worse mate.
Guest Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 Any day is a good day for a roast. There's too many roast traditionalists on here!
Bayfox Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 Wouldnt want it every week. But if someone else is cooking and I've got to go round and put up with company I dont want. Then **** it why not. we had christmas dinner, roast turkey, all the trimmings for our wedding meal. In august!!! And our local pub now does. Midweek sunday dinner every weds night.
jonthefox Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 I'd eat it almost everyday if i could. (Be arsed).
stix Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 I'd eat it every day if I could. I'm getting indigestion just thinking about it.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 What's everyones favourite roast? Spit

ousefox Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 When I'm at home we probably have roasts about three times a week. Sunday doesn't really come into it. Don't know if it's anything to do with living in the city centre rather than the countryside?
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 I have my main meal of the day between 1am and 2am. Is that late or is it early?
Beliall Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 My grandma cooks dinners like that probably 4 of the 7 nights a week. It's called healthy eating. No wrong time for a roast imo Any day is a good day for a roast. There's too many roast traditionalists on here! I'd eat it almost everyday if i could. (Be arsed). I'd eat it every day if I could. I'm getting indigestion just thinking about it. these. I have my roast on a friday usually.
Kitchandro Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 I never turn down a roast. As long as the taters and meat are cooked to perfection.
pSinatra Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 I'll have a roast any day of the week. What makes it a Sunday roast is the fact that we have a pudding. No puddings in the week, but always a pudding on a Sunday.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 Do we like thick gravy or runny like diarrhoea? My mum used to make it like the latter which completely ruins a roast dinner
Webbo Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 Do we like thick gravy or running like diarrhoea? My mum used to make it like the latter which completely ruins a roast dinner Just Oxo, no thickening. I won't have anything else.
Rincewind Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 Had a beef roast in we at her spoons gone 3pm still tasted the same as one eaten at 1pm.
cambridgefox Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 Do we like thick gravy or runny like diarrhoea? My mum used to make it like the latter which completely ruins a roast dinner Just Oxo, no thickening. I won't have anything else.Thick gravy with a dash of Worcester Sauce.Try it.
Webbo Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 Thick gravy with a dash of Worcester Sauce.Try it. Gravy should soak into mash potatoes, not float on top.
Zingari Posted 24 November 2013 Posted 24 November 2013 Do we like thick gravy or runny like diarrhoea? My mum used to make it like the latter which completely ruins a roast dinner that sounds like a very loaded question to me i like fried onions with the beef stock in my gravy , and quite thick.
