marsh man Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 I have never been tempted to stay in half a Sunday just for a roast dinner , seem a bit of a waste to me , so we used to have a roast dinner on a Monday night , now I have one whenever I fancy it , today was such a nice day I spent a fair bit of it out in the countryside and done a roast dinner for my tea , no wonder they say Norfolk people seem a bit strange Anyhow this was the end result before the gravy went on.

gmm243 Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 Growing up I always heard of people having their Sunday roast. When I was young, say under 10, I could never understand what they meant as it was never a thing in our house. I can honestly say that ,unless we went to a friend's house or out somewhere, I never had a Sunday lunch in my parents house. Dad used to work Mon - Fri then shoot or fish on Sat and Sunday was spent working in the garden or doing bees or something similar. My memory of Sunday lunches in our house were really only a bowl of soup and a sandwich. Now I am married and have kids we do have a Sunday roast once in a while but certainly not every week. It's more of a winter thing for us but I know that some of my in-laws have it religiously every week after church. Today the kids are going fishing with my dad, I am clearing up some small gardening jobs, picking black berries then going for a stalk in the evening so lunch today is going to be leftovers.

(Noted you added this later) … but my god man… I know what you mean Lloyd but this is an East Anglian roast , pigs in blankets were only on the menu at Christmas and my Aunt Bessie had run out of Yorkshires , as for the spuds , I would like to say I had no room on my plate but in my excitement I totally forgot about the spuds ☺️ 2 hours ago, JKD said: Title should be,,,, "Mainly boiled veg" 🤦♂️😆😂 Meat looks a bit 'stringy' 🤪🤣 The meat was a rolled bit of Lamb shoulder from M + S , took 45 minutes to cook and my dog didn't complain when he got the leftovers , as for the veg , I had them in the steamer for 15 minutes , all in all it was a lot of work for one nights tea but at least I made the effort , I will finish off the other half of the joint tonight with spuds and maybe some chips 3 hours ago, TIGHTCHOKE said: With the greatest respect MM, does your carving knife need sharpening? I know there is room for improvement, but to be fair I am a raw recruit T C , that knife was the sharpest one in the house , the joint was big enough for four people so I cut off two big slices which was about half of it , I know I am not a big eater but one slice wouldn't had been quite enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again - in my opinion pork should be fairly thin, as should beef, but poultry (mainly turkey as small birds tend to be 'separated' - i.e separated into natural pieces not cut - rather than sliced). Game birds should be separated. Venison very much depends on how it is cut and cooked. It can be difficult to slice thin. All meats should be sliced thin when cold.

I can agree with that too, but the slices looked a little ragged and as you know we strive for good presentation here on PW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly what you mean T C and I do strive for perfection☺️ , one mistake ( one of many ) was to slice it while it was to hot even though I left it for five minutes to settle down after it came out of the oven , As for presentation , I have seen P C lay out a three figure bag of Pigeons a lot neater than my two pieces of meat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fishing was poor enough by all accounts. 4 small pike and 2 lost. Very bright conditions but the boys enjoyed it all. The stalking was more successful with a sika stag shot about half an hour before dusk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
