    Beef and Yorkshire?
    Beef and roast spuds?
    Pork with lovely crackling?
    Duck?
    Goose?
    Chicken?
    Venison?
    Lamb, perhaps with some anchovies?

    (Gah! Wrong forum!)

    Yes.

    All of them. Except the anchovies. They have no right to be anywhere near a roast. The only place they should be is in the sea.

    Has to be lamb.

    Though pork with decent crackling runs it close. Indeed I’ve just finished the last of today’s crackling….

    Just asked the kids this….5 year old went for pork with crackling, 7 year old went for lamb. I was enjoying the beef we were eating at the time, so I’m going to go for all, at the same time, with roast pots and yorkshire puds and thick home made proper gravey

    Lamb with anchovies, garlic, rosemary has to be tried
    Pork belly soaked in brine for a day then slow roasted
    Fillet of beef, veal, or venison; pink in the middle

    But the one thing I like best of all: crispy skin on a proper roast chicken (before eating the rest of it)

    I’ve got a topside joint in the fridge marinating in beer+sugar+vinegar+spices that I’m going to braise next Sunday, looking forward to that one

    Had slow roast Angus beef at the Park Hotel in Peebles today. Best bought roast I’ve had, and for just a tenner. Amazing yorkies.

    What’s the brown thing levitating above the meat?

    Looks like a small earthenware ornamental elephant. Is that what it is?

    Lamb with anchovies, garlic, rosemary has to be tried

    Finally. Someone else with taste regarding lamb.

    Oh, and as above, crispy skin, crispy crackling, and even the crispy fat atop a rolled sirloin….Nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom

    I’m more concerned that the whole thing seems to be sitting in a watery soup. Is it some sort of broth?

    P-Jay I should’ve put something in the pic for scale, and of course taken before the veg arrived

    That, as you know, is a Yorkshire pud. Being Shropshire, and not Yorkshire, it got delivered with the main course. (Rabbit pasty for starter)

    Lamb here too.
    Bizarrely I’ve taken to a spoon of mushy peas with a roast too (was on offer at a local pub, felt strange but good!)

    He said got to try but failed to add that it’s not that good, did nothing me anyway.

    Lamb, but it’s got to be done well. It’s a tougher meat to cook well IMO.
    Beef is generally safer if you’re somewhere new.

    Definitely lamb

    Either cooked rare and pink, sliced and served with fresh mint sauce. You need to know what you’re doing though as if overlooked it’s not good

    Or….

    Slow cooked all day in a really low oven with rosemary, anchovies and lots of garlic. This method provides better cold lamb leftovers as the fat is rendered. It’s also really, really easy and timings become pretty irrelevant. Put in the oven in the morning, go ride all day, viola ready when you’re home

    Lamb. Anyone who disagrees with me is a fool.

    Pork roast with apple sauce. Mmmmmm.

    Impeccable thread timing, btw, what with Lent starting tomorrow and all. 😉
