The best bit of a roast?

Roast potatoes. I will happily have less meat to fit more spuds on my plate.
Just sitting here in a post roastie glow.

Proper gravy and really buttery mash. Yummerz!

I’m about to sit down for my second roast dinner of the day, it’s 3.15pm and not even Christmas
And in answer to the question, Yorkshire puddings

Roast potatoes and streaming live coverage ftw?

You cannot reduce a roast dinner to a single component. Heresy I tell ye.

Best bit: Yorkshire puddings
Worst bit: rodding the drain that’s blocked with all the fat that wasn’t poured down the sink, honest

The chicken skin

Assuming you are having a chicken.

I’ve often wondered what the crackling would be like on a rhinoceros .

Surely hippo crackling is the ultimate?

Roasts are massively overrated . There is said it.

There’s only one way to find out! 😀

Leftovers! I love bubble & squeak!

You are doing it wrong then.

Chicken – The wings and the parsons nose while carving.

Beef – A sliver of the hot fat while carving.

roasties gravy and cheese sauce…..

The last mop of the gravy with bits of everything in with the last bit of meat and Yorkshire. And the snooze on the sofa afterwards

Not cooking it yourself 😉

Crispy roast potatoes for sure. I can never do them quite right myself though. Almost there but not quite.

All the juicy mush left over on your plate at the end. They should put that stuff in jars and sell it as a toast topping.

Roast spuds. Proper made roasted though not bought in a packet from Iceland. In fact all of it is so good. Don’t get the opportunity these days to have a roast dinner but I love them.

Somewhere in my distant past, I used to be able to just buy roast potatoes in a bag as a takeaway, then just douse in salt & pepper.

Can’t remember where though, but it was a great idea!

(oh, and does anyone remember the particular jacket spud van on Torquay harbourside back in the early 2000s that served the drunken revelers? That was awesome)

My thoughts too.

The Parson’s Nose

Somewhere in my distant past, I used to be able to just buy roast potatoes in a bag as a takeaway, then just douse in salt & pepper.

Some supermarkets use to have them.

I’ve just found out that a place round the corner does roast beef in Yorkshire pudding wraps.

Oh my…

I can’t decide if that’s inspired, or some decapitated monster.

Someone else washing up

The hock bits on a leg of lamb when carving, the oysters in a chicken but overall super crunchy roasties done in dripping.

Meat the well cooked bits on the outside m mmm.

Being grateful I have a dishwasher.
I hate washing up. Love a good beef roast dinner though. Beef and mustard with gravy FTW.

Roast potatoes
Roasted parmesan parsnips
carrots cooked in butter, honey and star anise

Parsnips

/thread

Crackling, properly done. Not too toothsome and just chewy enough.

It’s the USP that makes me choose roast pork over beef, chicken or even lamb when I’m out for Sunday lunch.

I can’t pick a single best part of a roast. I can’t even think of a not so nice but either.

Rare roast beef, gravy, Yorkshire pudding, horseradish. The rest is just filler

Roast Gnarrsnip.

I’m popping round to Pictonroads next Sunday!

Just about to pull a slow roast shoulder of lamb from the oven.
Sat on a bed of veg but with crispy roast potatoes & sprouts for accompaniment
