What Constitutes Your Perfect Roast Dinner

[Tony Moanero]

Roast rib of beef pink in the middle with the loads of fat and flavour.

Roasties - golden and crunchy outside and soft as mash inside.

Carrots glazed in butter

Savoy cabbage in butter

Peas with bacon, onion and white wine

Fucking loads of Madeira gravy - I want it swimming in that shit

Horseradish sauce

 

Proper Yorkshire pud as a starter

 

A full bodied red to wash it down.

 

Not arsed about a desert after that lot.

 

 

Never heard of the cunt.

[Lee909]

Venison is where its at.

 

To be honest you can stick the rest of the roast. I'll take Venison,fried egg and chips any day

 

Alternatively a venison casserole

Roasties are ace but you need meat.

 

1. Meat
2. Roasties
3. Gravy
4. The rest

[Lee909]

I can't eat many potato's anymore.

Too many carbs. Either way a good bit of meat is always the best,especially with egg

[Tony Moanero]

1. Roast potatoes / gravy

2. Veg (I absolutely love swede)

3. Meat

 

A few years ago, whilst drinking in York, I had two roast dinners back-to-back. A short while after, I was drinking porter in the Guy Fawkes Inn, when they handed out complimentary plates of hot roast potatoes. I commandeered a plate and quickly demolished the lot, much to my wife's embarrassment.

Was she not capable of finishing hers? I can't think of any other reason she would be embarrassed.

The roasties were intended to be shared among people. There was another couple sat at the same table as my wife and I. The husband was clearly keen to sample the fare, but I had no intention of letting him have a look in, the bastard.

[SammyAftershave]

A Man's portion of Leg of lamb (roasted in lots of garlic and fresh rosemary)

Roasties (well seasoned and plenty of them)

Mashed carrot n' turnip/swede

Marrowfat peas (The hard fuckers you have to soak overnight in a net with a bicarb tablet)

Savoy cabbage

Roast parsnips

The lot drenched in a thick rich gravy made from the meat juices and cabbage water

 

The assemblage on the plate looking as formidable as anything Red Rum jumped over

 

Dessert

The leg bone of the lamb (early-man style)

Fresh crusty bread and butter

 

Afterwards

Bed or death

One winters Sunday in the days before we had kids, the Mrs and I popped into a pub near us, intended to just have a quick drink.  

 

Halfway through my pint the landlord came over and put a bowl of roasties on the table with a pot of gravy. 

 

Needless to say that simply awesome gesture led to us staying in there all afternoon and evening getting pissed as newts

[Chip Butty]

In those heady days of being an Apex predator and a major carnivore, I went through all options for the best meat accompaniment for a roast, i found only two could do it for me, Beef rib joint or Cockerel. The latter being without doubt the best of all the bird white meats.

Veg:

Roasties(goose fat on two trays to get rid of the moisture)

Mash

Carrotts in a bag(garlic, cumin, butter and wine) or pan fried and glazed

Sauteed leeks with pancetta, parmesan and cream

Cauliflower

Cabbage

Broccoli

Roast Parsnips(with honey)

Home made Yorkshire puddings

Gravy was always made from the juices of the meat

 

Now as a non practicing carnivore and pretty much a Z-list predator. All of the above, but without the meat.....God I miss the cockerel. 

[cloggypop]

Chip Butty misses the cock

[Chip Butty]

I loved the cock in me day Cloggy
