Sunday Roast Anyone?

[marcella]

Following on from a conversation I had with Kendal on our way home from the walk I had mentioned that my dinner was in the oven. She asked what I was cooking and for a change I'm having a 'sunday roast'. Roast chicken, chipolatas, stuffing, broccoli, sweetcorn (the only veg Em eats ) and the main ingredient ............ home made roast potatoes roasted in goose fat!!!!! Oh and gravy of course .............
We were salivating at the thought of the roast potatoes (Janis I really hope you're not making her fish fingers tonight now ).
Do you all have a traditional roast dinner on a sunday?
I rarely do, I just cook whatever we feel like. Whether it is a roast, pasta, curry or soup and a sandwich!!!!!!

Anyway ............. I'm starving now, my walk has given me an appetite!!!!

chinese tonight for us but we did have steak pie last night:) i'm to only one who attempts a roast dinner, so if i cant be bothered then it will never happen, sounds good though, would love to know how to cook a chicken properly though, i just get the breasts

[kerry]

oh apparently paul can make a roast he just chooses not to, lol. i still havent mastered the roast potatoes, they come out different every time

[marcella]

goose fat or duck fat for the potatoes!!!!!!

Chicken - just read the instructions that's what I do! I used to only buy breasts too but when it's cooked on the bone it's got more flavour and much more tender.

Chinese ...............mmmmmmmmmmmmmm ............ I love chinese. Which takeaway do you use?

[kerry]

as see i just use oil to lightly coat them where do you get it from? tesco? lol next sunday and i might try it, or is that when we are walking?

we use the one on top of the town centre, dragons palace i think, love their sweet and sour chicken balls, yum, although i mix the sweet and sour sauce in with chicken fried rice(no pees ) my mouth is watering just now thinking about it

Mmmm sounds lovely, tho I hope it was a free range chicken

We usually have anything on a Sun too

we went to get free range chicken yesterday from tesco and there was none left, only one wee organic chicken breast left which cost a fortune, so ended up getting tescos finest

Goose fat makes a huge difference too.

Goose is delicious too, Allans friend got us some goose breast and they were lovely and so filling, and like cross between steak and chicken but really yummy

Yes Kerry, Tesco sell goose fat. It's sold in jars and is usually beside the meat in the chiller cabinets. Makes a difference

[Steven]

Yep, we have a roast every Sunday, always have and probably always will, either salmon cut roast beef, roast chicken or my favourite smoked pork loin joint. Always have with either cabbage, turnip, sprouts when in season, cauliflower or mushrooms fried in butter. And yes roast potatoes in Goose fat nothing beats that.
