Favourite meat for a Sunday roast?

[Imagedude]

What is your preferred meat for a Sunday roast?

I do like a nice thick piece or raw beef but then does that really beat a plate of lamb chops with their crispy fat.. And then there is pork and apple sauce plus the crackling that keeps it in the running. I do like duck and orange sauce but perhaps I can keep duck as a favourite chinese dish rather than a traditional roast. As much as I like those meats I'm voting for chicken, a much under appreciated choice for roasting.

Pork, ideally shoulder but any that gives good crackling!

Can't beat a good roasted leg of lamb

Just had a Sunday roast.... beef... meaty goodness

I may have got the quantities wrong as usual... still have half the beef joint left, but I did cook 5lb of spuds for roasties, broccoli, carrots, green beans, apple and sage stuffing, apple and pork sausages, 16x yorkshire puds and topped it all in beef gravy.

Means I've got something for supper

Many of the options are free if you are a good 'bushcrafter'.

Or a good shot

Living alone, it's not often I get a roast of anything other than Chicken. It's easy to do a piece of roast chicken for one, either just a breast fillet, or a chicken quarter still on the bone. It's a lot harder to do a decent roast beef for one...

When out at a pub lunch where a roast is on offer, I will tend to go for the Beef as I don't get it so often...

Tough one. A chicken was tops when I was a kid, was a rare treat and if you get a good well reared bird and roast it well it's fairly hard to beat.
Do like a nice bit of hogget or mutton. Hard to get though a couple of local farms sell half or whole beasts. Do like a nice roast bunny too, got to moisten it though.

Sunday dinner? Chicken; but only if it's fried. otherwise it ain't really a proper Sunday chicken dinner.

If it absolutely must be roasted, then either beef (preferably a pot roast) or turkey.

My favourite Sunday Dinner is Roast Beef followed by Lamb and Venison!

 

[bopdude]

Normally what ever is on special, if I had to choose though, Leg of Lamb, Beef and Pork, in that order

My opinion changes on this through the year and with my mood. At the moment it's beef. Summer time I prefer chicken and will cut out all the heavy veg and replace with potato wedges and salad (is that still a roast though? The chicken bit is?). Lamb takes a step back around lambing time. I do a lot of fox shooting and feel a bit soft on the lambs for the time I'm out in the field looking after them. Can't bring myself to eat it until the sentimental bit of me has passed which is a little odd really as venison and other game doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Winter food has to be something I can cook on the wood burner. Not that I can't afford the gas, but why pay for it if you don't have to? I can just about do a full 3 pan roast on top of my Clearview 500, and at that point the cooking becomes the most enjoyable part of the whole process. Chicken is a difficult one at that time because it needs the larger pan to cook in. It makes the third pan a little bit of a balancing act!

I love both beef and lamb, but it's not often that we have lamb due to the cost. So it's not a treat for us a couple of times a year. Beef on a Sunday has also started to become rear as the kids are not very keen on it at the moment. So we have been buying mainly chicken for our Sunday roast.

Taste wise I am not so sure but certainly from a satisfaction point of view there is something special about Pigeon or Rabbit served with vegetables that a couple of hours earlier the said Pigeon or Rabbit was trying to eat itself.

i would say wallaby- but the only ones you see around here are in an animal enclosure nearby and i doubt they would allow me to grab one of the critters for eating... over two years since i shot my last one- sigh....

Home raised Norfolk black turkey - none for me this year though as the Stag was a Jaffa 😟

Favourite 'roast' of recent times was venison fillet Wellington.
