I wouldn't be surprised!

One thing I have never understood about BE; the obsession with Bisto chemical 'gravy'.

I use it as a replacement for creosote when I'm painting my fence.

You know what, sometimes I wonder why some of us bother.
It was a fun thread. Most fantastic roast dinner I've had in ages cos I can't cook to save my life as my ex will tell you. there was no HP sauce on it, I wouldn't do that to a roast. Yes I did pile the mint sauce on cos I like it. I don't give a shite if you lot think it was only fit for chavs or peasants, I enjoyed it, freshly cooked veg and all, and yes, I watched it cooked in front of me.

Stop it you're making me hungry bet it was better than the inflight meal you'll get if they ever sort a plane out to bring you back...;)

Bit heavy on the mint sauce for me but looks damn tasty.

Had swordfish with a potato bake for tea... not much swordfish knocking about in the UK. :)

Well good for you mate! But the good news is that if you can't cook yourself - then someone will do it for you here.

Many pubs will do a carvery of a weeknight and on Sundays - and they look just as well cooked as the one on display there. It's also called a baked dinner when done at home here, rather than a roast dinner.

I reckon the best ones are those done at home anyhow - I'd rather have a Parmy in a pub here:)

Yum I think the condiments are the best bit of any roast!! In order of preference mint sauce, horseradish, apple sauce, cranberry and mustard and would happily have them all on one plate. I find mint sauce very troublesome in the teeth department though.....best not to smile for a while!
