Roast beef/lamb
While we were in England, my sister said she was going to make a roast beef dinner with Yorkshire puddings for dinner. Two interesting things came to mind. Firstly, when she was putting the Yorkshires in at 11.45am and second, when my granddaughter said she had never had roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. She did eat it and said she liked the Yorkshire pudding.
I am wondering how many Brits and expats still have a traditional roast dinner and do they have it at lunch time or at what I call dinner time (supper time). We seldom have a roast. And if we do have one, we always have it around 6 pm. We hardly ever bother about a meal at lunch time.

I don't think most Canadian's have many roast dinners simply because they're version of a roast dinner (or should I say Turkey dinner) isn't very exciting. Even for Christmas dinner my friends and colleauges would have mash, mashed sweet potatoe, turkey, gravy and veg. Nothing like bread sauce, pigs in blankets, roast parsnips and potatoes etc.

Re: Roast beef/lamb
Breakfast (morning)
Dinner (midday)
Tea (early evening)
Supper (just before bed)
That's how it's done in Yorkshire (unless you're posh) and if it's good enough for us it's good enough for the rest of you all

Re: Roast beef/lamb
I do a roast most Sundays - chicken, duck and pork etc too. My yorkshires are world class, even if I do say so myself............
We usually eat with kids about 5/6pm, if we have it at lunchtime I find the whole day goes as I'm preparing in the morning and then can't be bothered to move in the afternoon! Only time we have a roast at lunchtime is if we have guests.
I will carry on when in Canada, hubby would probably walk out if I didn't do roast chicken & bread sauce or roast beef & yorkshires!

Re: Roast beef/lamb
Ooooh no, all wrong!! This is how it should be..............
Breakfast (morning)
Lunch (midday)
Tea (afternoon with sandwiches, cakes, etc)
Supper or dinner (evening meal - can be either depending on what time, how many courses, how casual etc).
Dinner at lunchtime

I DO like the idea of cakes for "dinner" though
One thing i do laugh at is the often confused look of friends and colleagues when they first hear me saying "I'm going home for tea" and think i'm going to have a cuppa.

Re: Roast beef/lamb
I ticked yes for supper but have to point out that we eat lamb once in a blue moon. Not because we don't like it, but rather, that compared with beef it is difficult to find and very expensive, at least in this part of the world.

Re: Roast beef/lamb
Does a Quorn roast count?
Actually even when I did eat meat I never had Roast Beef and Yorkshire pudding. When I was a kid I just remember my mum had a 101 ways to cook mince meat

Re: Roast beef/lamb
I cook a roast when that's what we feel like having - it maybe anyday of the week. My husband says I get really stressed doing a roast, but I don't. I may get annoyed that I have to set the table, carve the meat, make the gravy, rescue the yorkshires, serve it up and place it all on the table before it gets cold and then wait for peeps to join me:curse: Doing the actual roast is the easy part
