Sunday roast

Is there an equivalent to a Sunday roast in the US? Excluding Thanksgiving/holidays? Is there a meal that would be a traditional American thing to have on a Sunday, or would it vary across the country?

Used to be a homemade fried chicken dinner where I lived. But even then we would have something else once in a while.

@luctoretemergo None, just having a cup of tea. It's Sunday evening here and also I am much much too full for anything that would make me bloated 😂

@annamk very sensible
I’m having a g&t in your honor 😊

@annamk Ohh wow roast beef and Yorkshires followed by a Victoria sandwich, just perfect
Varies by location and family. In the south east a fried chicken dinner isn't uncommon

@Callmewhatyouwill Thank you. Yeah, you're the 3rd person to say that. I had never heard of it before.
@annamk it's pretty good if done right
I see roast beef, potatoes, peas, and corn. What's the other stuff?
@annamk I need to meet your flatmate.

@quitwhendone Right? She's amazing. I gained 13lbs since we lived together
@annamk If she cooks like that all the time, I want to ask her out.
I had a Sunday roast today. With Rice-o-Roni and mixed veggies.

The plate is a bit over-crowded and poorly arranged. Presentation: C-

@annamk Well that's a lot of Sundays and you are not going to be able to get by on just passing presentation grades for the entire year. I suggest you take this a little bit more seriously, my dear.

@MarkPaul lol, well luckily I don't eat like that every Sunday. I feel like I won't eat again until Tuesday tbh
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@annamk Oh, I see. Perhaps you can place everything on a cutting board then. That can create a very attractive presentation.

We would have a Sunday roast when I was growing up. Mom would cook a roast beef or chicken with all the trimmings. We don't do that any more.

America tends to stick to the four basic food groups: McDonalds, Wendy’s, Burger King and Taco Bell.
I think it would vary. Where i went to school, they would do fried chicken every sunday.

Sunday chicken used to be a thing. Baked fried or broiled.

I don't like what i see
It tends to be an individual thing, but many families have Sunday dinner together, with roast or fried chicken. My family did when I was growing up, usually a few hours after returning from Sunday mass. It was the one day of the week everyone’s schedule fit. We still occasionally get together, but my middle sister and I will cook so Mom and Dad don’t feel they have to.
