Anyone actually cook a Sunday roast anymore? I am today...beef in the oven, but I don't do it every week any more. My mother used to...without fail. Sunday wasn't Sunday without a big roast dinner, veg, gravy and all the trimmings.
I don't I used to when the kids were young and have a family dinner. Now I just eat what I fancy as I live alone. I've not gone completely Veggie but I have gone off meat now.
@Cutiepi23 now my kids are older I don't do it so often. Its a nice think to do tho when the family are all together. I wouldnt bother just for myself either x
My mother did the exact same thing. Well alternate weeks where Italian so used to have some fancy pasta dish as well. Hence why I hate roasts and I hate a lot of pasta dishes
@SW-User because we've got to eat? And I've got to cook something? It takes a little longer in the oven...and prep takes a little longer than opening burger and chips from the freezer! When you work....its the one day I have time to make the effort. ...and it's nice to sit down together to eat it!

@RubySoo plenty of nice things that don't take all that time, then you can spend it with your family rather than in the kitchen sweating.
It doesn't take any longer than a casserole or a fry up or steak....only that the meat takes longer to cook......and I don't stand in the kitchen for 2 hrs staring at the oven!
