Now that I've got your juices flowing

sorry about that

From the lens British Roast Beef Dinner.

There are so many traditional foods to try when it comes to British cooking. The traditional Sunday roast - I feel almost that I should capitalize all that The Traditional British Sunday Roast - is one of the first large meals I learned to cook. Let me know what you think of this, and let me know as well if there are any other traditional British dishes you would like to know how to make.

    It's not Sunday without a roast dinner. I live in the US now but I still make sure to keep this tradition alive in my household.

    The brits deserve credit for yorkshire puddin' at least - if not much else.

    A lot of the traditional foods in Newfoundland came from our British ancestors. I love Yorkshire pudding with roast beef

    Growing up in New Zealand, we used to have a traditional Sunday roast based on the British roast, but with local vegetables - kumara (sweet potato) and yams. I'm getting hungry.
  • CliveAnderson Jan 25, 2011 @ 6:21 am | delete
    I simply love my sunday roast dinners, but in this day and age it all seems to have become a health issue with all the lovely roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding and cualiflower cheese. Even reading your lens had my mouth watering so thank you for that... Great lens, thank you.
    Warm Regards,
    Clive
  • NanLT Jan 25, 2011 @ 6:43 am | delete
    I can't think of a way to justify Yorkshire pudding being healthy (grin) but --
    roasted potatoes or other root vegetables - toss them in olive oil, sprinkle with some fresh thyme or rosemary (I'll just lay a sprig or two of rosemary on top frankly) and roast them that way - they'll be lower in fat that making a mash or a loaded jacket potato with butter and sour cream. And they taste delicious.

    Beef - most of the fat will cook out as it is roasting. You can invest in a roasting tray with a rack to hold the meat up out of the fat if it is a concern. Personally, I don't believe that red meat is unhealthy.

    Remember - all things in moderation, including moderation.

    I'm a Brit and I was raised on roast beef, yorkshires and two veg - delighted to find a lens which celebrates my favourite sunday meal! I often have broad beans and mushrooms as my two veg, though my dear old gran would never have approved (peas and carrots with beef, mushrooms only with chicken or bacon). I like to add steamed or fried onions to my gravy, too, for that extra tang. I think you should share the great British jam roly poly with the world as well!

    I love roasted meat. Tandoori Chicken is my favorite dish. I eat beef though I am a Hindu. Enjoyed it a lot in S Korea. Thanx for the delicious looking recipe.

    I am cooking my roast now and came on here to get some tips, you make it sound wonderful, can't wait! Meat and veg from the farmshop, I find it cheaper in the long run, my bills are lower than my friends who go to the supermarket! I love the taste of it, far superior! Wonderful lens, just making the yorkshires now using your method, wish me luck :)

    I have to tell you that my mouth is so watering right now and I can almost smell this wonderful meal! Great suggestions and directions to a perfect meal. Yorkshire Pudding must be similar to what we call popovers in the states.

  • Grawr Jun 22, 2010 @ 2:47 am | delete
    A tip for roasting your meat, If you have the time try slow cooking it. Usually when we cook a roast we tend to prepare the meat and then slow roast it in the oven for about 4-5 hours.
  • NanLT Jun 22, 2010 @ 10:16 am | delete
    My dream kitchen, if we were ever to win the Euro Millions and I could afford a house with a big enough kitchen to make my dream kitchen, would have an Aga which would be absolutely perfect for slow-cooking meats.

    My mother-in-law used to make Yorkshire pudding and I loved it. I cook a pot roast that's really wonderful, but I need to try your Yorkshire pudding recipe with it.

    Hi Nan ~ I never knew what Yorkshire Pudding was - I will have to try it one time. Might I suggest rubbing the roast with some Nature's Seasonings and some Worchester sauce sprinkled on - a really nice taste.

    Even a beginer could follow your instructions. Very good and well written.
