Rate My Dinner

[david3103]

How is nobody criticising this create your own Sunday dinner bs, just plate the bugger up and serve it how each person likes, hardly that tough unless your serving 10 people, hate that.

Are you six years old? Does Mum still cut the meat up for you too?

There is nothing worse than having somebody else decide how much of each of the constituent parts of a roast dinner I want.
Also, the potential for topping up is removed from you by the unilateral decision of the server upper.

Leeks. -.5

No peas. -.1

No cabbage - .5

No mash -1

No gravy boat. - .1

No apple sauce or condiments -.5

No beverages. - .5

All looks a bit like a water colour painting, all pastel shades. -.5

Poncy description of process. -.5

Abbreviating Yorkshire pudding to YP. -.5

Yorkshire pudding does look excellent though +1

Total 4.5/10

Great effort. Could have been so much better.

Given that my initial aim was to demonstrate the correct way to cook a Yorkshire Pudding I'm more than happy with the scores. But your maths is appalling, I make it a 6.8.

Amazing that wiki says Sunday Roast with mash are rare.

I don't think I know a single person in the North East who doesn't have roasties and mash. Proper dinner like.

Dave. I am crap at maths but your deductions total 6.5 with a bonus of 1 which reduces them to 5.5.

5.5 from 10 = 4.5/10.

Red, why does a roast have to have peas, cabbage and mash?

Nonsense imo.

Because they add to the experience. go to any decent carvery and there will always be creamed mash, peas, (Mushy if you're lucky) and either cabbage, broccoli or both.

A roast needs cabbage and peas for colour and contrast, and a bit of mash is great for mopping up the last of the gravy.

Adding to the experience can be an unreasonable amount of things to serve up for a roast. I wouldn't want to put up my pics if the roast had to contain 7434753 things that imo aren't mandatory. Of course a carvery is going to have several options.

People needing to post pictures with the peas, cabbage, mash, broccoli etc is too much.

This is the description of a Sunday Roast as per wikipedia:

The Sunday roast is a traditional British and Irish main meal that is traditionally served on Sundays but can be eaten on any day of the week, consisting of roasted meat, roast potato or (very rarely) mashed potato, with accompaniments such as Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, vegetables and gravy.

We should judge them as such. Docking marks for not specifically having peas or cabbage is not something I expect from an international playboy.

Good points well made. Bollocks, but good points well made.

You are of course free to mark these roasts as you see fit. Meanwhile, I will continue to mark them properly.

Beef is generally preferred by common people - Northerners for example.

The more discerning amongst us prefer.....

Lamb

Pork

Turkey

Chicken

I had a piece of beef in the fridge yesterday, when it came to cook Sunday dinner I didn't dare after what happened last week so we had beans on toast.

Damn straight.

I wonder who first created the North/South divide?

I always laugh when Northerners say Southerners look down their noses at them. Very much a two way street.

Totally disagree.

Beef eaten in this house most Sundays.

Was going to have a stab at making an entry this weekend, but when I showed Mrs Adz the shopping list that would appease Dog, she pointed out there were only two of us and we are going abroad in a weeks time, so wouldn't have a chance to finish the left overs....
