Roast spuds look bloody amazing.

Yorkshire puds good too.

However, not enough gravy and no green veg.

8/10

Slightly overdone :( I used too much charcoal. Still tasted gorgeous though :)

Gravy should definitely be covering the Yorkies at least.  Can't recognise the meat on my phone.  Can't be good.  With Camel, definitely need greens.  Roast potatoes a positive.  Hoping my carrots look better.  Just making a roast. 6.5/10

Hard crowd. Beef is Silverside, Mrs Eck likes her roast well cooked so expected abuse on the overdone meat however once it has rested it is sliced and placed in the gravy to simmer for a while so it nearly falls apart. Agree more gravy needed and was added post picture along with mustard.

Bob those look amazing apart from it looks like you cut the pitta bread with a hammer.

I really want you to post your sunday roast now, 6.5 for that effort is a ridic score.

Disagree with gravy over the Yorkshires.  Leave them be imo.
Looks good, more greenery agreed. 8/10

I wasn't going too dock you a point for missing gravy on the spuds but missing on the Yorkies as well is a cumulative -1. The yorkies look sad that they don't have gravy.

Potatoes and carrots look excellent and greens are not needed at all. What nonsense.

-0.5 for Mrs Eck liking her meat well done. Please discipline your wife.

8.5/10. Not expecting to see many better blonde roasts, apart from on some mucky site that amatay recommended.

I'm sorry to say that Eck's is an excellent effort. Would rather rip into it!

-1 would like more gravy

-1 something green would be nice

8/10

bobalike....

-1 for weeds in the nice looking planters up the steps. Standards in telford are clearly slipping

-1 for haphazard cutting of pitta bread

+1 for sheer effort, attention to detail and number of photos in the reportage

9/10.

Ha yeah Cos, had to reword the post a couple of times as trying to avoid saying how she likes her meat  ::)

thankfully I pulled you up in a nicer way than Bam would have :)

Good effort.

Half a point deducted for each of the following;

Carrots. No carrots please.

Uneven distribution of gravy.

Not enough roast potatoes.

Plate is dull, & way too small, invites spillage.

No cutlery, we use knives & forks down here.

No napkin.

Presence of Tomato Ketchup.

Absence of Mint Sauce.  


Points added (half a point each)

Excellent meat.

Reasonable yorkies.

7/10

Bobalike's effort:

Pittes look like proper floury textured ones. Ones that you buy from a Greek bakery and not Supermarket ones. +1

They look cut just fine but -0.5 for posting on a forum a greek meal for a bunch of foreigner baked bean eaters to judge a proper kebab :)

-1 for the slight burnage. Would have liked to see the meat raised a bit higher over the coals.

-0.5 for the lack of accompaniments. No dips? No halloumi? No bourkouri/klitharaki?

When I bink the main I will be round to drop off the readies and try the next effort :)

BobAlike.

It's best I don't mark that.

Mint sauce!?!? That's beef not lamb.

-1 to your character for not liking roast carrots.

Looks tasty but I'll hold off on scoring until I've seen the rest of it.

Oh by the way. Why is there ketchup in the background?

Mint Sauce is suitable for ALL meat.

When feeling a little flamboyant, I also add it to fish.

lol, I was that hungry by the time it was ready I just grabbed the closest knife to me and butchered away. Cheers

Agree with the first point. I go for a carvery most Thursday's with my mum and they often have mint gravy which is absolutely amazing!!!

Mint gravy and cranberry sauce are fantastic with beef and turkey.

Will have a word with 'er in doors about the weeds. Telford! I don't think you could have offended me more!

Agreed about pitta bread. Was just too much in a rush to eat it

Thanks

Mint Gravy is the nuts, & so easy to make.

Cheers Cos. It was more a case of putting too much charcoal in. Only had this bbq for a couple of weeks.

All the extras were on the table, Tzatziki, tara, houmous, bourkouri and loukanika.

Your welcome anytime bud.

;)

This looks like an excellent dinner that I would be happy to eat. That being said, there is acres of room for improvement, some of the scores being bandied about on here are laughable, especially Tighty's 9/10. he must be a very inexperienced eater.


Now for some realistic marking.

First, the good.

Meat looks ok, reasonable portion size ect. + .5

Roasties look decent but nothing special.

Carrots look really good. +1

Now the bad.

Yorkies-  Dry and brittle looking. one bite and they shatter into sawdust. even if you add gravy it wont help. - 1.5

Meat overdone but it's difficult to tell because of the overly dark gravy. (Too much browning imo) - .5

Too little gravy, no gravy boat for topping up. - 1

No peas.  (FWIW Sunday dinner peas should be the kind that you soak overnight with a soda tablet, but no peas at all is unforgivable) - 1

No cabbage. (dark green cabbage with bacon fat could be worth a whole extra point)  - .5

No cauliflower  (Cauliflower with cheese could be worth a whole nother extra point)  - .5

No mashed potato. - 1

No cranberry or apple sauce. -.5

No bonus veg like sprouts or roast parsnips - .5

Small, slightly boring plate. - .5

Small overall portion size. - 1

No beverage of any description. - .5.

No cutlery. - .5

Assuming a starting point of 10 that leaves us with a grand total of  2.5/10.

I sincerely hope the standard improves from here on in.




 

 

Used to like this guy ^^^

Can assure you two things.

The roasters are special (triple cooked).

The Yorkies are nowhere near brittle, if you can get home made yorkies to be as brittle as you describe I have no idea what you are doing to them.

I am now dying to see your and Doobs' efforts. I expect his to be of restaurant quality and yours to be served in a trough..

The little mans Sunday Dinner

(http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff452/Sofairy7/20150510_1938151.jpg)

First thing first, did you make this Stu?

How dare you!!

Of course I did.

OK, come back when you have actually made something 75% of that meal was made by Aunt Bessie by the looks of it...

I'd have rather had George's dinner!

No mashed potato, mint sauce, parsnips, not enough gravy.

Pretty solid mate, could do with some other veg like cauliflower and peas otherwise no complaints 8/10

Depends if this is a rate my Sunday dinner or just rate my dinner. 0/10 for the former as it's not a roast, 7/10 if the latter  :)

Sorry don't believe you made that 0/10 for lying  :D

Touchy chef - .5

I presume the pre production(ingredients plated up up etc) was for the cameras? Don't think anyone in the real world cooks as tidily as that do they?

Looked very good though sir!

That may count as a Sunday dinner wherever it is you foreigners come from Mr bobblehat, but it doesn't cut any ice over here.

0/10.

;grr; ;grr; :D

No peas - .5

No cabbage - .5

No mashed potato -1

Anemic looking meat that isn't beef or lamb -1

Solitary shop bought Yorkshire that's smaller than a zit I squeezed this morning - 1.5

No gravy boat - .5

No apple or cranberry - .5

No cutlery -.5

No beverage - .5

Small portion - 1

Plate upside down - 1

Bits of stray meat floating about in first pic - .5

Meal served in confusing abstract Ikea like setting - .5

Total - .5/10

People have mashed potato with a roast??

Big fan of the gravy boat though  :)up

you mean there are heathens that don't? :D

Surely Sunday Dinner is a roast dinner - hence roast potatoes with it; or would you advocate roast potatoes as well as mashed?

Of course.

I don't think I'd want that much potato - but I definitely approve of the concept  :)up

surely it's the meat that's roasted? although clearly have both.... :D

I normally have both roasties and mash

Having managed to score -0.5 for my efforts compared to someone who only cooked half a roast dinner and someone who thought they could get away with a kebab for Sunday dinner I feel that I best try harder next week.

 :'(

A nice scoop of creamy mash is great for soaking up those last dregs of gravy with the meat bits floating in it.

You roast the potatoes in the same tin as the meat to improve the flavour

In fairness to Eck though, he did actually cook his.

In fact I will take his Yorkshire pudding argument on board and increase his score to 4/10

I cooked mine!

I will try to make my own Yorkshire's next week as I admit this was prepared by the Aunty.

Any other tips to get me into positive figures?

Use beef or lamb, add peas, mash etc, present better, include sundries like cutlery drinks and sauces.

Use one of those big oval plates so that the food can be separated properly.

Quality thread, hope to see more examples.

Would be interested to see how a Wetherspoons £7 with a drink roast dinner would be scored.  Always think they are cracking value.

Reasonable. Has most of the ingredients. (mash and cauliflower cheese usually available but not shown here) Pretty lackluster though. 4.5/10



(http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/03/f6/34/95/wetherspoon-s.jpg)

Don't listen to them Eck, your dinner is fine.

I'd happily come round and taste test, if invited.

The meat looks like you will be chewing it for about a week.

Carrots woeful.

And what it is with people who are taking points off for no sauce?

The only sauce you need with a roast meal is gravy!

Mint sauce? Apple sauce? No thanks. Detracts massively from the taste of the meat.

Recommended by Celtic - 1.5

You don't have to use the sauces, but they should be available, they're no good in the cupboard. Think of your poor Mrs. It's her who has to leave her dinner when you make her go and fetch it.

Here's a £7.50 one from fat cat in Nottingham. Tasted pretty decent, huge Yorkshire pudding, only minus in real life was it looked like it has just been chucked on a plate, oh and they did put stuffing on the plate with beef lol. But in real life it scored a solid 8/10. Really could not fault it for £7.50  :)

8/10 for mass produced swill? No wonder the country's going to Hell in a handcart.

DISQUALIFIED - the meat needs to be cooked, not raw.

Where's Spacefrog when you need him?

The more I think about Bopkin's effort, the more I think he is the new Amatay.

90% sure it was one of these.



(http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/12/21/article-0-1A3B1A6D00000578-64_634x528.jpg)

I'm going to get a picture of my carvery on Thursday for you Tom. For £6 it's absolutely amazing!!

I'd be happy to attempt to make a Sunday roast for Ronnie and I but after the expense of my cooked breakfast I think I'll have to save up for a few weeks first.

Cooking fresh is just insanely expensive and really not that much better than the mass produced swill you refer to.

I think it's important to state at this juncture that Tom is not the Emperor of food and therefore his scores should be taken with a pinch of salt.

(See what I did there......)

If you are cooking for 4+ people it's probs cheaper but deffo true for 1 or 2 people. Can't ever imagine cooking a roast for 1 mind you, way too much hassle!  ;D

Tom is a fusspot

chronic undermarking.

Laughed hard at this

What's with the individual Yorkshire Pudding? Individual YPs are the preserve of the mass caterer and have pretty much zero flavour.

Ours is cooked in the pan with the joint of meat and thus has beautifully flavoursome fatty crispy bits on the bottom.

At what point do you put your YP's into the pan (assuming you mean in the oven?)

The meat should be out for about an hour to rest before carving and you obviously can't pour batter in alongside a roast so how does that work?

Curly fries with your Sunday lunch?

You getting keep going up my list of fav Blondes Woodsey!

Woah there Woodsey!!!! What the f**k with the curly fries in the background? Also if I'm not mistaken one of them is green!!!!

Try the Priory for a carvery some time. Think you'll be impressed.

The batter goes into the pan around the roast about 40 mins before serving. Meat needs 10-20 minutes rest, unless your is particularly lazy? By the time the meat comes out the Yorkshire is set enough to not flood into the gap.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Lol if you believe that.

Are we restricting this to Sunday roasts or are other meals valid?

Will do my best next weekend or the next time we have a Sunday roast.

Sunday roasts only please. We can't compare spag bol v chicken broth v fish and chips v lasagna v roast. We'll be all over the place.

Thread title change required

stru tho init?

That looks bloody awful. Piss poor gravy and cremated pud.

If you buy it from the right place it's really nice. Admittedly that crap that Woodsey had looked awful but there's plenty of restaurants that will mass produce a Sunday roast that will be better than 95% of the home made meals you'll see on here.

Obviously home made will always be better (if it's cooked by someone who knows what they're doing) but it won't be that much better than you could buy for £10.

That being said the love that goes in to one of my Mum's Sunday roasts will make it better than any meal you could buy anywhere ever no matter how much it costs or who makes it. That's the real difference with a proper Sunday roast, it's not about how it tastes or how it looks but who made it and why they made it that really matters.

Have to agree with all that.

Roast dinner is too much for your average amateur without a family to feed so am going off piste.

(http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab297/mporter123/IMG_0238_zpsfl8wfyov.jpg) (http://s873.photobucket.com/user/mporter123/media/IMG_0238_zpsfl8wfyov.jpg.html)

This actually tasted better than it looked and fish was a genuine over the counter jobby.

Almost impossible to be otherwise,

Is that the starter?

Did you find it on the pavement outside a nightclub?

Oh now come on!! I was trying for something different other than the usual cod.

It was one of those where you have to rip the skin off. I think a lot of the fish may have ended up smeared across the sideboard. Unsure on how to approach the head either.

Admittedly the rest is awful and yes, was not filling at all.

red you are funny!! lolz

Lol well spotted, they weren't mine but I did nick a few  ;D

When I buy fish I usually make sure there is some fish on my fish

Fish? I thought it was a centipede.

That cauliflower looks a bit off

I thought it was a Bushtucker Trial :)

This thread is outstanding as ever Tom is running the show.

I will post one soon.

What do people think about the roast being served in a giant (homemade obv) Yorkshire pudding?

Go for it. M+S do a great Yorkshire pud filled with beef, spuds, veg, gravy etc

Fantastic camera work all things considered. Hope you're feeling better now.

Think it's Waitrose that do something similar, but with Chicken.

Sigh....

Wrong on so many levels that I wonder if we're being levellef

Not typical meat I'd have on a sunday dinner but had some mince so whatever

(http://i.imgur.com/BTRsL2L.jpg)

We have a new Amatay!  rotflmfao

Nothing wrong with Mince & Onions, with roasties, ex!

The old dear sometimes does that if she's working late of a weeknight.

Even the old man can sort that out, without either of us being off work with food poisoning ;D

Onions?
oh no no no, no onions

Where is your tackle box?  Just out of shot?  With the greatest of respect it looks rancid.

Yeah, first impression was worms on a plate.

An intimidatingly full plate, it all just looks a bit too moist. Feel sorry for the peas.

Difficult to get right but mint sauce(?) poorly distributed. Impossible to eat with any sort of dignity. Not even bothering with a knife?

-.5 for no visible steam. Looks edible though.

haha

knife to the left, can just see a bit of it!

Think it's bacteria on a Petri dish.

haha excellent teeks.

everyone so jealous :D

Even I wouldn't eat that.

Call.

Lying bastard!  Make it for him at the blonde bash and don't let him eat for 6 hours.  1.01 he eats it!

How does mince look when you lot have cooked it and put gravy on it?!

Stick some onions and/or carrots in it.

My Scottish grans mince neeps and tatties doesn't look anything like that.  You need to go to Scotland get some lessons about serving the great dish.

One good thing about it, it drew some flack away from fish boy.

Dont argue with Tom about the Dinner.





YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dapfW9AkfsQ

This thread should really liven up at about 5pm this coming Sunday, maybe Tom should judge and a small prize awarded :)

You clearly have no idea how this works.

No-one gets prizes in fact I am amazed anyone ever gets any praise tbh and forget Tom as some kind of guru just because he is the hungriest on here doesn't make his opinion any more valid. Read the fry up thread that should give you a good feel for the level of feedback required... :D

That I clearly won . . . maybe I should be entering this arena this coming weekend, better get my sprouts on now.

Still deluded

REMINDER

Get those photos up today.

Cant Wait till later Today!!!

This meal  is "stu n dump linz".

well, today can only get better

worst entry on this thread by miles

will the veg be in speedos or beach shorts? looks like they are going for a swim

1/10 for being able to take a photograph

can barely look

Shame you didnt taste it but then again with taste as you do, do you like anything....

Well the bar has been set for today - can anyone beat that to be this week's Champ?

Might be the only entry, & win by default.

Well you got the dump part right.

Looks like a could of smoke is about to engulf your dinner..... Thankfully

Last week's dinner.

Notes I was making it when last week's thread was started, so wasn't making it for the thread.  With better planning I'd have put a few parsnips in and maybe another green veg.  The presentation was a bit lacking on the plate, as I had been through the round of "I don't want cabbage", "I don't want chicken", "I want a leg", "I just want gravy on my yorkshire pudding", and that was just the missus, the kids were worse.  After all that I forgot I was planning to take a photo, and just threw it on the plate.

I take it someone has hacked your account.

Doobs, looks way too healthy for a proper Sunday roast. I hope the spoon stands up in the gravy.

Agree, suspect boiled cabbage wtf?! Also Yorkshires with chicken??? Sacrilege!!!

5/10

Given I was born in Yorkshire, I have a pretty good idea what you can serve Yorkshires with.  The answer is, of course, everything.  If I wanted to know what I can serve jellied eels with, I'd consult.

Yes, Sunday cabbage should either be sauteed in pan with butter and smoked bacon like curly kale or with bacon fat. Simple.

Yorkshires do come with every roast in ourhome too with exception of roast ham.

I'm the judge here not you, -1 for insolence!! 4/10

To be fair, we used to always have them on their own as a starter.  They were there, whatever we had for Sunday dinner, but fair to say we didn't eat much pasta or curry.

Yorkshire puds defo best as a starter. My grandma wouldn't have it any other way

Doobs:

Making excuses in your initial post -1. Responding to Woodsey in that tone over fairly valid point -0.5. Going to add half a point back as the Yorkies do look good and you are staying true to your roots. +0.5.

Mugs on the table -0.5.

Chicken looks poorly and slightly underdone imo. -1.

Not all plates the same and chicken served on plate rather than nice oven dish. -1.

Gravy looks like it has the consistency of a cup of tea and the flavour of one. -1.

Carrots and potatoes look fine but should be separated, not mixed imo. -0.5.

That plate of greens. lol. -0.5

4.5/10.

Bit of Pork for teatime..

Jeez your meals look absolutely appalling.

Is that the pork rind on the stuffing or a slug trying not to drown in the water.  Conclusion... Too much poker not enough real life experiences.

Where is the gravy, where are the roast potatoes, where is the apple sauce? What the hell were you thinking? 4/10

Also bobalike..Where's the love.

Do you work in a Hospital kitchen?

Always had streamed scraped new potatoes with pork and "cracklin". Gravy was getting hammered by the vultures and apple sauce was a no go as id put grated apple in the stuffing.

No. What a strange question!

But while were on the subjuect of silly questions. Why on earth did you put big in front of your forum name is representive of something like a big head or something?

A lovely bit of pork, ready to be the centre of our Sunday Lunch.

Massaged with oil and sprinkled with sea salt.

Start the roasting process hot to set it up for crispy crackling, let it roast a while on a lower heat before going back up to max ready to add the YP batter

Try it my way and see if you ever want individual Yorkeies again.

I'd choose individual and unburnt yorkshires.
Don't like cremated roast potatoes either.

That looks the absolute bollocks!

Pork looks great Dave. Yorkshireman great too. Veg on the other hand looks terrible and why on earth have you got Dung Beatles as a centre piece?

7/10

That yorkshire looks awesome.

Bloody autocorrect. 😀

After last weeks fishy fiasco, gone back to basics.

No meat was massaged in the making of this dinner.

(http://i873.photobucket.com/albums/ab297/mporter123/IMG_2097_zpsuoifhhnl.jpg) (http://s873.photobucket.com/user/mporter123/media/IMG_2097_zpsuoifhhnl.jpg.html)

Have you got shares in Iceland.

Where is the meat?

Dungbeetles curried my interest, are they crunchy?

That looks good David 7.5/10.

Oh dear young man. You really are gonna have to toughen up if you're going to get along here.

A little joke about your dinner looking like hospital food and you get all nasty.

Thank you Ralph.

The Dung beetles are roasted onion. Crisp skin on the outside, which Mrs 3103 likes, and sweet gooey centre.

Some interesting efforts this week.

Marking to follow when visitors leave.

David:

Roast pork would be my least favourite meat to have a roast with but my preference is irrelevant. Certainly not docking marks for that.

Meat looks well cooked. +0.5.

I like the concept of the giant yorkie but execution isn't great. -1.

Veggies look steamed?! -1

cut up into baby sized pieces -0.5

Potatoes look good but a few are a little burnt. -0.5

Gravy doesn't look particularly impressive  -1.

6.5/10.

I'm gonna hold off scoring until you can confirm whether that thing towards the top right of the plate is a meat or a mini baguette?

At the risk of being criticsed for overmarking, i am a big fan

8/10

extra point given for presence of leeks, a much under-rated sunday accompaniment

question before i mark

why are the tines on the fork at such an acute angle? amateur uri geller wannabe?

no spillage worries from nearby presence of laptop?

the mini baguette, to use cos's excellent description is chicken?

car keys nearby. were you in a hurry?

my word

are they, shudder, daren't really ask but i will...are they tinned peas?

i feel a ban coming on

OBJECTION

Tinned peas are perfectly acceptable, as long as they are marrowfat peas.

I wondered last week wtf David meant when he described how to do Yorkshire Pudding. Now I have seen got to admit it looks good. :)

dear man from Hygena kitchens

would have liked to have seen the skin on the chicken crispier. cabbage looks wan.

lovely looking yorkies (and yorkies are mandatory with any sunday dinner imo) and roasts

extremely solid effort, but disqualified because no parents with young childen should have a kitchen exemplar.
 

There is no other acceptable way to make Yorkshire pudding.

Those poncy little things are only for those with no taste.

Objection denied Mr Pineapple chunks for breakfast.

tinned peas are an affront to all we hold to be good and true

As Mark say looks the Bollocks !  just missing some apple sauce  ?

Yorkshire Pudding looks awesome !

For the sake of clarity, and to defend myself on the question of whether any of today's dinner was burnt,

the potatoes are caramelised

Four of us ate very last one.

Four of you?

We may have to re-assess, it was assumed that was a portion for one.

This was Roxannes lunch today, admittedly we ate out and it's not a roast so doesn't count, but I liked the look of it so I thought I would post anyway 😉

lobster. yummm.

why are the new potatoes covered in tanning oil?

where are the yorkshire puddings?

Lovely 🐷😄👍

It is a chicken breast. Seasoned, perhaps a little over cooked but by no means bland or dry. Looks ugly as it has been gouged to check it was cooked.

The carrots really were a lovely little touch as well. Fresh from the bag, not frozen.

Cutlery is very cheap. Would have got the best china out if I owned any. Laptop is always close at hand - recent searches include 'can you roast carrots' and 'how to make a yorkshire pudding' (looked too complex).

Some brilliant efforts on here today.

I grew up in Northampton and we always had Yorkshire Pudding (cooked round the meat) as a starter.
Funnily enough we were discussing this at the lunch table today and agreed that we knew nobody else who had done that. It's reassuring to discover I'm not alone.

No tinned peas ....

Would dock points for twee compartmentalised dish, definitely take another point for serving profiteroles with the main

Chicken on a Sunday dinner, can't really get enthusiastic about it, especially when it's lying there on it's own. It looks like Judith Chalmers sunbathing nude on a deserted beach at Cleethorpes.  If you are going to display your meat pre, at least leave it in the roasting tin with some potatoes and parsnips. Meh meat -1

Cabbage looks par-boiled, pale and cold. Sould be darker and have a fatty sheen. -1

Roast spuds look small and uncrispy, -.5

Carrots not wrinkly enough, deffo need anothe 15 mins. -.5

Yorkshire puds. look sort of OK but Small ish. Suspect only one each and you borrowed from another plate for main pic -1

No stuffing. -.5

No bonus veg like parsnips, sprouts etc. -.5

I just ate, but after seeing that pork I'm hungry again. Great effort.

Crab= Leicester Lobster?

The pork looks absolutely amazing.

The spuds? Not so much.

I laughed so much at this!  ;stickaforkinme;

I hope she managed to tuck into it before that lobster did.

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

Nonsense imo.

Tom is the Anne Robinson of dinner critics :D

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.

Meh. Can't stand mash.

Yorkshire pud is ideal for mopping up gravy, imo.

I'm harsh but fair. If we start bandying 8/10 scores about now, what will we do when someone puts in a really decent effort?

Ah but you're one of those Southern weirdos. You can't even get decent mash south of Junction 26 of the M1.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Also - Doesn't anyone buy beef any more?

 :hello: ;indestructable; :hello:

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

The more discerning amongst us prefer.....

Lamb

Pork

Turkey

Chicken

This from someone who comes from the land of jellied eels and meat pies with custard on.

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.

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....

See, I'm not really dissing anyone's dinner, I would gladly eat any one them, but were in pursuit of perfection here. that's what 10/10 is.

No one said it was going to be easy.

Those Southern Nancies started it. Us Northern folk get along fine with everyone.

I would never think of sharing my lunch with a crab. Even if it was just buttered Jersey Royals and salad.

Fine, but you are deducting points for the absence of cabbage!

Cabbage. Nobody apart from Le Petomane wants to eat cabbage.

Due to all the wounderfull comments and my high ratings regarding my grub yesterday.

Im doing sausage mash onion gravy later. I will be adding yorkies for the purists.

Before the picture goes up what are people looking for when ordering sausage and mash?

Just don't have the sausages sticking out of the mash.

I don't mind if cabbage is substituted for broccoli, sprouts, cauliflower or something similar.

Piled on the top is ok?  Good gravy.  None of that creamy mash nonsense, fluffy FTW.  You can't taste the mustard from here, so you can just pretend you put it in.

Not sure you need yorkshire puddings, though I expect somebody will probably deduct a few points for missing avacado, rollmop herrings and not frying your mash in a litre of beef dripping. 

No not piled on the top either!  Three good coarse sausages (Cumberland preferably) alongside a modest amount of mash with some nice petit pois and plenty of thick gravy. Yorkshires are optional but I've never refused one yet.

Excuse me? :)

Sausage and Mash should never, ever, and I mean ever, contain anything resembling a vegetable.

Unless it's part of the sausage (eg Pork and Leek Sausages) obv.

4 thin link pork sausages well done and placed on the plate, you don't want to be squashing them into the mash when you cut them.

Serve with plenty of mash, peas and onion gravy.

and please make sure it does not look as if the sausages are out for an afternoon swim in a gravy lido

enough gravy, but don't drown it

Don't forget to include cutlery (the tangs should not be at too acute an angle), & condiments.

Points will be awarded or deducted based on tablecloth, plate (size is key), & presentation.

A mug of tea is optional, as is a copy of a newspaper.

The TV should be OFF. Grown ups should never watch TV whilst eating. (Children should never watch TV ever). Listening to the radio is fine.

This thread only needs one thing now, Red Dog to post his Sunday Roast.

Until then, lock it up

FYP  ;D

The sausages poking out of the Yorkshire pudding should be good for a bonus point or two imo.

I like to make a well in the middle of my mash for the sausages & lots of gravy. This requires losts of mash so the well is deep & wide

3 big fat sausages. The little thin ones are rubbish (sorry red)

Sorry forgot to say yorkies are a must. Perfect is massive one, big enough for a well

I don't recall offering my dinner up for consideration, or suggestion it would be any good.

I bet most film critics can't make films. My field of expertise is eating, not cooking.   :P

Sausage and mash.

Mash is lumpy, the sausages are underdone, there are too many onions, not enough gravy, no peas and the Yorkshires look like a before and after advert for Nivea . 


Not a bad effort though.

2.5/10

Lol

Todays effort

Rest of the pics won't post, don't know how to resize on iPad 😕

Think you might lose points for no cutlery or Yorkie puds :)

Breakfast time dinner?

Thought I'd give you horrible lot a tantalising look at my dinner today,  being as we had my favourite beef ribs.   ;kev;
(http://)
Not a huge lot of effort was put into this meal tbh, I threw the meat in the oven at ten, had to go out till twelve and still managed to be sat down to eating it 1:30.
This shall be my excuse for frozen Yorkshires, but I still did six fresh veg, two roast and mash and some petit pois, also frozen but do they come any other way?
I accept no responsibility for damage caused by drooling onto keyboards.
(http://)

See now this ^ is a catch 22 situation...

But I have to be fair.

I'll be cutting my nose off to spite my face presently. 

Feel free to comment with impunity, it's not like any of your future Sunday dinners depend on it or anything.....

Looks fabulous to me.

9.5/10

Table cutlery laid wrong way. Darren always does it that way and insists it is me that does it wrong. As if. 

Wrong way up or knife edge out?

Fork should be left side saying that I am keggy handed. Them beef ribs look bloody nice.

I'm keggy handed too! (That does mean left handed, right? )

OK, 2nd attempt to post pics of todays lunch

All lovingly prepared on our lovely mini oven

Why are you roasting that toy horse?

That is an excellent cauli broccoli cheese by the way.

Roxanne likes to eat roast horse (amongst other strange foods) 😉

Thank you for the compliment.

Taxi, those are the best roasties we've seen so far, I am salivating here.

Sweetcorn ?

Really  ?


* shakes head in disbelief

Was just gonna post the same, nice roasties tho.

Again, Roxanne LOVES sweetcorn, not an excuse just fact!

What has happened to the art of home-made Yorkshire Pudding?

Apart from David 30000000091's oeuvre I've not seen any decent examples.

Belting cauliflour cheese though, by far the best yet.

Agree with many. Having been made to suffer just boiled today, those roasties look magic sir.

You start on page 3 as usual Ralph? Because the perfect Yorkshire Puddings were right there on page one I have been working on them for about 2 years to get the perfect technique.

Taxi -  meat looked lovely the rest really disappointing.  Potatoes looked burnt but prepared to give you the benefit on them but YP's out a bag watery gravy and strange veg don't do it for me. I can only assume Red marked you up as you have got closest to trough sized portions,

Just to clarify, YP 100% homemade but agree definitely not my best effort, must do better.

What?!
How very dare you.

For a start,  you wouldn't know creamed mash if you fell in some, my mother serves her mash in slices.

Leeks are a perfectly good vegetable and do not detract from a dinner in the same way something like, I don't know,  tinned sweetcorn or  luminous mushy peas would,  so I dispute that mark down.

Gravy was excellent,  made from the meat juices to just the right thickness and was in fact on the table but in a pyrex jug rather than a boat so not in the photo.
Mark down invalid.

Cauli and broccoli would indeed, like most foods benefit from a layer of melted cheese but we are trying to keep the saturated fat at a reasonable level.

My dinner is delicious,  it does not need sauces to disguise it's blandness,  that would be like being served fillet mignon by Michael Roux and smothering it in ketchup.

As for the pathetic,  scraping the bottom of the barrel insults about my tableware,  I have you know they are Johnson and Johnson's finest bone china in summer chintz, carboot sale or not!
Anyway it's rate my dinner not rate my place settings so I reckon we are back up to an 8/10

Agree about Yorkshire,  and maybe did nuke the peas for to long.

I love the fact that Redsgirl is here to put Red in his place!

gogogo

Gave you a 9 earlier redsgirl, but was on the other thread.

Think Tom needs to cook the dinner next week so we can see what 10/10 looks like.

Wonderful.......


For a start,  you wouldn't know creamed mash if you fell in some, my mother serves her mash in slices.

correct.

By eck Tom you sired a good one here.

Don't tell them I said so Maureen, but all my girls, including the granddaughters are excellent housekeepers. We never go short of a hot meal, clean clothes, or a warm bed, and if need be, they can (and do) go out to work and earn a living.

They do all this with such consummate ease that it would be easy to take it for granted, but I don't. I'm immensely, immeasurably proud of them. Their husbands, existing and still to come, should thank their lucky stars every day for their good fortune. I know I do.

 

That is so nice Tom.

Or Tom wanting dinner tonight.

I think us girls are the fortunate ones.
If this was rate my dad you definitely be getting 10/10 you old softy xx

Now that looks almost exactly the same as the dinners my mum makes.

Exactly the same veg selection, exactly the same gravy colour/consistency and exactly the same amount of frozen bits to save some time for more important things.

Might not be everyone's idea of perfection but for me it's an 8.5/10

If you put that in front of me I would eat it. All of it. The beef in particular looks really good, how do you cook it? Is it tender?
Overall though, there is too much on the plate to be able to enjoy it fully. Too many vegetable varieties and that single, sad, frozen Yorkshire Pudding popped on the top like an afterthought.
Assuming the beef tastes as good as it looks, and I don't have to tear it from the bone like a dog then that's a very solid 7.

By the way, do you plate up everybody's meal before it gets to the table? I'm really not a fan of that, but I wouldn't knock points off for it. Nor for the absence of horseradish sauce, although that is a glaring omission.

One of the best parts about eating meat IMO.

True, but if I'm eating with my hands and teeth I don't want a plateful of veg with gravy.

Thank you Evilpie, although I'm sure it's not a patch on your mams, theres nothing like going home for your Sunday dinner is there?

The beef ribs are tender and not really difficult to cook David, you just treat them like you would pork, high heat until the fat renders down (they are quite fatty, but you end up with lots of lovely dripping for your roasties ) and then leave them on low for a couple of hours.
Whether you get it on the bone or not depends on how the butcher cuts it, if I can I get it cut across the ribs so you kind of get a thick square of meat attached to a small piece of bone, but in these pics they were the long one so I cut them off before plating up.
The kids usually fight over who gets to gnaw on the leftover bones though, whilst the dog watches longingly through the window. :)

I agree the plate is piled a bit high, my dinner plates are a bit smaller than average and combined with a general lack of portion control on Sundays it is kind of crowded.
I plate everyones unless they ask different, which is rare as they are sat probably three feet from the cooker so can just give instructions, and I never really did see the point of serving dishes anyway, just more washing up i.m.o.

Tasty chicken Laksa

Other than that it looks pretty damn decent.

I'll leave the marking to Tom...

Alligator foot & mash, my favourite :D

I lolled.

Fair play to you Dan, at least you were as kind as you could have been.

I can't decide which piece of this upsets me the most. Those few pitiful looking vegetables, particularly the carrots; the fact that it's all crammed onto one piece of the plate; or, and I think this is it, the fact that it all looks like it spent a lot of it's life in a freezer.

Well we did ask people to try & help rev blonde up. Bit extreme that, though. Full marks for bravery.

Haha, it was at a restaurant!

You have a duty to name & shame.

Babuchos, Newcastle.
Was great!

+1 for inclusion of scrambled egg on a Sunday dinner

Bloody hell! You paid someone else to serve that to you?

It's that bad even the meat is trying to leave the plate.

I can't even work out what it is. It looks like a war wound.

Looks very tasty, Kev.

Is that next door's cat hanging above the parsley in picture 1?

I'd eat it assuming the answer to the above is a negative one.

Looks tasty that Kev, funnily enough the wife cooked something similar tonight but with pancetta instead of chorizo and cannellini beans instead of chickpeas.

All that Broccoli and cauliflower is missing is a dollop of cheese sauce.
