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.

After last weeks fishy fiasco, gone back to basics.

No meat was massaged in the making of this dinner.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 😉
