Favorite roast dinner

I've got the family coming over for a roast on Sunday and I don't know what meat to cook as I'm veggie, what's is your favorite? Chicken, beef, lamb or turkey? They are the main ones aren't they?

  Pork, lots of crackling !!!!!!

Oh yeah forgot about pork!

I tend to go with pork and crackling as often the joints are on offer but really love beef with yorkshires and horseradish

lamb chops mmm i like anything really

Only ever white meat for me chicken or turkey.

Always make them eat before they come over lol x

of course only white meat Hayley how else would you keep curvacious figure to go pole dancing for a living       

Would have to be leg of lamb and mint sauce for me   

Pork with crackling and apple sauce! But gotta have yorkshires with it too! :p

Got to be a good quality free range chicken for us, most people like chicken well except my Mum who would never eat it   

Neither me nor hubby can stand roast pork, I just hate the smell of the stuff cooking, it makes me feel sick, sorry peeps.

We would have yorkshire puds with it too, and pigs in blankets and stuffing balls not forgetting the cranberry sauce. I am making myslef feel very hungry now, fool   

Thanks guys looks like pork it the fave then   

lamb that be minted would be a lot nicer saz i haven't had it for year mmmm   i may get some for this wekend

Most people like chicken, plus you wouldn't have to suffer hearing crunching at the crackling!   
We had roast chicken today (rarely get to have one on a Sunday), popped it in the slow cooker, yum

I don't know what to do   

Go to Tesco and buy a couple of ready cooked hot chickens   

minted lamb chop are well nice   

you could always ask the person or people who coming what they like

Very good point Steve!

I thought that but they'll all say different and the ones who don't get what they like best will be disappointed!

If I wasn't sure Saz I would stick with Chicken not everyone likes Pork or Lamb   

Sounds like that might be the safest best! I just want it to be really nice as I've never cooked a sunday dinner for them all before!

are they blokes or females? bloke wont mind a bit pork chops, if female you may wan go for something more healthy

or an turkey crown and posh sunday dinner

At least with chicken Saz you could do piggies in blankets and stuffing same with turkey but that's not everyones cup of tea   

bloody hell saz you going for it lol

will one chicken feed 6 people? becasue an extra large chicken just stuggles to feed us maybe the dad and brother could have the legs?

Or could be easier to buy chicken breasts

Think maybe you are weird steve but that's probably not reason   
I agree though

If you are going to a butcher ask for a Capon they are a chicken but bigger   

Oh I don't know if one chicken will feed 6? I'll be doing lots of veg, yorkshire puds, stuffing etc too

Not heard of that, but will do, thanks   

i hope you doing the sage and onion yorkshire puddings

you may be doing this but dont presser cook your veg, cook them in their own pans, my sister does this all the time all the veg end up tasting the same

Some will be roasted and some boiled in a pan and I'm doing cauliflower cheese   

 OMG cauliflower cheese i haven't had that since school    

Love it   

are you doing your own roast phototoes? or you buying them ready made one fro supermarkets?

My own

I won't be using animal fat!   Got my own secret recipe for perfect roasties!   

they not roaster with a bit of fat in them   

Oil is fine   

Saz you might be wise to just let Steve come and cook it for ya!! then you can entertain and drink wine    

 saz i hope you fluff up up before cooking!!

 I have perfected the cooking whilst drinking wine!   

Good girl me too, don't forget to fluff your potatoes before roasting    

Ooh now I want roast chicken with mint sauce

Can always see what's on offer at the supermarket/butcher. My butcher does these amazing lean pork loin steaks stuffed with low fat sausage meat and does similar with a chicken breast which is then wrapped in bacon. Both awesome twists for a roast dinner.

The guys at work today have also been raving about the Aldi four bird roast just to confuse you even more
