What makes a perfect Sunday lunch for you?
For me it's:
Homecooked, preferably by grandma.
Duck or Chicken.
Mashed Potato.
Plenty of stuffing.
Plenty of gravy.
Yorkshire Puddings.
Broccoli, Brussel sprouts, Sweetcorn and Peas.
And ice cream for pudding :D
Re: What makes a perfect Sunday lunch?
Medium rare roast beef
Yorkshire puddings (i like them when they 'go wrong' and don't rise very much)
Crispy roast potatoes (part boiled, then roasted with lots of oil or fat)
Roast parsnips (lovely with some honey and sesame seeds)
Brussel sprouts (yes really)
Perhaps carrots and broccoli too
Gravy
Pudding would be some Cranachan
Re: What makes a perfect Sunday lunch?
For me good quality meat, crispy roast potatoes and good gravy are the base of a great roast. I tend to avoid eating roasts when out, as I generally find them disappointing, I can rustle up a better one myself. Think my favorite roast meat is good quality lamb, served with all the trimmings including Yorkshire puds.
Re: What makes a perfect Sunday lunch?
All that matters to me is the spuds, lovely and crispy, seasoned with rosemary.
Ta.

No in laws.
Re: What makes a perfect Sunday lunch?
Perfect roast potatoes.
Don't care that much what else comes with then, tbh. Chicken, Beef, Lamb, Some kind of veggie roast - they're all good. Vegetables? Well, I guess you need some, but I'm not too fussed what kind. Gravy? It wouldn't be as good without a splash, but again it doesn't have to be there for a Sunday roast. Yorkshire Puds? I love them to bits, but they're far too much hassle to cook myself (I'm gonna have to hand back my Yorkshire passport for that comment though ;) ) so they don't make it into the Essentials list.
It's all about the Roast Potatoes :D
Re: What makes a perfect Sunday lunch?
For me its:
Roast Beef
Yorkshire Pud
Roast Tatties and Parsnips
Sausage
Green Beans and Sweetcorn
Covered in gravey
I'm salivating right now...
Re: What makes a perfect Sunday lunch?
tbh, as long as it's with the mrs & the kids, everything else is inconsequential.

My response: "awwwwwww"; my wife's response: "That's beautiful, you should give him props for that!".
So, there you go, props from my wife :D
Re: What makes a perfect Sunday lunch?
but the trick...is the gravy.
You gotta make dead good gravy, that makes people ask why it's so good... THATS what makes a good Sunday roast... people looking like they've discovered something that was missing from their life.
