A traditional Sunday roast...

Something I just read on another thread by Marg P about roast pork with crackling, apart from making my mouth water, made e realise that despite living for 25 years in Italy I always do a proper roast of some sort on Sunday for lunch. It is possibly the only "English" style meal of the week but I always do it even though it's not the custom here.
Have just finished clearing up after stuffed roast veal today, last week it was a hand-reared duck which a friend gave us and the week before that a really nice piece of beef with yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings. I have a lovely boned leg of lamb in the freezer for next week and I will stuff it as my mum taught me with her special stuffing mix which has chopped dried apricots in it. It's delicious.
Does anyone else still follow this old tradition? What is your favourite?

I think I would be struggling to choose between beef 'n yorkshires and pork with apple sauce myself...but then there are lots of other possibilities!
