Re: A traditional Sunday roast...
 

:)
It only half explains it, though-I think most people have traditional Sunday dinners from a young age, and if I had have had that, I think I may have carried on having something similar when I got older, perhaps omitting the meat and replacing with something else...

But I've never done that. I know a lot of vegetarians keep up the tradition by cooking all the 'trimmings' (they're what make it different, really to most other dinners) and working around the meat.
This thread's making me want to attempt this, now lol :)

My mum is a veggie and she gets the veggie alternative to a meat loaf at Christmas so she has a veggie roast with us.

I like it that when I clicked on that link I got a page titled 'Hell in a Handbasket'. :D

It's a good idea and I'm thinking I will do it this year :)

Yeah she enjoys them and we all get a bit as we like them aswell, they have one in M & S which is very nice and not too dear.

Re: A traditional Sunday roast...
 

Now that I seem to have recovered from my birthday and I feel like solid food again:D, I have a roast of moose in the slow cooker ... a few potatoes, baby carrots, turnip, and onions, with salt and pepper and a couple of cloves of garilic. Should turn out ok I think ... already smells great. Ok, so it isn't Sunday, and moose is possibly not in the UK "tradition", but with a nice bottle of red ... mmm.

By the way, all ingredients are locally grown (even the moose;)) and the wine is from Prince Edward County just down the road from here.

That sounds good Eric!

Re: A traditional Sunday roast...
 

Sugarmouse -I have a very good vegetarian cookbook which suggests several alternatives for a "roast" (Sarah Brown's healthy living cookbook) The "Celebration" roast sounds nice -layers of a creamy nut mixture, then mushrooms with walnuts in a moist layer in the center. There's also a buckwheat roast and a nice-looking vegetable terrine. Take a bit longer to make than bunging stuff in a wrap though!

Re: A traditional Sunday roast...
 

Eric -what does Moose actually taste like? Please don't say sort of "Moosey"!;)

Re: A traditional Sunday roast...
 

Italian here tonight -just made a Ragù (what the call Bolognese sauce in the UK!) -not having it with Spaghetti though - the traditional way is actually with Tagliatelle -so it's a "Tag Bol" and not a "Spag Bol"!

Bit of a change last night -husband and boys have been watching "Man vs Food" and fancied a cheese-burger with all the salad, gherkins and sauces etc. -with chips of course.

Lunch today was a home-made minestrone followed by an onion frittata and mixed salad -I am a slave to the kitchen:(

Re: A traditional Sunday roast...
 

Shut up Eric - this has prompted me to go looking for a slow cooker - then all I need is the moose!

Re: A traditional Sunday roast...
 

Sue..he has only told us about it to make us slavver...knowing full well that none of us is near enough to gatecrash his slow roasted moose.:D

I have just braised some shin beef with kidney and a bit of barley........this will be for tea tomorrow.
I will put a suet crust on it in the morning. We will be having it with baby new potatoes, steamed carrots and cauliflower. Proper stick to the ribs grub.

Re: A traditional Sunday roast...
 

Sue, You either need part of a moose or a very large, slow cooker.
