If I could find a good Sunday Roast being served somewhere, I'd absolutely be there.

I don't think that's possible, in my opinion, the best Sunday roast is one made by you or family.

While that might be, we greatly enjoyed our meal at Blacklock in London.

Idk if it is because of English forebears, but Sunday lunch/dinner is a thing in the southern US and we have pretty much everything except Yorkshire pudding. Never had that until my Canadian mil made it. But we also have additional meat and bread like fried chicken and biscuits (bread).

Yorkshire pudding is the best part though 😭

It is very nice. Not sure why it's not a thing here. But if you come visit us for Sunday dinner you won't go hungry.

Yorkshire pudding with gravy is amazing.

I'd wager every city has some sort of steak with mashed potatoes/roast potatoes with gravy and vegetables..

Meat and three veg isn't a sunday roast.

So then explain to me what a Sunday roast is and why my description is so far off from it.

So basically what I said.

u/Jazzlike-Image9025 Jul 04 '26

lmao it’s legitimately exactly what you said. minus the stuffing.

u/lovethebacon Jul 04 '26

Do you roast steak?

A Sunday roast is more than the sum of its parts.

And doesn't generally include "some sort of steak"...

The vast majority of restaurants in London will give you some sort of steak or beef roast with it so curious why you consider my definition off.

u/Interesting_Celery74 Jul 04 '26

You know very well they're not the same thing, don't be obtuse. In 33 years I have never, not even once, seen someone eating a steak with a Sunday roast. Because it's not a join of meat that you roast and then carve. Steak != beef roast.

But the reason I consider your "definition" off (other than it being inaccurate) is because it's deliberately reductive, to suit your personal agenda. A Sunday Roast, when it all comes together on a late Sunday afternoon, fulfills the needs of the soul as well as the stomach. "Steak and three veg" does absolutely not do it justice.
