I had the most memorable (I rarely ate English roasts anyway) trad Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding in a pub in Haworth, West Yorkshire of all places. The pub overlooked the moors. It was real Heathcliff and Cathy country. You could imagine Kate Bush running around in a ref dress like a loon. It was packed Sunday lunchtime. We ordered two traditional English roast beefs with Yorkshire pudding and all trimmings. The landlord kept eyeing us with an amused look on his face. Pansy southerners I reckon he was thinking. When two ENORMOUS platters arrived, I understood what he thought was funny. I've never seen so much food on a plate before or since. The Yorkshire pudding itself was the size of a massive plate. If that's his challenge, sod him. I'll finish it. I thought. I must confess I failed. The person with me managed less than half. If I'd have known the portion sizes, one meal and two plates would've been ample. Three plates would probably be full. It was good food, but bejaysus, it was too much. No wonder Heathcliff and Cathy ran around the moors so much. They were working off the pub grub. The locals were demolishing their portions with no difficulty whatsoever.
@@OriginalBeardedHaggis no I wish I could remember the place …it was very small and not a pub somewhere between Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Somewhere I wrote it down I was a guest at Norton house hotel near Edinburgh By the way. It is truly haunted

@@cittiavaticano As an Englishman I would say English/British food is not bland (or if it is then a lot of other cuisines with better reputations are as well) but is just often done really badly. My wife is Spanish and I would say the main reason why you'll generally eat better in Spain than in England is not the 'cuisine' but that the Spanish expect/demand more as food is more important to their culture than it is to the British.

My family in Pennsylvania, would always do a traditional Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding and mashed potatoes. I didn’t think anything of it as a kid but now as adult I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that my grandfather was a child of English immigrants. My grandmother in Pennsylvania is one of the few places I’ve ever had Yorkshire pudding in America.

Wish people would stop claiming British food is bland (stop rating it with fish and chips, thats a seaside snack that’s gets poshed up) .

You can tell Tom Kerridge is English and the woman is Australian because they both know how to use a knife and fork properly not like two shovels the way the Americans use cutlery. And yes you can get a vegan/ vegetarian version of the Sunday roast.
Gravy is what makes Sunday Roast so special. Use the juices at the bottom of the roasting dish as the base, add a bit of flour then the cooking water from the veg, bit of wine and you are away.

It’s only a roast with gravy and a simple pastry 😂. The rest of Europe would say this roast is eating normal. We would make a roast any random day, not necessarily for a festive family meal. On the continent, people would be happy to have a roast once in a while, but would be bored to tears to have it every week, especially if cooked always the same way. Also don’t forget the reporting is made by a U.S. journalist who thinks putting butter in a pan to grill a steak is cooking 😂.
So yummy! I grew up with Sunday roast.. my mom was English and she continued this tradition raising me in the US… I can literally taste the food in this video..
I hope ALL of you know that a good gravy is essential to make all of this work. No gravy and you don't have much. My mom would roast the beef in a large French roaster, drain the fat for Yorkshire pudding, then deglaze the pan while the roast sat and with a butter roux made a gravy, an outstanding gravy at that. Fat back into the roaster where the pudding was made and after it came out golden, the beef was carved, we all ate family style. Of course there was always plenty of side dishes to make things interesting. Side note: During Thanksgiving break, my mom would post an invite at the local university for anyone that couldn't make it home could come to our house so we could enjoy the holiday together.
@@wessexdruid7598 I always wait for the roast to be done so I can utilize the 'fond' from the roasting pan. My gravy is always made from scratch, just before serving.
4:47 this makes me really, really cross. There is no problem to ‘fix’. This chap has just put a different spin on a traditional meal, and good for him. However, real, home-cooked British food is neither bland nor boring, and I am sick to death of hearing non-Brits like this reporter say stuff like this. Change the bloody record and get out there and do some proper research. I recommend reading the excellent book ‘British Food: An Extraordinary Thousand Years of History’ by Colin Spencer as a good starting point to understanding our food culture and not the stereotypes made popular by American GI’s after WWII that have been perpetuated throughout media, film and TV.
Exactly!!! Considering the appalling food, laced with chemicals banned in huge swathes of the world, Americans have no room to criticize any other nation about their food.
@@Railssob_Kaetson1 I MIGHT have a smidgeon of respect for your opinion if you could even spell what you denigrate. As lamb is not a common meat in the US, most Americans will only know about Cottage Pie. Same concept, still totally different. Also, in Britain, our livestock are raised purely on grass, to high welfare standards.
We look forward to welcoming you to our shores and hope you enjoy seeing the sights, sampling the varied cuisine and meeting the many friendly people that make up these isles.
@@teeniemcneeToby Carvery is a pretty authentic working class British experience. It’ll be fine if you’re on a budget. But if you can do better, find a non-chain pub with good reviews for their Sunday dinners
After the Sunday roast comes Monday bubble and squeak. Take the left-overs (make sure you make enough on Sunday to ensure left-overs) Mash the roasties in with the mash. Tear the meat into small pieces, also the Yorkshires. Add the peas, cabbage and carrots. Mix together and fry in a pan. After a while the mix will be begin to, well, bubble and squeak. Great with (Cumberland) sausages and brown (HP) sauce.
I’ll eat anything. British food gets a bad rap, he got good food and bad food in any country and there’s nothing wrong with great tasting traditional, comfort food, I do love me some good bangers, and mash and a beautiful stout to go with that, I think if people visit the UK and give it some time they’ll find something very pleasing to the pallet. I did as an American.
I love how the sunday roast is being embraced across the pond. I'm from Manchester and have met a few Americans here who always say they wish they could get it back home 😅
You can, you just have to cook it yourself. My sister and I have made Yorkshire pudding many times, mostly on Thanksgiving, usually with a big roast (and very good sides).
When I was a kid, most Sundays we'd go round to my Nan's house for a roast. We didn't have much money, so dinners in the week were often cheap stuff. Made the Sunday dinner 10x better. Being with family was lovely as well, and something I appreciate more now looking back, but being a lad who played football 10 times a week it was the calories I wanted 😂 You can't beat a roast dinner if you're from England. It's still something special to me to this day, my polish wife is even better at making them than me.
Indian food is great, but it's not a Sunday Roast. You can't say a Sunday Roast is bland, if you do, you are doing it wrong. Eating at a Toby Carvery is not having a Sunday Roast, it's like comparing McDonalds to a Five Guys.
British cuisine is not just fish & chips, but a Sunday roast could be beef, leg of lamb, pork or chicken. The smell and taste is amazing. Beef Wellington is a favorite of mine 🤩
Yes when I stayed with friends in Surrey England we did have roasts on Sunday. Minus the Yorkshire pudding. No roast pumpkin though. When I roast vegetables I always add pumpkin here in Australia, apparently it’s not eaten in the UK. But when we went out for a meal there it was in Indian establishments
There are so many great pubs now I lived in Brighton for ten years, and I had a specific pub I would go to in any part of the city for good food. A sunday lunch is all about warmth, sitting with friends or family and enjoying a rewarding comforting meal after a long week That fusion roast looked fantastic!
I am Australian and we always had a Sunday roast every week growing up. It's much more than just a meal, its all about family time. It's not something you can rush.
Yes, they have veggie and vegan Sunday Roasts. Potatoes, carrots, mushroom gravies, that's all veg :) And traditional English nut loaf (a fantastic baked loaf that you slice, it has the look and feel of juicy meatloaf! Blew my mind the first time I tried it) is used instead of meat. Nut loaf is loved by meat folks in the UK too. So yes, veggie lovers enjoy British Sunday Roasts, absolutely!

I once roasted lamb ribs, pork belly, a topside joint, a whole duck, and a whole goose on the same day. We also made our own yorkies, gravy, and sides, such as cheesy cauliflower, parsnips, brussel sprouts, mash etc. Everything was perfection. You are meant to make this at home with friends and family, not order it at a pub.
Saturday night is perfect for a traditional British curry night as we Brits love a bit of spice but there is nothing bland about British food, it’s uncomplicated and honest. There is nowhere to hide with a traditional Sunday roast of either beef, pork, lamb or chicken simply seasoned with salt and pepper and served with a traditional condiment such as mint, apple, or horseradish sauce or a nice blob of English mustard. Bring it on and pour that gravy.

Sunday roast and Sunday dinner are not always the same thing. It doesn’t mean one is better than the other. For me it’s about the family getting together. For those of you who go round their Mum’s or Nan’s house for Sunday dinner. Savour every moment and mouth full because you will spend a lifetime after they’re gone, trying to recreate it.
Give me that first traditional meal any day. That looked fantastic. The currey one i'd have from time to time but alsways prefere the traditional one. Also, someone mentioned Christmas in the comments. There will be no curry what so ever at Christmas in my house. Christmas and Christmas food is a huge part of our culture. I would laugh at anyone that asked for a curry on Christmas day.
With the nonstop attack on British culture by those that see British culture and traditions as racist, I'm sure it makes this event is even more important.
Nobody attacks on British food because they see British people as racist, the idea of British food = bad partly comes from WW2 rationing the effect it has had on the UK's cuisine and the image associated with it. People attack British food because they have misconceptions about it and think it is bad. France, Spain and Portugal had huge colonial empires and are certainly criticised for racism, but people don't attack the cuisines of those countries, do they?
For fellow vegetarians, you don't need to miss out. I make a Mushroom Wellington and a homemade onion gravy. A Sunday roast is lovely, but honestly just give me gravy and roast potatoes and I'll be happy.
The potato recipe is not a secret….that’s how they’ve always been done. The reason a roast is not eaten by people every Sunday is due to the cost of meat. You yanks need to try true British food, it’s not bland or boring, at least we eat real cheeses.

diversity is a good thing. but watering down other cultures traditions with anothers is how we start a race war. what a shame. just call it tamil food eaten on sunday. dont destroy a brittish tradition to make indians (who aren't even a minority in the world, brits are the minority! india is massive man) feel better because they chose to move abroad. what a shame.
That's not a Sunday roast and never will be, if I want a Sunday roast ill either have it at home or in a pub that cooks one.
Well England's National dish is Chicken Tikka Masala that's why its Popular
@@GlenB-qo7wdAnything you roast on a Sunday is well....a Sunday roast. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday ermmmm...not so much.

You can tell Tom Kerridge is English and the woman is Australian because they both know how to use a knife and fork properly not like two shovels the way the Americans use cutlery. And yes you can get a vegan/ vegetarian version of the Sunday roast.
Pardon me but this American does not shovel food in. I have class and manners and etiquette.
Gravy is what makes Sunday Roast so special. Use the juices at the bottom of the roasting dish as the base, add a bit of flour then the cooking water from the veg, bit of wine and you are away.
add stock lemon mustard
@@johnny1897 Sadly lots of chickens are sold without giblets these days, which are essential for a good chicken stock.
Guinness instead of water or wine.
I will never understand why people say (European mainly) that in England they don't eat well. Not onky in England, but in the entire UK, you will find everything from any corner of the world just a few steps from your home and with the best quality too. The best!
But, is it good?
People are talking about British cooking, not what other cultures have in the UK.
@@newname2600 I think the point is that British cooking is now an amalgamation of cultures from all over the world. That other British staple Fish and Chips? Brought to the UK by Jewish immigrants in the 17th century
@@glostergloster6945 I’m responding to a comment, not the video.
It’s only a roast with gravy and a simple pastry 😂. The rest of Europe would say this roast is eating normal. We would make a roast any random day, not necessarily for a festive family meal. On the continent, people would be happy to have a roast once in a while, but would be bored to tears to have it every week, especially if cooked always the same way. Also don’t forget the reporting is made by a U.S. journalist who thinks putting butter in a pan to grill a steak is cooking 😂.
So yummy! I grew up with Sunday roast.. my mom was English and she continued this tradition raising me in the US… I can literally taste the food in this video..
This is one british dish I wanted to try for a long time.
I hope ALL of you know that a good gravy is essential to make all of this work. No gravy and you don't have much.
My mom would roast the beef in a large French roaster, drain the fat for Yorkshire pudding, then deglaze the pan while the roast sat and with a butter roux made a gravy, an outstanding gravy at that. Fat back into the roaster where the pudding was made and after it came out golden, the beef was carved, we all ate family style. Of course there was always plenty of side dishes to make things interesting.
Side note: During Thanksgiving break, my mom would post an invite at the local university for anyone that couldn't make it home could come to our house so we could enjoy the holiday together.
The gravy should be the first thing that you start, imho.
@@wessexdruid7598 I always wait for the roast to be done so I can utilize the 'fond' from the roasting pan. My gravy is always made from scratch, just before serving.
Can I come over?
@@randmayfield5695 Oh yeah, you gotta have the fond.
@@randmayfield5695 I use a stock base - and I find the flavours develop best over time, but certainly you need the final juices to finish.
4:47 this makes me really, really cross. There is no problem to ‘fix’. This chap has just put a different spin on a traditional meal, and good for him. However, real, home-cooked British food is neither bland nor boring, and I am sick to death of hearing non-Brits like this reporter say stuff like this. Change the bloody record and get out there and do some proper research. I recommend reading the excellent book ‘British Food: An Extraordinary Thousand Years of History’ by Colin Spencer as a good starting point to understanding our food culture and not the stereotypes made popular by American GI’s after WWII that have been perpetuated throughout media, film and TV.
Exactly!!! Considering the appalling food, laced with chemicals banned in huge swathes of the world, Americans have no room to criticize any other nation about their food.
It's very bland. You should try expanding your palate from Sherphards pie and othe wretched English food.
@@Railssob_Kaetson1 what a presumptuous and arrogant comment. Maybe you should expand your knowledge and try reading the book I recommended.
@@Railssob_Kaetson1 I MIGHT have a smidgeon of respect for your opinion if you could even spell what you denigrate.
As lamb is not a common meat in the US, most Americans will only know about Cottage Pie. Same concept, still totally different.
Also, in Britain, our livestock are raised purely on grass, to high welfare standards.
@@Simulacra719 Whcih English cuisine isn't bland?
I should be in England next summer. I can't wait to try this out.
We look forward to welcoming you to our shores and hope you enjoy seeing the sights, sampling the varied cuisine and meeting the many friendly people that make up these isles.
Don’t go to a Toby carvery if you want a decent roast
@@teeniemcneeToby Carvery is a pretty authentic working class British experience. It’ll be fine if you’re on a budget. But if you can do better, find a non-chain pub with good reviews for their Sunday dinners
After the Sunday roast comes Monday bubble and squeak. Take the left-overs (make sure you make enough on Sunday to ensure left-overs) Mash the roasties in with the mash. Tear the meat into small pieces, also the Yorkshires. Add the peas, cabbage and carrots. Mix together and fry in a pan. After a while the mix will be begin to, well, bubble and squeak. Great with (Cumberland) sausages and brown (HP) sauce.
I’ll eat anything. British food gets a bad rap, he got good food and bad food in any country and there’s nothing wrong with great tasting traditional, comfort food, I do love me some good bangers, and mash and a beautiful stout to go with that, I think if people visit the UK and give it some time they’ll find something very pleasing to the pallet. I did as an American.
I love how the sunday roast is being embraced across the pond. I'm from Manchester and have met a few Americans here who always say they wish they could get it back home 😅
You can, you just have to cook it yourself. My sister and I have made Yorkshire pudding many times, mostly on Thanksgiving, usually with a big roast (and very good sides).
Why can't they cook it themselves? It's not difficult!
That looks absolutely scrumptious
The great thing about a Sunday roast is that it is straightforward food, no gimmicks.
"In the countryside outside of London" 😂
Knowing Americans they could be talking about Berkshire or Scotland.

“We couldn’t get a Sunday roast, so we got entirely unrelated food instead”
We were in London and Manchester for 8 days in 1996. We had decent food from small places. We were not disappointed.
arfriedman,
Faint praise, at best . . . ☆
When I was a kid, most Sundays we'd go round to my Nan's house for a roast. We didn't have much money, so dinners in the week were often cheap stuff. Made the Sunday dinner 10x better.
Being with family was lovely as well, and something I appreciate more now looking back, but being a lad who played football 10 times a week it was the calories I wanted 😂
You can't beat a roast dinner if you're from England. It's still something special to me to this day, my polish wife is even better at making them than me.
Indian food is great, but it's not a Sunday Roast. You can't say a Sunday Roast is bland, if you do, you are doing it wrong. Eating at a Toby Carvery is not having a Sunday Roast, it's like comparing McDonalds to a Five Guys.
Or pop music - v- Mozart.
Oh the roast beef of old England and old English roast beef
Even when my parents came to the US, we always had a roast dinner (my favorite roast potatoes) every Sunday.
Nothing beats a Sunday roast
I just ate, but my mouth is salivating
😂😂. .
My third arm is also salivating
British cuisine is not just fish & chips, but a Sunday roast could be beef, leg of lamb, pork or chicken.
The smell and taste is amazing.
Beef Wellington is a favorite of mine 🤩
Fish and chips are a delight if cooked properly but sadly most chippies do not and many home cooks simply don't know how to do them.
Battered Mars bar, Trifle, Treakle sponge. There are so many heavenly desserts here too 😋
Yes when I stayed with friends in Surrey England we did have roasts on Sunday. Minus the Yorkshire pudding. No roast pumpkin though. When I roast vegetables I always add pumpkin here in Australia, apparently it’s not eaten in the UK. But when we went out for a meal there it was in Indian establishments
Pumpkin is seen carved at Halloween, I would never eat the stuff. Squashes are ok for soup, that’s it. Never seen it in Indian restaurants here.
They were doing it wrong with no Yorkshires, though many think they should only be with beef.
@@nicolad8822pumpkin and a variety of squash are used in Indian cuisine. If all you do is carve a pumpkin you’re missing out on some great veggies 😂
Swedes and turnips are more common in the UK, mainly used in stews, roast parsnips are quite common with roasts, and my favourite.
That’s the problem with southerners. You should always have a Yorkshire Pudding with it. It’s the law.
There are so many great pubs now
I lived in Brighton for ten years, and I had a specific pub I would go to in any part of the city for good food.
A sunday lunch is all about warmth, sitting with friends or family and enjoying a rewarding comforting meal after a long week
That fusion roast looked fantastic!
I am Australian and we always had a Sunday roast every week growing up.
It's much more than just a meal, its all about family time. It's not something you can rush.
Yes, they have veggie and vegan Sunday Roasts. Potatoes, carrots, mushroom gravies, that's all veg :) And traditional English nut loaf (a fantastic baked loaf that you slice, it has the look and feel of juicy meatloaf! Blew my mind the first time I tried it) is used instead of meat. Nut loaf is loved by meat folks in the UK too. So yes, veggie lovers enjoy British Sunday Roasts, absolutely!
Sunday roasts used to be common here in Sweden. after they had been to church. the only thing we didn't have with it was yorkshire pudding
English breakfast and Sunday roast......best in the world!
A proper English Sunday roast should be cooked in a kitchen, not purchased in a restaurant or pub.
Not so easy or worthwhile if ur a single person household
Did anyone else catch that Yorksheer pudding?
"is there a veggie option?" Ugh, yanks and their ignorance.

It's been over thirty years since I have had a good British meal. Roast lamb with mint sauce
London, New York, Rome, Melbourne etc… so many great cities for excellent food 😊
As a Brit if I'm not working on a sunday and we're all in as a family we will always cook a sunday dinner... It's easy to do but all about timings.
The way she said pasties cracked me up. I was not expecting that 🤣
We had our first Sunday roast of the “season” today. It was delicious. No apple crumple for dessert though🇨🇦🇨🇦😢😢
No crumble!!!! That should be illegal
Must have Yorkshire puddings and stuffing with loads of gravy
‘I want to try and cook that roast for my kids…’ lol. The Sunday Roast is enjoyed in Ireland and throughout the Commonwealth of Nations.
The Hand and Flowers was right next door to my school. In the 1980's (well before Tom bought it) it was the place where you find anyone form the lower years from the school enjoying a pint or two (Gr7-8 in modern terms) :)
let the others exist, sure, but never do away with the traditional roast and the like.
Here here. They may all exist, but we must make sure we never lose sight of as much of the original intended format of the dish as possible.
It'll never go away, its a great family meal without much complication
Can confirm as an American who lived in the UK. Sunday roast and a Full English are the best!
Tradition is not in restaurant it's cooking and eating home with family
let just say "best of both world"
with your passion to share food is a way to share peace and love in different idea.
i loved to taste everything from different chef perspectives in respect, everyone had their creativity and a nostalgia add into it.
Wow that looks glorious!
Amazing!!!!! This is a tradition I can get behind!!
I once roasted lamb ribs, pork belly, a topside joint, a whole duck, and a whole goose on the same day. We also made our own yorkies, gravy, and sides, such as cheesy cauliflower, parsnips, brussel sprouts, mash etc. Everything was perfection. You are meant to make this at home with friends and family, not order it at a pub.
This is the first in this string to mention British cheese. Good call mate!
Saturday night is perfect for a traditional British curry night as we Brits love a bit of spice but there is nothing bland about British food, it’s uncomplicated and honest. There is nowhere to hide with a traditional Sunday roast of either beef, pork, lamb or chicken simply seasoned with salt and pepper and served with a traditional condiment such as mint, apple, or horseradish sauce or a nice blob of English mustard. Bring it on and pour that gravy.
I'm moving to England, now.
Exactly what I was thinking!
they are all in Spain.. whining..

Watching this on a Sunday while my wife is making us a Sunday roast dinner 😎 just tops the weekend off.
My Mom used to make Sunday roast I always looked forward to it especially the pudding.
What a brilliant alternative that restaurant had to our traditional roast. Loved that!
Jamas supe que comian los Britanicos; esto es y se nota super delicioso
both those roasts look incredible
That looks pretty good. Never saw a Yorkshire pudding that big before.
How else do you put sausage and gravy in one?
@@wessexdruid7598 Pure madness, I don't know. I've never had a sausage in my Yorkshire pudding. Only gravy. I'm American so I have gone soft I think.

I want to eat both. And I really like how the chef/pub owner had nothing but admiration and praise for the Tamil Crown.
If you want to know about anything English/ British, you definitely don’t want to go to London.
That depends on what u want to know
Sunday roast and Sunday dinner are not always the same thing. It doesn’t mean one is better than the other. For me it’s about the family getting together. For those of you who go round their Mum’s or Nan’s house for Sunday dinner. Savour every moment and mouth full because you will spend a lifetime after they’re gone, trying to recreate it.
As much as I love Indian food, I’d have a normal Sunday dinner over that any day of the week.
We grew up dirt poor, hot dogs and chicken patties for dinner during the week. But on Sundays, we always sat down as a family and had an actual dinner
No. England's traditional meal IS NOT changing.
It already change to kebab since Muslim takeover innit
apparently 1 guy making an alternative version is nationwide changing...
Maybe the first time I’ve seen British food look appetizing. I’m here for it
Our food is the best
You just haven't looked hard enough brother
Give me that first traditional meal any day. That looked fantastic.
The currey one i'd have from time to time but alsways prefere the traditional one.
Also, someone mentioned Christmas in the comments. There will be no curry what so ever at Christmas in my house. Christmas and Christmas food is a huge part of our culture. I would laugh at anyone that asked for a curry on Christmas day.
boxing day however...
Roast dinner is fabulous, the York shire pudding g is amazing
As an Asian, the Tamil thing has nothing on the original. The Sunday roast is grand as it is and does not require an Indian inspiration.
Ok champ. Whatever you say. And yet they’re out there doing their thing regardless of your opinion.
“As an Asian” 😂😂
You say that, but food is always being adapted. Chicken Tikka Masala for example is a British take on the Indian curry, being invented in Glasgow.
I’m from Australia not England, but curry doesn’t not belong anywhere near a roast.
Can’t beat homemade Yorkshire pudding
Seems so Loving to perfect The dish that his Mother would serve regularly in order to bring a sense of Belonging to a child!
With the nonstop attack on British culture by those that see British culture and traditions as racist, I'm sure it makes this event is even more important.
oh here we go, play victim
Nobody attacks on British food because they see British people as racist, the idea of British food = bad partly comes from WW2 rationing the effect it has had on the UK's cuisine and the image associated with it. People attack British food because they have misconceptions about it and think it is bad. France, Spain and Portugal had huge colonial empires and are certainly criticised for racism, but people don't attack the cuisines of those countries, do they?
Being a Brit abroad, all foods are acceptable if you enjoy them!! Me I love Lamb, Venison and Duck! 🍽🍽🤗🤗💫💫
Pair Yorkshire pudding with potatoes, carrots, and a mushroom gravy for a vegetarian or vegan meal
Exactly. That’s a completely valid option for people who are vegetarian.
Traditional Yorkshire pudding is made with milk and eggs and cooked in beef drippings and gravy is also made from meat drippings. Not vegan at all.
Nope, not vegan. The Yorkies are made with milk and eggs
The pudding is made with milk and eggs. So you might as well eat the beef and stop putting on a show for everyone.
@@LisaG442 They could be made with vegan milk and egg substitutes
For fellow vegetarians, you don't need to miss out. I make a Mushroom Wellington and a homemade onion gravy. A Sunday roast is lovely, but honestly just give me gravy and roast potatoes and I'll be happy.
The potato recipe is not a secret….that’s how they’ve always been done. The reason a roast is not eaten by people every Sunday is due to the cost of meat. You yanks need to try true British food, it’s not bland or boring, at least we eat real cheeses.
u know very well why they can't eat real cheese in the US and they have their FDA to thank
