    I was born in the early fifties. Our family was not well-off, so we always looked forward to our roast dinner on Sunday (which my mother would slave over, while my Dad dug veg in the garden - ohhh, fresh veg, straight from the soil, nothing like it). The meat was different each week (lamb quite often, chicken rarely) and my Mum would concoct weekday meals out of the left-overs (supplementing them as necessary). Obviously, shepherd's pie. We were happy during the week, but Sunday was a physical expression of contentment. The four of us would sit round the table and listen to Round The Horne, or Family Favourites. It drew our family closer together. Then an afternoon walk. Baked potatoes under an open grate later, in winter, or salad from the garden in summer. Hmm. Feeling a little notalgic.

      I agree with fresh veg from the soil, if only we could all do that. Many years back I had a workshop on a potato farm and scooped up the potatoes as they were harvested I was given some literally just plucked from the soil. To this day I would say they were the best potatoes I have ever tasted.

    I’m Canadian and my family would have Sunday rose quite often. When I discover Yorkshire pudding, it was a game changer. My recipe for Yorkshire pudding was straight out of a British cookbook and it always said to use the drippings from the roast. I couldn’t do that because we saved the drippings to make the gravy, so we just use vegetable oil in the bottom of the pan instead.

I haven’t eaten meat for over 20 years, but I still love a roast dinner at my sister’s, with Quorn Roast, all the vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and a jug of vegetable gravy and the obligatory mint sauce. One of the most comforting and delicious meals ever, and I am always starving when it is cooking, the food aromas awaken my appetite, and always ready to eat when it is placed on the table.

      The myth about British food being bad was born out of US servicemen stationed here during WW2 when rationing was in place. Traditional British dishes stand up well against any European cuisine. Try a proper shepherd's pie or a Cumberland sausage ring with English mustard.

    People in this video talk about the taste of the Yorkshire pudding as if they ate it without gravy. But the point of Yorkshire pud is that it is meant to be eaten with loads of gravy because it stretched out a meal and filled you up if you could not afford a lot of meat.

    My late mother was English descent and we used to have Roast Beef prepared this way many Sunday nights. I had no idea this was a regular Sunday dinner occasion of Brits, I figured most Americans were eating like we were. Now I see this was because of my Mom's English background. She also used to prepare Pasties on cold days, which I believe came from Wales originally.

We usually have French bread on the side but I’d love to try a Yorkshire pudding. I was wondering what that was. My husbands Dutch family does Groente/green soup with meatballs or chicken sundays. We eat these meals in between church services. It’s sad British food gets “roasted” for being bland bc this looks amazing and so does the full English breakfast.

I am the owner of the restaurant featured in this video. We operate weddings and one couple had a connection to Malaysia and so I said we can do an Indonesian/South East Asian menu. Now I had some experience of this as I had dated a girl in may youth for 7 years. Her mother was Malaysian, she tough me to cook Indonesian food, Rendangs/Sambal sauces/Satay/Nasi Goreng etc To this day it is my favourite food. We absolutely nailed the food for the wedding impressing her family over from Malaysia.
