Has roast dinner ever been anything but mostly vegetables? Are people going around with a plate that's 60% meat?

The vegetables are the point, you can roast a chicken but what makes it a roast dinner is having all the veg done with it and in with the meat so they taste good.

As I was walking through Co-op I noticed the front page of the torygraph said the back-to-work plans had been 'delayed until after the next election.'

Presumably when they will be enacted by Rachel Reeves and a visibly aroused Wes Streeting.

I looked into this and basically a charity did a poll, people on twitter doubted the poll, and the gbnews article is about those tweets

Also the article mentions nothing about wokery whatsoever, it's entirely in the headline

Oh and the article also wanted me to sign up to notifications and install an app.

So it's a public pool or whatever? This is the point, why the gently caress is it referred to as Wild Swimming if it's in a lido or whatever? It'd make more sense if you were swimming in a lake in bumfuck nowhere? It's very much a British thing and it doesn't really make any sense..

Also Parliamentary Long Pork should be on the menu

We had a very nice roast dinner tonight. I can confirm that the chicken was indeed very dead (or at least dying), sadly proving GB News correct.

It's called wild swimming the same reason it's called rough sleeping, to imply a degree of separation from 'proper' swimming/'proper' sleeping. it's not what proper brits do

Cauliflower cheese is one of the most disgusting foods known to Man (or Jaeluni at any rate). The number of times my dad dished it up for our dinner as kids. That or macaroni cheese which is almost as gross.

Cauliflower cheese is good as an accompaniment with something meaty like stew. I can see it going well with a roast dinner, but a necessary component? No way.

Also I'm entirely in favour of the recent American import of having mashed potatoes with a roast, delicious.

It's very nice on a sunny day. If anything that's half the enjoyment, if it's too hot you can get in the sea, lovely and cold.

Not a big sweet potato fan. I don't hate it, as long as it isn't sweet potato fries (garbage poo poo for healthy morons). Roast, it gets too dry usually but it's somewhat edible. Decently good if chopped into cubes and sauteed with shallots. But still, I'd usually prefer a regular potato.

Celery root is an unknown one that's really good. Also provides good flavor for other stuff you're roasting, while holding up a lot better than celery stalks.

I can only assume its a regional thing, for example we rarely do Yorkshire puddings.

Also clay pots are awesome for roasting. It seems like something that's gimmicky but it's totally worth it. The idea is that you soak them for a while, and it essentially steams the food. You can cook food faster at much higher temperatures with them without drying things out.

A roast potato is only a vegetable in the most technical sense, somewhat like a chip.

Putting sweet potato and swede anywhere near a roast dinner, honestly. I audibly tutted when I read your post, that’s how strongly I feel about it.

Putting carrots so low on the list suggests to me that you’ve never had lovely roasted carrots, I do mine with a bit of honey and rosemary, they’re great.

Cauliflower cheese like so many dishes can be utterly amazing or hosed up royally as a factor of how you cook it, what cheese do you use, do you season it properly to determine if you end.up with amazing caramelized crispy goodness or grey farty slop.

If you've been fed the aforementioned grey farty flavored slop before, it doesn't matter how good the version is someone is making you, all you'll taste is that, because our brains our dumb and broken and like to recall misery.

Like many British dishes.
