I tried a traditional Sunday dinner in Lisbon once. Was basically a massive bowl of different boiled meat. Probably one of the most disgusting meals I’ve ever had put in front of me.
1st trip to Spain, early 80's every night a meat option was offered, every night the "meat" was the same grey(I jest ye not) piece of something but called chicken, or beef or pork or lamb and one o had never heard of amd still haven't but was same meat every night.

The icing on the cake though was a starter offered of egg soup, curiosity got better of me so went for it, a bowl of boiling water arrived with 2 eggs floating in it, again I jest ye not! Not even a baguette to dunk, Fuming!!

Worse bout of Montezumas Revenge ever that holiday.....

Never again.


*Where are the Yorkies for goodness Sake!
 

‘Tis the season. Just talking regular, Sunday dinner here. Chrimbo dinner talk can wait for a couple of weeks.

What makes up your go-to Sunday roast?

Pork shoulder with proper crispy crackling is the one for me. Roasties, cauliflower cheese (deal with it) and roasted carrots. Gravy obvs.

Wouldn’t turn down a bit of broccoli if it’s going, but once you start having to pile the food up you’ve gone too far.
I like cauliflower cheese with the sauce but the sight of that on a plate mixing with gravy makes me feel sick.
 

Genuinely curious here: have you never had a roast dinner that left you feeling like you'd enjoyed it?
No never.

I don't mind the likes of Yorkshire puddings but that's about it.

Not much of a meat person really, especially the stuff you could tell was alive once! Spuds are basic, too much veg going on and don't start me on gravy (meat juice).

I also find the time to prepare to enjoyment ratio to be ridiculous, loads of mess to clean up afterwards too.

So, what is meal 'A number one'?
 
Can’t edit the poll now mate.

In fairness: For me, Yorkies are exclusive to beef roasts, and PIBs are Chrimbo only.
Not in the North East of England as regards the Yorkshire puds. They have them with any roast and my late mother in law used to serve them as a starter. I was quite taken aback the first time I went to visit and was presented with a giant Yorkshire pudding with gravy and nothing else. Where's the rest of my dinner, I wondered. That was the next course.
