As its Sunday, who on here has a traditional Sunday roast every Sunday. I've had one today for the 1st time in months, it's not a meal I'm overly fussed about having but decided to have one today.
Used to have them religiously when I was a lad even though the family weren't religious. I suspect the traditional home-cooked Sunday dinner has been in serious decline for at least 30 years now. Social changes, diversification of habits and more choice mean sadly that the Sunday dinner is no longer an automatic on a Sunday. I blame Thatcher for speeding it up just as I blame Thatcher for most things.
A try to every week, I’m the only one in the house who has one so the chef doesn’t like doing on but ever since I was a young un’ I’ve had one, I’m even partial to the occasional midweek Toby carvery too!!! Sunday diners are elite meals
Don't have a roast every Sunday, more like once a month - either home cooked or at a local pub. Very few things can beat a good one.

We had a Sunday roast today, I didn't have a Yorkshire pudding just chicken, sprouts, broccoli and green beans.
If my partner insisted on me cooking something I don't like as a separate meal just for them I'd hand them a roasting tin and point them towards the cooker.
Not had one for years and struggle with Christmas dinner too. Just too much and too heavy. I do enjoy the port and Stilton mind.
If it was something I knew my partner especially didn’t like making, and knowing it was just for me, I’d be cooking it before they’d get chance to offer.
I live alone so a full Sunday dinner is a bit of a pain for just one person. The pleasure in cooking comes from making a meal for someone else, not yourself. But I do like a Sunday dinner. I tend to make a half-arsed Sunday dinner every few weeks. I don't do the Yorkshires or the roast potatoes (I know these are the best bits) but I'll roast a joint/chicken in the air fryer (it does it beautifully), make some gravy with the juices from that and do some veg to go with it. And I can dine out on that for most of the rest of the week. On the other weeks I'll do a curry which lasts me a few days too. And some weeks, roast meat and curried veg.
1st time on a sunday for a while. (But occasionally have a roast in the week at a carvery) 1st time at BFC. Excellent. Will certainly be back.
When I lived at home it was a Sunday ritual all the family would sit down to a Sunday Lunch this was late 80's early 90's unfortunately this doesn't happen these days due to work commitments
