Roast

Beef is ingrained in the British psyche, especially for Sunday meals. Sunday roasts are as popular now as they were a few centuries ago. For that reason, the French began to refer to Englishmen as "rosbifs" in the 18th century because they ate roast beef so often.

With everyone being able to prepare meat, the British Sunday lunch ritual arose and continues today. It's even made it way out of the family dinner table and into pubs and other times of the week. This is a familiar dish of British families on the weekend, hence the name Sunday Roast.

This meat dish is usually grilled whole, then sliced, drizzled with a special sauce, served with vegetables and mashed potatoes. You can use chicken, beef, deer, lamb... to make roast, it's all very tasty.

This substantial dinner is a source of national pride as well as one of the most delicious meals you'll find in the United Kingdom.
