Who does a proper Sunday lunch/dinner/tea each week?

Just putting the oven on now. There's only the two of us so we usually get 3 or 4 meals out of one bird, plus stock from the bones.

We like to have a proper meal on Sunday, today it is bangers, mash and onion gravy. We don't do carvery's for the reasons given above and we rarely eat a take away.

If we have a chicken then we have a good roast dinner then the left overs are either in butties for a couple of days and/or a chicken and veg broth for an evening meal.

I know what you mean, but I wasn't thinking of a carvery and I stopped going to places with them a long time ago precisely for those reasons. Pubs I will eat at are a fair bit more than £8 per head and out of town, which tends to thin out the 'pile it high' clientele.
Sounds snobby but I can afford it and I'd rather have one nice meal out a month than a KFC every week.Or a KFC ever for that matter.

We make an effort for us all to sit down and eat together every day at home as per the OP (rarely eat 'on our knee'). It's sometimes the only way the 'teens will stay in the vicinity long enough to get a conversation out of them. Doesn't happen on a Sunday very often though.

We also tend to sit down and eat together most nights even if that means eating at 8:30 pm. And it's rarely out of a packet, though I do have stuff in the freezer for emergencies and days when I've not had time to prepare or shop.

Tonight is going to be, roast chicken, home grown potatoes, roast squash and beetroot (again home grown), and maybe some carrots or peas for the fussiest member of the family.

Some people comment their kids couldn't wait that late to eat but it's just a case of what they are used to, when they were small Mr Summerdays got home from work after 6:30 every evening and I was fed up producing two meals where theirs wasn't as good as ours so just fed them later.

We're often all doing various things that make coinciding at the table on a Sunday an achievement, but we often do one... chicken usually, free range of course

Miss Goodbody prepares everything from scratch so I've heard, she'll even choke your chicken if you give her one.

Depends on whether the football is of interest to us or not on the Sunday in question.

If it is then we have something that can be scoffed in front of the box and then we top-up with a light snack in the evening - which usually involves cheese and Port.

If it's not then we'll have either a roast or something Mexican in origin.

There's only two of us so we don't have to revolve meals around kids as we did in the past which is a whopping great tick in the box for us.

Roast lamb or chicken every Sunday. Today I'm doing roast lamb with all the bits, just got the mint sauce to do

Will she baste your beef for you as well?

 

[Piemaster]

Steak prepared by the ships cook yet again today, and it's usually for lunch then heated and re-served at dinner time. Think thats now at least 5 times this week.
You have no idea how good beans on toast sounds at the moment.

 

[ChrisV]

Will she pull your pork?

The trad roast is nasty. Incinerated meat and a billion veg. Yuk.

 

[burndust]

Nope....no sunday roast here
