Sunday roasts
British family meal
A Sunday roast is a traditional British meal served on Sunday afternoons, typically featuring roasted meat (beef, chicken, lamb, or pork) with roasted potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, and gravy.
The meal carries associations of family gathering and leisure: We always had Sunday roast at my grandmother's house.
The tradition emerged when families could devote time to slow-cooking after church.
