traditional roast

Oven-cooked heritage meal

A traditional roast is a meal centered on a large cut of meat—typically beef, lamb, pork, or chicken—cooked in an oven and served with accompaniments like roasted vegetables, gravy, and Yorkshire pudding.

In British culture, the Sunday roast is a weekly family ritual: We always have a traditional roast at Grandma's on Sundays.
