I live on my own and I cannot remember the last time I had a roast dinner. I can take it or leave it.

Sorry pressed too soon. It was going to say they tend to go for quick meals, just as healthy, but simpler. They can then spend more time with the family. I remember my dear MIL being horrified because she dropped by one Sunday in the summer and as it had been so hot we were having cold roast chicken and salad for lunch. I think she thought I wasn't feeding her son properly. Personally I do like a roast dinner, especially if someone else cooks itgrin

I do think a lot of younge people don't have the traditional roast dinner on Sunday's, with so many mums and dads with children working full time they ten

We visited for the first time a Garden Centre offering a Carvery, which we do enjoy. I warned DH the food wouldn’t be as warm as he likes it and we couldn’t expect the same standard as a restaurant, well I was totally wrong. It was delicious and hot.

There were about 10 Choices of veg plus crispy Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes all for £10.99 which is cheap for this part of the world.

We had roast beef and I told the chef 2 slices of meat were more than enough for me. DH had the standard 3 slices, in fact we couldn’t eat all the meat so we have brought it home for cold tomorrow night.

Do you think it was because many of us had a Sunday roast in our youth that it is so popular with pensioners ?
