The Brits have figured out how to have a "Thanksgiving meal" over and over and over again. Sound delicious, right? Two words: Sunday Roast.
A few weeks back, Aaron and I had our first experience with this British tradition. Sunday Roast is incredibly popular on... you guessed it, Sundays! At places where you can find a good roast, you need a reservation to get in, and it's definitely more common in pubs than everyday restaurants. At most places a roast is very reasonable, and wow is it delicious. Here's a sampling of what you'll find on your plate:
Meat - Beef, Chicken, Pork, Lamb are the most common... I've found that turkey is much less common in London in general. Good news for these gobblers!
Roasted Vegetables - Broccoli, carrots, string beans, oh my!
Potatoes - Mashed, roasted, baked... a Sunday Roast is not complete without potatoe, potatos
Yorkshire Pudding - I had no idea what this was and it does not look like any pudding that I know! It looks more like a muffin/souffle. A light airy crust, hollow in the center
Gravy - "Pour some Gravy on me!" sings the plate
Luke Warm Pint - Wash down the deliciousness like a true Brit
So, are you hungry yet?
