Mummy cooked a roast today, was very nice.

Can imagine that Americans don't have a roast, it's very calming for the soul, and they seem like angry people on the internet.
Definitely should ask their mummies to make them a roast, they might be calmer.

It depends on the region but yes. Mostly in the south or mid west where people regularly go to church.
Typically, people go to church then have a large family meal together.

>Do Americans have Sunday roasts?
Yes, but it's more seen as a holiday thing rather than a weekly thing, Sunday being the only day that most families have without any major arrangements or activities, many choose to relax rather than prep a meal. The Sunday roast is more seen as an archaic, Norman Rockwell sort of thing; something we used to do, but not in the modern age. Pic related.

We still do roast beef, ham, turkey, and even leg of lamb for major get-togethers, like holidays. OP, by the way, has one of my favorite things you almost never seen in the U.S. Yorkshire pudding. God damn those things are delicious and easy to make.

>> No.12531464

Of course Americans eat roasts. It just doesn't have the same cultural significance it has in Britain.

My mother made Yorkshire pudding quite a few times while I was growing up. Even if they're not the same thing, popovers are similar to Yorkshire pudding and often take their place.

Nope. Have American families ever eaten a roast on Sunday? Sure, but it isn't traditional like it is in Bong.

Americans don't have regularly scheduled family get togethers except for holidays and other special events. They also work a lot more, so sundays are more to decompress than actually prep a big meal. They often eat roasts on holidays though.

>> No.12531575

>>12531404
Yes. I don't think it's as much of a serious tradition here as it is in Britain, but it's here. We always had a Sunday roast when I was growing up. Our sides were different, though (different climate, different veg, you know?). I grew up in Texas, so we'd have roast beef, potatoes, green beans, yeast rolls (instead of your Yorkshire pudding), a plate of sliced tomatoes and onions (seasoned with a vinaigrette), and some kind of dessert, like a cobbler or pie. The green vegetables would change throughout the year, depending on what was growing in the garden, but green beans were the most common. When my Opa was alive, we'd also have creamed turnips, because it was one of his favorite foods, and I still love those and make them whenever I do a roast.

>> No.12531589

I'd be interested to know how many British people actually have a Sunday roast anymore. It doesn't seem like it's part of the culture anymore unless people are going out to a carvery or something.

>> No.12531643

>>12531404
When I was growing up we did. We'd alternate going to each grandparents every Sunday and they'd have baked ham, roast chicken or roast beef (generally a rib roast), sometimes fried chicken. Doubt if it happens much anymore except for holidays.

Stuffed jalapeños for sure. I cut them in half, stuff them, bake them, then top with cheese and broil until melted with some browning. So much better than deep fried jalapeño poppers x 1,000,000.

While roast is somewhat common in the US, one would probably be able to argue that grilling / bbq "culture" took that niche. Grilling is a pretty big deal, especially for white males, who are the only Americans that matter.

When I think roast in the US context I think of roast beef or slow cooker meals. Perhaps on a personal level I have a mild distaste for them because my grandmother did often cook them on sundays, and my grandmother is an awful cook.

In my family, roasted beast was a tradition; except for the southern branch, where fried chicken was the main sunday thing. The northern branch was more well to do, the southerners were poor-fags, at back in the day having beef roast on the table was a sign of financial security, as it was much more expensive than chicken back then (I'm talking the 1960s/70s).
Since then the family has been dispersed across the country and those traditions have been lost. We don't get together that much anymore. People say it takes to much time and work. It's easier to have a pizza or chinese delivered, or put a frozen thing in the microwave.
Most of the old family recipes have been forgotten. The younger generations are too addicted to their cell phones and social media to care about a home cooked meal. Taco Bell, Panda Express, or Panera Bread, are seen as superior to home cooking. Pic related
