Arguably in my childhood it was pretty bland, but I’ve since had Sunday Dinner at my wife’s folks and it’s been decent, especially if they have lamb. I’ve also had a few carveryies.

Gravy is fine, Sunday roasts likewise. But I’ve picked up on a trend for us Brits to celebrate them as peak UK cuisine. Decent fish and chips is something I’d be happy to brag about, but a roast dinner just feels a bit meh and flavourless compared to a curry, a Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Italian, Turkish etc.

EDIT - although clearly I’m in a minority! Perhaps it’s the association with Sunday. In my mind it’s in with Howard’s Way, Heartbeat and a general grey feeling. Having to chew through chicken and root vegetables with some salty gravy on top the night before school may have skewed my thinking.

Haggis with neeps and tatties and a little gravy is amazing. So peppery and satisfying. I know it sounds shite, but genuinely one of my favourite meals. Would take it over a Sunday roast any day. A lamb roast is excellent, mind you.

Lol “keep”

When I was a kid, my dad would sometimes take us to the pub. We’d get mangled on multiple cans of coke and gorge on scampi fries. Halcyon days!

Weirdly, my sensitivity to caffeine has gone through the roof in my 40s. I just turned 48 and, if I drink just one cup of coffee after mid-day, I’m not going to get to sleep until about 3am.

I did get banned, for using ChatGPT to fix my spelling and then using an old account to go back, which was ban evasion. I’d been on it for 12 years. I guess the point is that the banned people on here these days are not necessarily batshit trolls, many of us are semi-normal :-)
