Grandparents always provide great food. It is said that often they make the best meals. In my opinion my Nan definitely meets the specification of a brilliant cook. If you were ever to taste her roast dinner, I would say you would best describe it as food forged by the gods. Delicious.

So what defines the ultimate roast? There are three key features to the perfect roast dinner: roast potatoes, some sort of meat and the all-important gravy. Of course there are numerous extras, for example a medley of vegetables, but these three components are the main commodities. The combination of the gravy and “roasties” is simply divine. I’m stuffed to the brim yet writing this is still making my mouth water.

The roast is a typical English Dish and definitely one of the best. Traditionally eaten every Sunday it also makes a large debut on Christmas Day and Easter. If ever you were to come to England the Sunday roast is definitely a dish you need to try.
