Roast dinner.

[Deanbha]

I am having chicken for dinner which will be covered in mint sauce, love it!
When i was younger my dad never used to let me saying ''mint sauce only goes with lamb''

Still to this day he is insistent on this, oh and yorkshire pudding only goes with beef TWAT.

Is anyone else like this?

My son likes ketchup on everything which my dad says is wrong. Ketchup= chips.

Any meat and gravy is an excuse to have mint sauce - luv it

For me, Mint Jelly is nicer

A friend of mine always has mint sauce and Yorkshire pudding whatever the roast meat. My nephew used to have ketchup on EVERYTHING when he was young, he is 18 now and can't stand the stuff!

Your dad is absolutely right, ketchup does equal chips, and WTF are you putting mint sauce on chicken for!!!

I have just finished a lovely roast dinner of organic free range roast chicken (much better flavour) with crisp roast pots, cauliflower and carrots.

Beautiful....

Yorkshire pudding comes BEFORE the meat.

"Them as eats t'most pudding gets t'most meat"

I wouldn't have mint sauce with chicken myself, I'd much rather have either bread sauce or english mustard. Ketchup with anything other than chips strikes me as just wrong.

Ketchup in a burger or hot dog?

Cranberry sauce with any roast is good, today I'll mostly be eating roast pork, apple sauce with this though. I haven't had roast pork in yonks so I'm looking forward to the crackling, roast potatoes, spring greens, cauliflower & peas. Almost gives me as much pleasure as yesterday did.

Bread sauce is quite possibly the worst shite ever invented. Sauce made from bread..........Why is not adding loads of flavour to the meat,Tatties and gravy not good enough you then feel you have to drown the dinner even more with stodgy bland splodges of sick

Generally with your dad TBH. Mint would not go with chicken in my view (or bef for that matter), but perfect for lamb. Tom Ketchup on everything is one for the kids, they need something sweet - I would seriously worry about a grown-ups health and style of diet if they had red sauce with everything (unless they're covering up poor cooking).

Again, I'd much prefer mustard.

For me he rules have always been:

Chicken = sage & onion stuffing
Beef = yorkshires & horseradish (or English mustard if you must)
Lamb = mint sauce
Pork = apple sauce
Gravy with everything

Never been sure if cauliflower cheese is allowed with a roast, personally I'd say no. Same goes for sweetcorn, not a roast dinner veg.

Exactly what my dad says. Dad is that you?

Correct on every level.

And I like keeping a couple of yorkies back for afters with golden syrup poured all over them

Always English mustard with roast potatoes regardless of what meat they accompany, never had mint sauce on chicken (yet) but I am partial to a big bowl of peas with some butter and ketchup

Prefer Raspberry Jam myself. Syrup is good though.

It's not difficult, these are tried and tested combinations over hundreds of years of things that compliment each other. Putting, say, apple sauce with beef, just wouldn't work to any normal palette, whereas pork needs that sweetness. A palette that's "immature" or used to ketchup with everything is not getting the full benefit of what they're eating.
