There's a takeout van around me every now and then that does this exact thing. Serve a roast dinner stuffed into a yorkshire which is sat in a takeaway tub.
It's not a new thing! I've been doing it for years! You can even buy yourkshire pudding wraps in food places like street food halls and restaurants! Where they do lots of different fillings! Give it a go, you never know 🌮🫔
What makes a roast dinner special to me is the tradition of it. The caring mother/grandmother/whoever cooks it spends a whole afternoon getting everything ready, timing everything, doing something truly special. I've never been a huge fan of the actual flavor (roast meat) but when everyone is back home together and my mum does it, it feels like a big warm hug.
I love cooking for my family. I enjoy the whole afternoon process, as you put it. It's such a wonderful tradition that brings everyone together. Everyone has their opinion on how to do it, much like the cooked breakfast. I love that
Dude, putting a lil' bit of everything into the yorkshire pud is an absolute APEX British move - props for flying over here and instinctively making the correct greedy b*stard move, it's a winner and encouraged at any table that had even a modicum of respect for the Sunday Roast! 👌
Just finished our Sunday roast - roast chicken, mashed potato, veggies, cauliflower cheese, homemade Yorkshire puddings, homemade gravy…every Sunday. It’s the only chance we really get to sit down as a family and catch up. Glad you enjoyed it.

33dollars? Shocking! I would make you a roast for free. You eat so well, your enthusiasm for your food would be all the payment I need, I love to cook and when I cook for someone who enjoys food - it’s payment enough.
Thank you Ben. You have shed a new light on our food and culture and have shown many people that our cuisine is good and matches our country well. It may not look as fancy, exotic or exciting as other cuisines, but our food warms the soul in an otherwise cold environment.
Only just discovered your channel and honestly, your take on British food has been so fun to watch. I’m born and raised in London and when I went to university all I would hear is international students moaning about our food. It was either too bland, too simple or just overall wasn’t good. Seeing you come from abroad and enjoying Nando’s, Greggs, fish and chips, sunday roast… bro. Thank you 🙏 glad you enjoy and you’re always welcome here. Wish these companies would give you the shoutout you deserve cause this is the best promotion I’ve ever seen for them. All the best
What it is is that if you do British food bad it is pretty bad but if done well for me it's not even a competition. I love most cuisines but I have never found one quite like the English where it is just pure simple perfection for anyone if done well. I'll admit it's not very experimental and some of it can be bland but it fits anyone's pallet and if done well it is literal perfection on a plate that trumps pretty much any other cuisine in pretty much every way!
As a person growing up in a condensed international city where i can literally eat cuisines from all around the world with easily accessible distance, and have also tried what Ben has been tasting over these few videos, UK food are actually bland for me unfortunately. Sure fish and chips are good, but its just deep fried fish and potatoes, most british cuisines are too simple it almosts feels like its not uk-excluisive. Most of them lacks complexity that makes a dish unique to a specific culture, it gets especially worse when the part of UK i live mostly operates kebab houses, which is literally a turkish cuisine.
Lol I dated a guy who ate just like this and it actually became a point of contention in the relationship because I would be a quarter way into my meal and he would be practically licking his plate and then just sit there looking at me to offer some of my food😂 I was always thinking, does he have a parasite or something lol
@breathoffreshair7314 aww well I never thought of that so I'm glad I never said anything. That being said, I have a lot of Asian friends who have full Pantry's and eat like that 😆 and my ex was Viet so I'm thinking there's a correlation

Pretty solid roast. Usually you’d see a few more veggies, broccoli, green beens, sprouts etc. The Yorkshire pudding is made from batter, pretty such the same as pancake batter
Generally we have the sage & onion stuffing with chicken, but it is delicious with a roast anyway. Yes, we love carrots (or honey roasted), parsnips (or honey roasted), peas, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower or cabbage with our roast. Lots of gravy. Duck fat was used perhaps, but apparently goose fat gives the best potatoes. Paxo is the most famous brand of stuffing here, by the way.

I feel like you loved it, then you added the gravy and you truly got the appeal of a roast. You’ve definitely got the best bits of a roast there but we do normally add a green veg and maybe a cauliflower cheese. And thank you for showing horseradish some love, it’s absolutely the most underrated condiment. Wasabi, mustard (you went balls deep with that colmans) & horseradish are all in the same family of Brassicaceae. They all target the same addictive nose pain 😂
The misrepresentation is the more modern 21st century ‘lazy cooking’ bland frozen foods cooked for 20 minutes and done. I’m so thankful my fiancée is an absolute class cook and 90% fresh ingredients it’s true british cooking.
I first was introduced to the channel via the greggs video. And now I’m back and he’s dressed like he’s from the peaky blinders. He’s really embraced the britishness
Beef and horseradish sauce is the quintessential Roast Meat combination, us Brits would tend to eat mustard more with cold beef in a sandwich or beef platter. English mustard is very hot because it's basically ground mustard seed with very little added to it, I think the USA's version is more like Hot Dog mustard that has mayo in it. Whatever! So pleased you enjoyed it.
Love a good sunday dinner. Glad you enjoyed it. What's strange about sunday dinner is that everyone has it different. As for Christmas dinner, it's a more elevated and "posh" version of a sunday dinner. For christmas we have what are called pigs in blankets which are mini sausages wrapped in bacon, everyone fights over those and we also have a more expensive meat. For dessert we normally have mince pies or christmas pudding which is a fermented hot fruit cake with cream.
_" we have what are called pigs in blankets which are mini sausages wrapped in bacon, everyone fights over those"_ That must be a universal truth within the UK, apart from vegans I guess. One of my absolute favourite parts of a Christmas dinner. Also I can never eat desert after a good Christmas dinner!
Just started watching this channel and loving the UK series. I'm watching this as I'm cooking my roast dinner. I will say the one you've got is a little light on the food haha, I would definitely add broccoli and cabbage as that's what I have on mine alongside the potatoes, carrots and parsnips.
@@MarshTheDarsh we had a cheeky midweek roast last night, with chicken, pigs in blankets, yorkshire puddings, mashed potato, root veg mash, cauliflower cheese and peas. Even had apple cake and custard afterwards. Did have to have an early night though 😆
I have just discovered this channel and I’ve gone down a rabbit hole with the British series - being a Brit and all. Love it. Also, Toby Carvery is you want a cheap tasty roast, coz £33 is expensive 😮 you could buy all the ingredients for less.
My mother used to make giant yorkshire puddings that would fill the plate and you could put all of your dinner in, meat, veg and potatoes, then fill the whole thing with gravy and mint sauce. Happy days 🥰
Tip when making Roast potatoes, you want to half boil them or at least boil them to a point that they slide off a small sharp knife when pushed into the potatoes, also do them into halves or quarters depending on the size of the potatoe, then you want to give them a bash inside the saucepan to fluff them up this allows hot oil to be absorbed alot easier giving it a better crisp on the outside. You also want to heat oil/duck fat in a roasting tin 20 minutes prior to adding the potatoes so it gives them a head start to crisp up, you will need the oven on gas mark 6/7 or 180/190 degrees, cook for 40 minutes take out baist the fat over the potatoes after Turning them return back to the oven for another 40 meets or until a golden colour depending on your preference then your done after that. You'll thank me later! I always use Duck fat as it tastes so much better + it has a higher burning temperature than most oils, some people prefer beef dripping.
I do my potatoes just like you mentioned, but I use oil instead of duck fat (don't think there's halal duck fat in the uk) and it has the perfect balance of crunch and softness.
I don't use a tray for the meat, put it directly on the shelf with a large tray the size of the oven on the bottom shelf to catch the dripping fat and roast the potatoes in the fat of whatever meat is cooking. Gravy is made in the tray after the roasties are done. Every video I see of a roast, the potatoes look like they have hardly been roasted at all
For me a Sunday Roast is something that is best enjoyed with all your family. Even if you want it every weekend it should still be a special meal. I also like how every family has its own traditions- and will have certain dishes that they always have that others might not- Cauliflower cheese, or Mashed potatoes, or Peas, or Yorkshires regardless of what meat you have, or only Yorkshires with Beef. Like most of the best traditional British food its pretty simply to cook but when cooked well it is delicious. And you are right for calling out English mustard- makes a mockery of the meme that the British don't like heat
I always love Ben's genuine love and reactions to the food he tries. Once in a blue moon what he tries may not be that great but he stomachs it and says how he feels and that's what I love most about him and his channel.
I'm here crying tears of laughter and joy watching you eat british food. So wholesome and i like that you love it so much. When you start shaking your head I'm like yep he loves it hell yeah 😂👍
It's been a long time since I last had a Sunday roast, and even longer since I last had a full English breakfast. Got me craving them though with these videos 😂 cheers for trying it out Ben and glad you enjoyed it
been loving the UK vids lately! I've lived here long enough to get used to the classic british meals so seeing other foreigners tuck into food that i myself had those first time experiences with in the past is a real treat, glad to see you're enjoying what the UK has to offer.
Your take on British food is the best I have ever seen from a foreigner to these shores. I'm glad you seem to like most of it and I hope you are enjoying your stay here. I don't think many people have a roast dinner every week. Maybe 20 or 30 years ago but not so much today. You can have a much lighter version that is basically lean roast meat and steamed green veg and no Yorkshire pudding (still plenty of gravy) which is considerably better for you. Also - WOW - that was a lot of mustard. You handled it well.
I freaking LOVE the head shakes of disbelief, its basically what I do every time im in the UK and eat this meal, along with a full english, its so good it boggles the mind 😄
I've never understood why English food has this reputation for being bland and disgusting. Sure, it's not "exotic" but it's generally very tasty when prepared nicely.
Missing a few green veg in there but it still looks great! The stuffing is normally cooked inside a roast chicken, tastes a lot better but still nice on its own with gravy
Nah mate. If your adding chicken to the meal then yea but if its just a roast beef dinner. Stuffing is always still there. At least where I'm from in the UK its what I have always seen no matter the meat
Nice to see you loving British food! I dont know where it gets the bad rep (i love it!). I'm not even British so i didint grew up with it. Real ale +pub food = haven!
I was waiting for you to pile everything into the Yorkshire pudding I would do that right away! So fun, thanks for DRESSING (up) for your dinner, Ben! 🎉
@@PedroGonzalez11111 You literally just watched a video of an American eating a proper roast telling you how good it was, and questioning why people hate on British food because its good. Go troll elsewhere dude. We're the butt of the jokes because nobody has actually tried it or thinks we actually eat things that nobody eats. Stay ignorant.

@@PedroGonzalez11111 only out of ignorance though.
Agree with cofusion about English food having a bad rep, I travel there for work about two times a year and I love the food. You should get a steak and ale pie with chips or mashed potatoes, gravy and mushy peas. That's where it's at.
Really love all your videos! We might not have the best cuisine in the world but you treat what we have with such love and respect that it’s heartwarming content! Thank you from a Londoner! 🙏
Just had one today :) Sunday roast is dearly treasured here in the UK. You can go outside between 4-6 on a Sunday and you will see barely anyone outside in most places. We're all preparing and getting ready to feast on a beautiful Sunday roast.
Love this, Ben, and respect for wading in and giving your own opinions and thoughts on our great British meal (along with the chippy tea and curries). You'll come to see that Brit's opinions on Sunday roast are like arseholes, every has one, and only a few a worth eating. Love from Wales
Ben! There is a restaurant chain here in the UK called Toby Carvery, which serves a roast dinner for £7.50 with unlimited vegetables! You can go there every day of the week not just Sunday
I absolutely love Colman's English Mustard big time - always have a spare in stock in case I run out but MAN! the amount you had on that first bite WOWEEEEEeeee! ps Great Vid!
Hi BenDean, your Sunday Roast looks delicious, they should of gave you some green peas with that to complete the meal. Yes us Brits like to put the roast beef, potatoes, veg and gravy into the Yorkshire pudding and eat it for an out of this world taste. I highly recommend Paxo sage and onion stuffing around £1.00 much better than the Tesco one. Paxo is the best especially if you mix it with a bit of sausage meat and onion and bake it with your roast meal or stuff it in a whole roast chicken. In the UK we like to have a whole roast dinner anytime during the week with stuffing, roast potatoes, peas, carrots and gave on the side. You are a true Brit now BenDeen now that you tried and enjoyed our traditional tasty food. You should try pie and mash next, toad in the hole (sausage in a Yorkshire pudding batter) and Shepherds pie.
And it never gets boring as you have a different meat and change the veg, I rarely have the same veg, leeks, peas, savoy cabbage, just whatever takes your fancy but you got to have decent thickish gravy, that’s an absolute must…great vid Ben 👍
I make a regular roast, and my roast spuds (potatoes) are like glass they are that crispy, par boil, shake and turn your oven up as high it can go, Thanks Delia Smith ❤ also Mashed carrots loaded with butter and tons of black pepper is a must.
as a british person who has roast dinners every sunday i would highly recommend lea and perrins worcestershire sauce, mint sauce or cranberry sauce to go with a roast dinner. also i reccomend trying to roast potatoes in chicken fat and a bunch of garlic, i do that every time i roast potatoes and they’re absolutely lovely love the video btw❤❤
In the UK we have a sauce or two that are traditionally served with certain meats. Beef goes with horseradish or mustard (you must have gotten a mild horseradish you should get the Coleman's one. Same brand as the mustard. Horseradish is usually more of a zinger than mustard.) Lamb is served with mint sauce, chicken with bread sauce, Turkey with cranberry sauce. Pork goes with apple sauce. Gammon with mustard (yes all uncooked ham is technically gammon but here generally if it's roasted for a meal is gammon if it's boiled of cured then it's ham) . There are some regional variations to these rules but in general is the way we do it here.
Growing up we had this dinner every Sunday. I could still eat it every week, a couple of times a week, got to have plenty of gravy. Yorkshire puddings are a must 😉
Only found your channel a couple of days ago and I must say, I'm usually not one to watch food reviews/mukbangs but you're always a good watch. take care.
Smart, duck fat, yes. Those are not the same as mine, I like to go for a crispier outer. Boil potatoes until soft when stabbed with a fork, shake about in the pan to roughen edges (yours didn't look like this stage was done), move to oiled tray and season with a little salt, add a brushing of the duck fat to each. Roast for 30-45.
My parents had a Sunday roast every Sunday for the whole of their lives, and I think a lot from their generation did (born 1930), for me these days I'll have one about once a month, when I cook though my roasts have a much higher variety and percentage of veg, love my veg.
I think Christmas roast in England is a lot bigger then our normal roast and is accompanied by famous British Christmas puddings that our grandma's may or may not of been making for the past 4 months and you can light on fire. That's what makes it special at Christmas
Mine is a little bigger on Christmas because it has more meat etc but its usually just a massive meal no matter what. Like a full mountain on a plate 😂
@@distracted5097 yea its great. I got a roast yesterday and munched it so fucking fast then had desert and was ready for passing out so had to go up to my bed 🤣
The beauty of a roast dinner is that you can change the meet and the veg and you have a completely different meal with different flavours, which is why you can have it week on week. Yorkshire puddings are basically just pancake batter in a cup form but are essential. I think you overbaked the stuffing a little, but it's delicious (Paxo is the king of stuffing). As for mustard, I can't get enough of the stuff. Colmanns is the king and is strong! Us Brits get laughed at for having no flavour or spices, but they haven't tried Colmann's mustard!
You've got a point. That's why we have packet stuffing all through the year and then homemade stuffing at Christmas. By the way when you make the packet stuffing use the water from cooking the cabbage and add some butter.
Here’s why a roast is easy. You put everything in a tin, put oil on it, then wait. I wait 2 or more hours, depending on the size of the meat. But you can’t really over cook it. Because the meat absorbs the heat. But you might need to take the carrots and swedes out before they turn into ash. Or put them in after 30 minutes. Put rosemary on everything. Coat everything in oil actually, in a bowl. Then coat it all with salt and rosemary. Then you just wait. You can use the meat juice, if it was in it’s own tin, to make gravy - you just add cornflower and wine and heat that up as you mix it. I’m quite good at roasts. I don’t bother with Yorkshire puddings, they seem superfluous. But I do want dark Savoy cabbage to counteract all the fat and offer an earthy and clean note to the symphony that is a good roast. You can make a parsnip and carrot mash, too.
I just throw the meat on the oven shelf with a tray at the bottom of the oven. Last hour I tip quartered par boiled potatoes into the tray of meat fat and roast them then make gravy from the tray when it's all done
@@wullaballoo2642par boiling is a good move. You can even peel and 'ruffle' them if you're Deliah Smith. Even use duck fat. That's too extra for me though.
Making a Roast Dinner sandwich out of the Yorkshire pudding is an advanced manoeuvre. Fair play.

He’s really embraced the britishness
Barely anyone dresses like this in Britain though

Beef and horseradish sauce is the quintessential Roast Meat combination, us Brits would tend to eat mustard more with cold beef in a sandwich or beef platter. English mustard is very hot because it's basically ground mustard seed with very little added to it, I think the USA's version is more like Hot Dog mustard that has mayo in it. Whatever! So pleased you enjoyed it.
Love a good sunday dinner. Glad you enjoyed it.
What's strange about sunday dinner is that everyone has it different. As for Christmas dinner, it's a more elevated and "posh" version of a sunday dinner. For christmas we have what are called pigs in blankets which are mini sausages wrapped in bacon, everyone fights over those and we also have a more expensive meat. For dessert we normally have mince pies or christmas pudding which is a fermented hot fruit cake with cream.
_" we have what are called pigs in blankets which are mini sausages wrapped in bacon, everyone fights over those"_
That must be a universal truth within the UK, apart from vegans I guess. One of my absolute favourite parts of a Christmas dinner. Also I can never eat desert after a good Christmas dinner!
Man I'd love to see Ben go to a carvery, bet that'd blow his mind
Yeah a proper pub roast. What he’s got here is the saddest looking roast I’ve ever seen 😂
Yeah it would be much better
Ben is looking quite dapper today on this Sunday Morning. Enjoying a nice Sunday Dinner
Peaky blinders
A gentleman takes his hat off when indoors.
Just started watching this channel and loving the UK series. I'm watching this as I'm cooking my roast dinner. I will say the one you've got is a little light on the food haha, I would definitely add broccoli and cabbage as that's what I have on mine alongside the potatoes, carrots and parsnips.
Yes, there should be a lot more vegetables. I think Ben would enjoy cauliflower cheese too!
@@lucyj8204 i was thinking the same thing, very veg deficient! Cauli cheese is a must, and stuffing has no place on a beef roast!
@@MarshTheDarsh we had a cheeky midweek roast last night, with chicken, pigs in blankets, yorkshire puddings, mashed potato, root veg mash, cauliflower cheese and peas. Even had apple cake and custard afterwards. Did have to have an early night though 😆
I have just discovered this channel and I’ve gone down a rabbit hole with the British series - being a Brit and all. Love it.
Also, Toby Carvery is you want a cheap tasty roast, coz £33 is expensive 😮 you could buy all the ingredients for less.
My mother used to make giant yorkshire puddings that would fill the plate and you could put all of your dinner in, meat, veg and potatoes, then fill the whole thing with gravy and mint sauce. Happy days 🥰
Tip when making Roast potatoes, you want to half boil them or at least boil them to a point that they slide off a small sharp knife when pushed into the potatoes, also do them into halves or quarters depending on the size of the potatoe, then you want to give them a bash inside the saucepan to fluff them up this allows hot oil to be absorbed alot easier giving it a better crisp on the outside. You also want to heat oil/duck fat in a roasting tin 20 minutes prior to adding the potatoes so it gives them a head start to crisp up, you will need the oven on gas mark 6/7 or 180/190 degrees, cook for 40 minutes take out baist the fat over the potatoes after Turning them return back to the oven for another 40 meets or until a golden colour depending on your preference then your done after that. You'll thank me later! I always use Duck fat as it tastes so much better + it has a higher burning temperature than most oils, some people prefer beef dripping.
I do my potatoes just like you mentioned, but I use oil instead of duck fat (don't think there's halal duck fat in the uk) and it has the perfect balance of crunch and softness.
It's also a good tip to coat your potatoes with either maize or semolina powder to really crisp them up.
@@kdlofty that actually makes sense. Will give that a go as well. Thanks for the tip 👍
@@ayb1470 You're welcome. Anytime
I don't use a tray for the meat, put it directly on the shelf with a large tray the size of the oven on the bottom shelf to catch the dripping fat and roast the potatoes in the fat of whatever meat is cooking. Gravy is made in the tray after the roasties are done. Every video I see of a roast, the potatoes look like they have hardly been roasted at all
For me a Sunday Roast is something that is best enjoyed with all your family. Even if you want it every weekend it should still be a special meal. I also like how every family has its own traditions- and will have certain dishes that they always have that others might not- Cauliflower cheese, or Mashed potatoes, or Peas, or Yorkshires regardless of what meat you have, or only Yorkshires with Beef.
Like most of the best traditional British food its pretty simply to cook but when cooked well it is delicious.
And you are right for calling out English mustard- makes a mockery of the meme that the British don't like heat
I always love Ben's genuine love and reactions to the food he tries. Once in a blue moon what he tries may not be that great but he stomachs it and says how he feels and that's what I love most about him and his channel.
I'm here crying tears of laughter and joy watching you eat british food. So wholesome and i like that you love it so much. When you start shaking your head I'm like yep he loves it hell yeah 😂👍
Happy Sunday, Ben! Glad you enjoyed the roastie :D
Roast potatos always made in duck fat 100%
have you tired semolina with the goose/duck fat, it always makes them extra crispy :) soo good.
"We're going to do something wild" proceeds to do what every Brit does with a Yorkshire pudding XD great video mate
when he started explaining how much mustard he put on the sandwitch i was crying 😂😂😂
Snap! It's like when they try Marmite, on a spoon 😂😂😂
"it'll cheer you right up, you'll be feeling right as rain" 😂😂 gotta love a roast dinner.
Turning the Yorkshire pudding into a sunday roast 쌈 is a big brain move
Now combine the full English for breakfast, a roast for lunch and watch the afternoon footy on tv. That's a proper British Sunday. Great vid.
It's been a long time since I last had a Sunday roast, and even longer since I last had a full English breakfast. Got me craving them though with these videos 😂 cheers for trying it out Ben and glad you enjoyed it
been loving the UK vids lately! I've lived here long enough to get used to the classic british meals so seeing other foreigners tuck into food that i myself had those first time experiences with in the past is a real treat, glad to see you're enjoying what the UK has to offer.
Your take on British food is the best I have ever seen from a foreigner to these shores. I'm glad you seem to like most of it and I hope you are enjoying your stay here. I don't think many people have a roast dinner every week. Maybe 20 or 30 years ago but not so much today. You can have a much lighter version that is basically lean roast meat and steamed green veg and no Yorkshire pudding (still plenty of gravy) which is considerably better for you.
Also - WOW - that was a lot of mustard. You handled it well.
Yes we eat it every Sunday. I often eat it twice a week.
I'm not gonna lie, these last 4 mukbangs have by far been the best ever. Amazing!! Next up, kebabs, cottage pie, meat and potato pie?
I freaking LOVE the head shakes of disbelief, its basically what I do every time im in the UK and eat this meal, along with a full english, its so good it boggles the mind 😄
I've never understood why English food has this reputation for being bland and disgusting. Sure, it's not "exotic" but it's generally very tasty when prepared nicely.
Missing a few green veg in there but it still looks great! The stuffing is normally cooked inside a roast chicken, tastes a lot better but still nice on its own with gravy
Nah mate. If your adding chicken to the meal then yea but if its just a roast beef dinner. Stuffing is always still there. At least where I'm from in the UK its what I have always seen no matter the meat
Love how Ben expresses the food’s flavoring. Always enjoyed his videos❤
When I was a child it was tradition to throw everything you can into a yorkshire pudding and see who could eat it the fastest fun times
Just got done eating my own Sunday Roast, it's a perfect way to end off the week and get that energy for the next day.
Nice to see you loving British food! I dont know where it gets the bad rep (i love it!). I'm not even British so i didint grew up with it. Real ale +pub food = haven!
The bad rep comes from Americans who still live off the stereotype from ww2 rationing.
It's hilarious how backwards they are
I was waiting for you to pile everything into the Yorkshire pudding I would do that right away! So fun, thanks for DRESSING (up) for your dinner, Ben! 🎉
Watching Ben eat before doing a ‘big shop’ is absolutely fatal. I could go bankrupt.
I love how British food gets disrespected the world over until they come here and have the good stuff. You can’t beat a GOOD roast.
Oh please, it’s awful
@@PedroGonzalez11111 Saying its awful is an outright lie. You've either had frozen crap, or low quality.
@@_MJ07_ your food is the punch line of most of the world’s jokes
@@PedroGonzalez11111 You literally just watched a video of an American eating a proper roast telling you how good it was, and questioning why people hate on British food because its good. Go troll elsewhere dude. We're the butt of the jokes because nobody has actually tried it or thinks we actually eat things that nobody eats. Stay ignorant.
@@PedroGonzalez11111 only out of ignorance though.
Ben woke up today and decided to look like a Peaky Blinder character 😂
A roast dinner the perfect Sunday afternoon comfort food. Especially on a chilly day like today ❤
Agree with cofusion about English food having a bad rep, I travel there for work about two times a year and I love the food. You should get a steak and ale pie with chips or mashed potatoes, gravy and mushy peas. That's where it's at.
Really love all your videos! We might not have the best cuisine in the world but you treat what we have with such love and respect that it’s heartwarming content! Thank you from a Londoner! 🙏
wiping the plate down with the Yorkshire pudding - you've just earnt your UK Citizenship with that one move alone! Gz
Just had one today :) Sunday roast is dearly treasured here in the UK. You can go outside between 4-6 on a Sunday and you will see barely anyone outside in most places. We're all preparing and getting ready to feast on a beautiful Sunday roast.
Love this, Ben, and respect for wading in and giving your own opinions and thoughts on our great British meal (along with the chippy tea and curries).
You'll come to see that Brit's opinions on Sunday roast are like arseholes, every has one, and only a few a worth eating.
Love from Wales
Not entirely sure I agree but your comment made me chuckle.
Ben being in England is my dream crossover episode.
That isn't a roast dinner, that is a violation
Bro you're a maniac for putting that much mustard on one bite lmao
Ben! There is a restaurant chain here in the UK called Toby Carvery, which serves a roast dinner for £7.50 with unlimited vegetables! You can go there every day of the week not just Sunday
I absolutely love Colman's English Mustard big time - always have a spare in stock in case I run out but MAN! the amount you had on that first bite WOWEEEEEeeee! ps Great Vid!
Hi BenDean, your Sunday Roast looks delicious, they should of gave you some green peas with that to complete the meal. Yes us Brits like to put the roast beef, potatoes, veg and gravy into the Yorkshire pudding and eat it for an out of this world taste. I highly recommend Paxo sage and onion stuffing around £1.00 much better than the Tesco one. Paxo is the best especially if you mix it with a bit of sausage meat and onion and bake it with your roast meal or stuff it in a whole roast chicken. In the UK we like to have a whole roast dinner anytime during the week with stuffing, roast potatoes, peas, carrots and gave on the side. You are a true Brit now BenDeen now that you tried and enjoyed our traditional tasty food. You should try pie and mash next, toad in the hole (sausage in a Yorkshire pudding batter) and Shepherds pie.
And it never gets boring as you have a different meat and change the veg, I rarely have the same veg, leeks, peas, savoy cabbage, just whatever takes your fancy but you got to have decent thickish gravy, that’s an absolute must…great vid Ben 👍
I make a regular roast, and my roast spuds (potatoes) are like glass they are that crispy, par boil, shake and turn your oven up as high it can go, Thanks Delia Smith ❤ also Mashed carrots loaded with butter and tons of black pepper is a must.
Bro got the "fancy a spot of tea" type fit but he looking hella clean with it
BRO DRESSED LIKE TOMY 🤣👌
im so happy with the way you pronounced yorkshire instead of people saying yorkSHIRE you actually said yorksher the proper way
There is something very gratifying watching someone enjoy their food as much as you do . Every british mum would love to cook for you sir.
Listening to this was just great! What a guy! Everything he said was exactly what wed expect to hear much respect my brother
as a british person who has roast dinners every sunday i would highly recommend lea and perrins worcestershire sauce, mint sauce or cranberry sauce to go with a roast dinner.
also i reccomend trying to roast potatoes in chicken fat and a bunch of garlic, i do that every time i roast potatoes and they’re absolutely lovely
love the video btw❤❤
You eat roast dinner EVERYDAY?! Blimey
@@silentgruntlmao i just realised that mistake, i meant every sunday 🤣
I love my roast potatoes with goose fat. What type of meat do you normally add your cranberry sauce to???? I prefer it with roast chicken.
Glad you enjoyed it mate. I usually cook a huge roast every 3 or 4 weeks. Making sure the fat and juices from the meat is soaked in the gravy 😋
In the UK we have a sauce or two that are traditionally served with certain meats. Beef goes with horseradish or mustard (you must have gotten a mild horseradish you should get the Coleman's one. Same brand as the mustard. Horseradish is usually more of a zinger than mustard.) Lamb is served with mint sauce, chicken with bread sauce, Turkey with cranberry sauce. Pork goes with apple sauce. Gammon with mustard (yes all uncooked ham is technically gammon but here generally if it's roasted for a meal is gammon if it's boiled of cured then it's ham) . There are some regional variations to these rules but in general is the way we do it here.
Colman's mustard is weapons grade, absolute must have worth some good beef. Perfection
Growing up we had this dinner every Sunday. I could still eat it every week, a couple of times a week, got to have plenty of gravy. Yorkshire puddings are a must 😉
Only found your channel a couple of days ago and I must say, I'm usually not one to watch food reviews/mukbangs but you're always a good watch. take care.
Smart, duck fat, yes. Those are not the same as mine, I like to go for a crispier outer. Boil potatoes until soft when stabbed with a fork, shake about in the pan to roughen edges (yours didn't look like this stage was done), move to oiled tray and season with a little salt, add a brushing of the duck fat to each. Roast for 30-45.
Today's video was EXTRA mighty fine between the meal and Ben's drip!
My parents had a Sunday roast every Sunday for the whole of their lives, and I think a lot from their generation did (born 1930), for me these days I'll have one about once a month, when I cook though my roasts have a much higher variety and percentage of veg, love my veg.
love how positively you speak of our food and your research, props to you
I think Christmas roast in England is a lot bigger then our normal roast and is accompanied by famous British Christmas puddings that our grandma's may or may not of been making for the past 4 months and you can light on fire. That's what makes it special at Christmas
i saw how some old christmas puddings were made and preserved…strange to see
Mine is a little bigger on Christmas because it has more meat etc but its usually just a massive meal no matter what. Like a full mountain on a plate 😂
@jake62265 😂 that's the best hike
@@distracted5097 yea its great. I got a roast yesterday and munched it so fucking fast then had desert and was ready for passing out so had to go up to my bed 🤣
@@jake62265 😂
The beauty of a roast dinner is that you can change the meet and the veg and you have a completely different meal with different flavours, which is why you can have it week on week. Yorkshire puddings are basically just pancake batter in a cup form but are essential. I think you overbaked the stuffing a little, but it's delicious (Paxo is the king of stuffing). As for mustard, I can't get enough of the stuff. Colmanns is the king and is strong! Us Brits get laughed at for having no flavour or spices, but they haven't tried Colmann's mustard!
I never used to like roast beef or ham much. I'd have turkey drummers with my roast dinner most of the time, they go lovely with gravy too
absolutely loving this british series! and the outfit too haha
You've got a point. That's why we have packet stuffing all through the year and then homemade stuffing at Christmas. By the way when you make the packet stuffing use the water from cooking the cabbage and add some butter.
Here’s why a roast is easy. You put everything in a tin, put oil on it, then wait. I wait 2 or more hours, depending on the size of the meat. But you can’t really over cook it. Because the meat absorbs the heat. But you might need to take the carrots and swedes out before they turn into ash. Or put them in after 30 minutes. Put rosemary on everything. Coat everything in oil actually, in a bowl. Then coat it all with salt and rosemary. Then you just wait. You can use the meat juice, if it was in it’s own tin, to make gravy - you just add cornflower and wine and heat that up as you mix it. I’m quite good at roasts. I don’t bother with Yorkshire puddings, they seem superfluous. But I do want dark Savoy cabbage to counteract all the fat and offer an earthy and clean note to the symphony that is a good roast. You can make a parsnip and carrot mash, too.
I just throw the meat on the oven shelf with a tray at the bottom of the oven. Last hour I tip quartered par boiled potatoes into the tray of meat fat and roast them then make gravy from the tray when it's all done
@@wullaballoo2642par boiling is a good move. You can even peel and 'ruffle' them if you're Deliah Smith. Even use duck fat. That's too extra for me though.
