Summary
Find out the dates, history and traditions of Roast Dinner Day

A classic roast dinner typically includes the following main ingredients:

  • Roasted meat: The most common meats used for a roast dinner are beef, lamb, pork, or chicken. The meat is typically seasoned with herbs, salt, and pepper and roasted in the oven until tender and cooked to the desired level of doneness.

  • Roasted vegetables: Popular roasted vegetables include potatoes, carrots, parsnips, Brussels sprouts, and onions. The vegetables are typically seasoned with herbs, salt, and pepper and roasted in the oven alongside the meat.

  • Gravy: A rich and flavorful gravy is a must-have for a roast dinner. The gravy is typically made from the drippings of the roasted meat and thickened with flour or cornstarch. It is seasoned with herbs and spices to taste.

  • Stuffing: Stuffing is a common side dish for a roast dinner and is typically made from breadcrumbs, herbs, onion, and butter. It is often cooked inside the cavity of the roasted meat or served as a separate dish.

  • Yorkshire pudding: A traditional British accompaniment to a roast dinner, Yorkshire pudding is a savory baked dish made from a batter of eggs, flour, and milk. It is typically served alongside the roasted meat and vegetables and is often filled with gravy.

  • Cranberry sauce: A sweet and tart cranberry sauce is a popular condiment for roast turkey, chicken, or pork. It is typically made by cooking cranberries with sugar and water until they burst and form a thick sauce.

These ingredients can be customized and adapted to personal preferences, but they form the basic components of a classic roast dinner.
