How many families sit down to a traditional Sunday Lunch these days and what do they have ?............
I don't mean once in a while or even often but with regularity given these days of Sunday shopping when the Local Tesco is busier than any day in the week or the nearest big Mall is teeming with people ............and I don't mean going to a Carvery or the Nearest decent Gastro-pub .............I mean at HOME.
I t was almost ritual when I was a kid with a beef joint / yorkshire or Lamb the leftovers of which became either a Cottage or Shepherds pie on Monday having been minced served with bubble and Squeek ( Not Sooty and Sweep ! )
Whilst on subject of TV ..who is old enough to remember that Sunday lunchtime classic " Out of Town " with Jack Hargreaves ....
.......a lovely old boy who would enthrall us with Fly-tying a Mayfly Nymph ,laying a blackthorn hedge or treating Chickens for Sourcrop whilst puffing away on his Pipe .
It was only the late 60s/early 70s but I think even the lunch is something from a bye-gone era ..........and then best of all at 3pm on a Sunday ,replete from lunch , it was time for the best TV of the whole week .............KUNG- FU with David Carradine
........My name is Kane - I come in Peace
Enjoy your Sunday Grasshoppers !

Sunday? Not a chance
why do people get excited about pancakes once a year?
i roast a big chunk of meat on a regular basis, but it's rarely on Sunday lunch.
we always eat as a family, the same meal around the same table... no phones or tv, every day.

It has to be something far less healthy
I don't join as I find it shit having to see a table full of food and all I can have is some chicken and mash....

@WezV I don't get the fuss over pancakes once a year either, they're at least twice a month in my house.
Just had pork with crackling, roast potatoes; par boiled and fluffed up and roasted in lard, Yorkshire puds (frozen), sprouts, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower with gravy cooked in the meat juices.
It's a meal we all enjoy and one of the only times we all sit down as a family at the same time to eat. A tradition in our house and an integral part of our home and family life.
Today I had a bowl of homemade haddock chowder, some of Mrs Oct's sourdough and salad.
If we are out with friends I might indulge but usually not.

These days Mrs B and me usually have a light lunch and proper dinner in the evening. We've just had homemade pea and ham soup and rolls. I made a beef and beer stew this morning and that'll sit in the slow cooker all day. Nom.
