00:00Of course. Well, I think, like, you know, it can't be Wetherspoons, of course,
00:03because you've got the cheap pints as well when you have a, you know, a Sunday roast.
00:07For me, personally, with a Sunday roast, you have to have, like, some brussels sprouts.
00:10Because for me, you know, they're a classic dish to go with a Sunday roast, of course.
00:13You know, a bit of lamb or a bit of chicken, of course, as well, maybe helps.
00:17I personally prefer it at home, because once I eat it, I can, you know, be in the lounge,
00:21out, be lazy on the sofa, have a little nap after.
00:25I think the perfect Sunday roast is a good roast potato.
00:28And the best one would be my mum's.
00:31The second one would be in the jewellery quarter, but I can't remember what it's called.
00:36The road?
00:37No, the pub on the corner.
00:38Distillery?
00:39No.
00:41I say it's one of those, like, the Queen's something.
00:45I think my mum's cooking's the best, really.
00:47I think if you get two meats, I like chicken and I like beef, I might.
00:52You know, you've got to have the stuffing in roast potatoes as well.
00:54You know, sometimes, if you're feeling lucky,
00:56a Yorkshire pudding makes it great as well.
00:58You know, heap loads of gravy, like, drowning in it, you know what I mean?
01:01I mean, cranberry sauce is all right as well, but I don't really have it that much.
01:05Yeah, I generally have mine at home as well.
01:07We don't eat beef in my house, so we have pork and chicken, generally.
01:11Turkey, if we're really lucky.
01:13We have multiple types of potatoes, so mash is generally my go-to,
01:16but then the roasties are really nice as well.
01:18Yorkshire pudding's a staple.
01:20You have to have it in my opinion, otherwise you're not having a roast dinner.
01:22And you need a heap loads of gravy.
01:23It's, yeah, just drown everything in it.
01:26Generally, get the mash involved with everything.
01:27And I really like having sort of vegetables, like courgettes,
01:32squares or marrows.
01:33They're generally quite nice, I think, especially if you're doing
01:35granny carrots, they're perfect for it.
01:37So that's generally my go-to.
01:40Always at home, although never make it as good as my parents.
01:46It's more of a seasonal thing, so we'd only really have it autumn,
01:50winter, spring type time.
01:52But just anything that's on offer in the supermarket
01:55and has to have a Yorkshire pudding with it.
