Lighthearted Sunday dinner question...

[ForssAwakens]

Would it cause a major incident if you declined the mash?

I do agree that it's wise to endure the mash rather than risk your wife being disinherited.

We once did Sunday dinner ourselves and the in laws brough their own mash round when we said we weren’t doing it

 

[HarryVegas]

Definitely both

 

[Mickey_2003]

I dboth, but only tend to have the roasties. However, if I fancy it, I stick butter in, but when doing for everyone else I withhold the butter by request.

 

[Ingleby_Flash]

Very very buttery mash. I put the butter in and when Mrs F isn’t looking I double it, any leftover cream in the fridge goes in as well.

 

[FlapJacks]

Are baked beans allowed with this combo FJ?
I'm in if they are

I think the bean juice and mashed potato combination might be problematic with regard to texture.

A genuine Sunday dinner is roast potatoes. Buttery mash is nice now and again alongside the roasties but if you want the proper Sunday dinner experience roasties are the only way to go. Today my roasties are accompanied by roast leeks, roast parsnips, roast carrots,buttery cabbage, broccoli two lovely crisp Yorkshire pudds and thick proper gravy made with the juices from the beautiful roast beef that takes centre stage on the oversized plate. Mrs Duffman makes an amazing Sunday dinner.

This is part of my issue with gravy.

I'm sure most of these dinners just get their photo took from a few angles posted on FB , insta, influencers 'r' us sites , look at 'me' and my lunch sites, then get chucked in the bin or given to the dog at best. I don't believe a Gen Z has ever eaten a Sunday lunch. The lunch is exploited as a 'content'

Sausage and mash is the only meal that should ever require the mashing of a potato.

I 1000% disagree. Mash compliments many meals.

I admire your work sir.

 

[TeaCider]

Good gravy is essential for the mash though.

 

[Muttley]

Champ. If it's with beef, cheesy champ.

Mashed pots plus cream and spring onions with lots of butter. You may want to book a slot in James Cook Cardiac Unit...

 

[JackG]

Mash. Everything else is just an accompaniment to the main dish

 

[Borobuddah]

Nonsense!

Both preferably and always at my mams

Beans on the side it is then

 

[Littlefella68]

Currently neither. Cutting carbs

What about Cottage or Shepherds Pie? Surely that requires mash?

It requires extra mash

Roasties, cooked in olive oil and fresh thyme and loads of salt. Roasted for an hour and three quarter (after parboiling) turning and basting frequently.
Parsnips roasted for 1hr 15, in peppered olive oil, dusted in curry powder and smothered with parmesano.

Mash is for the toothless, but can be provided, using butter, cheddar, cream, garlic and black pepper

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

Always roasties apart from Christmas dinner when you have both.
