 Sunday Roast

It is always served in the early afternoon. Many North Americans make the mistake of thinking they will hit a pub and get a roast dinner at 5 or 6 in the afternoon, which is when North Americans will have theirs, only to find that meal service has been stopped hours ago.
The name arose in the 20th century. Meat would be left in the oven to roast while people were at church, so that it was ready to eat at lunch time when they got home.
For a Sunday Roast meal, roasted meat is often accompanied by Roast Potatoes, and other roast items such as Roasted Parsnips and Yorkshire Puddings. Many people like to make Yorkshires even if they aren't having beef.
Also called:  Sunday Dinner
Sunday Joint
