A British roast dinner is a hot, sit-down meal typically served on Sundays – hence the term 'A Sunday Roast'; at its heart, it features roasted meat – beef, chicken, lamb or pork, accompanied by roast potatoes, a variety of vegetables, gravy, and Yorkshire puddings; what makes a roast dinner special is its sense of occasion.
A savoury dish of cooked minced meat topped with mashed potato and baked; the meat used may be either previously cooked or freshly minced; the terms 'shepherd's pie' and 'cottage pie' have been used interchangeably since they came into use in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
A traditional British dish consisting of sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter, usually served with onion gravy, mashed potatoes and vegetables; historically, the dish has also been prepared using other meats, such as rump steak and lamb's kidney.
