Getting ready for the Sunday roast here at Castle Ager, prepping veggies, drinking beers and chatting with the boss (Mrs Ager) and discussing how it is such a tradition in our house and in lots of British homes, and got to wondering what is typical to eat elsewhere in the world on a Sunday?
It would be fun to know for example if fish is the dish of the day in Finland, so since we have a nice community here from all corners of the globe, whats yours?
I think in Germany it’s the same.
“Sonntagsbraten”.
Unfortunately these traditional come together meals don’t happen that often today.
I am preparing chicken tikka right now 
Sunday dinner is the time when you usually eat what’s left of all the meals you prepared for your guests during the whole weekend 
Yeah mon!
I do a Sunday roast every week… Traditional. Kids love it. We love it. The way the aroma fills the house. Best bit for me is the gravy. . Proper chicken gravy! oh my…
A joy!
Manchester U.K.
Oh yeah its all about the gravy man!
Could I ask everyone to post their country? Or edit post if forgot?
Keep em coming!
U.K. here. So roasts most Sundays in our household. but we’re both pseudo-veggies so normally just the veggies in full-on roast styleee unless we have guests. But today we were at a christening so no roast… you’re making my envy boil @darenager and the labs are looking very disappointed 
Roast chicken. Cauliflower cheese. Roasties. Yorkies. Carrots. Gravy as thick as tar.
And we’ve bought some of the jack Daniels cider to try…

Damn, you can’t beat a good roast! 
@enryo I was vegetarian for a year, and my son was for first 10 years of his life, I have to say though I was miserable so started eating some meat again.
@darenager we’re not evangelical about it, Mrs O doesn’t eat meat but will eat gravy with meat juices in it and roasties done on goose fat etc. and I’ll eat meat if we go to friends who were cooking a joint anyway. We just don’t buy it. Seems to work best this way for us. I have been a strict veggie in the past, a few times, but always seem to fail. Although maybe that says more about my will power than anything else… not being too dogmatic about anything in life seems to work 
Did elektronauts became British these days?
Lol, well at least tell us your dinner!
Yes. Didn’t you know the OT was conceived and roasted in the West Country?

Sad supermarket sushi and a beer on the train as I find my way home after a trip on the weekend…
sad Sunday story
Not specific to Sunday, but weekends are a good time to work on something more involved. We had a snow day on Friday, so no school gave me a jump start on my ramen. I’ve been gradually working on it and expanding and I think this is my 3rd winter of work. Pretty pleased that I’ve added some sort of blackened garlic sauce called mayu to it. It’s added a nice dimension. Also put more effort into pickling the carrots and enoki mushrooms. 
As for the broth, it’s chicken based since my fiancée doesn’t eat pork. Chicken feet rule though.
“Sonntagsbraten" in Germany has a similarity in the name but it is more like just a dish, not so much an actual weekly tradition. English Sunday Roast also has lots to offer even for vegetarians like me, German “Sonntagsbraten” doesn’t really.
I met lots of people in the UK that do the Sunday Roast thing in their homes every week. I don’t know a single German family around here that does. It’s a shame really.
Here at Olo Mansion in Germany it’s a mix of unconventional and traditional and it varies with the seasons. A winter favorite is “Sauerbraten” which is braised beef marinated in vinegar with mustard seeds other spices. It comes with dumplings made of potatoes or stale bread and veggies. When we’re travelling with the kids (both play a lot of team sports) it’ needs to be something that can be prepared and is ready to eat as soon as we return. It’s a given in our home though that it’s made from proper, fresh ingredients, no boxed stuff.
I’m about to have an “east coast style” philly cheesesteak sandwich, where the resulting flavor, as i’ve come to understand, is achieved by a voltage-controlled lowpass filter (VCF) on the bun. The VCF removes harmonic content from the overall flavor, itself generated by the sandwich.
…not a traditional meal here in the midwest USA, but it’s good for a hangover!
Miss the classic roast. Never bother anymore. Stir-fry in front of the Liverpool game tonight. Few Coronas, job done.
