00:00A Sunday dinner is more than just food, it's people getting together, it's your memories from your childhood when your
00:07mother or your father would put the Sunday dinner on the table and I just think it's an institution that
00:15everyone should still do.
00:16My daughter's a vegetarian so I eat very little meat but when I do go out for Sunday dinner I
00:21do pig meat because I don't generally have it through the week. So a typical Sunday roaster, your York Shepherd
00:28and all the trimmings.
00:30I like my roast chicken actually, not so much for me because I'm trying to keep off the red meat,
00:34but it's very important.
00:36If I went for beef it would have to be well done, if you can't choose it I wouldn't, well
00:40done I wouldn't have it.
00:41Seeing that, I've booked Sunday dinner and I know they do fish so I always pick fish before beef.
00:46I actually don't like Yorkshire puddings so I don't actually have them.
00:49The debate, even Christmas, you have to have Yorkshire puddings on a Christmas dinner, Yorkshire puddings or Louie.
00:54No we don't, that's too much on the plate.
00:57Who cares, if you want a Yorkshire pudding then select one from the Yorkshire pudding dish and if you don't
01:04want a Yorkshire pudding then don't have one.
01:06So I just think that people should lighten up and go with what they enjoy.
01:10I make it probably weak and watery but if my husband makes it it's a lot thicker so he makes
01:15the gravy.
01:16I like a thick gravy, a very meaty gravy as well and I don't put much on, it all depends
01:25on the food.
01:27But there is a saying isn't there, northern girls love gravy.
01:29I have one of them.
01:29They were together before being a native pot and loườher.
01:29So it's because a little bit of a deal.
01:30Okay.
