SUNDAY IS A day of rest allegedly, but not if you’re the one tasked with cooking the Sunday roast.
The pressure is on and the heat is up. So we’ve come to the rescue with some foolproof tips and tricks to make this Sunday roast the best one ever.
First things first – you have to start with the perfect recipe. Hopefully yours has been handed down the generations but just in case it wasn’t, we’ve got a pretty easy, spectacularly tasty roast lamb (with rosemary and garlic) recipe right here.
Preparation is key – get those potatoes and carrots peeled first thing and you’ll be away in a hack.
Roast potatoes are compulsory of course, and par-boiling them for five minutes, giving them a shake in the saucepan before dousing them in very hot oil and whacking them in the oven will give you the crispiest roastie you’ve ever had in your life.
The side dishes are where you can get fancy or keep things traditional.
Honey-glazed roasted carrots sound like a lot of work, but here’s how easy it is:
Couldn’t be easier. You could even chuck in a few parsnips for good measure.
Some peas add a little colour, a jug of gravy and you’re done!

The most apposite satirical programme for British political events in the aftermath of Brexit is actually the most timeless of them all: ‘Yes, Minister’. There should be re-runs of ‘Yes, Minister’ on RTE and the BBC (or Virgin Media and Gold) right now.
It encapsulates the attitudes and mentality of all the players, even today, so well. From a prime minister who only wants to survive and who has been captured by the civil service; to prominent backbenchers who are pretending to be acting only on principle, but in reality have fuelled opposition to the only deal that would actually take the UK out of the European Union just to further their own ambitions to enter 10 Downing Street.
@J. Reid: Sir Humphrey makes a great case to leave the EU though…
Sounds brilliant. Break a leg with it.
In fairness I post a lot of crap must the time, but I strongly think we can all agree that 99.9% of politicians pretty much has their own personal agenda behind every piece of crap that comes out of their mouths , they don’t really fight for the People
Thanks for bringing that show to our attention, I will be sure to avoid it
All politicians only ever speak a “load of cock and bull”, to clarify, how do you know when a politician lies? (S)he opens their mouth to speak.
Take the word British out of your article headline …….. now you’ve got a show !
If you believe a word that comes out of any politicians mouth, more fool you. The entire political system, in Ireland, the Uk and US was built for a horse and cart economy. We are living in a new world now. Time for a new system!
Cock. That is all.
@Arthur Pewty: What about Leo, it mentions Irish politicians too and he talks sense most of the time
have your say
