A Sunday Roast, also known as a 'roast dinner' of 'roast with all the trimmings', is a popular dish in the United Kingdom; indeed, where the meat to be roasted in beef, it is considered the [[national dish]] of [[England]].
A Sunday roast consists of a joint of roasted meat - beef, lamb, pork; or a roast chicken or turkey - served with 'the trimmings':roast or boiled potatoes, peas, carrots, green vegetables (cabbage is a popular choice, or sprouts in winter) and gravy. Specific accompaniments are served according to the type of meat chosen: horseradish sauce with pork; mint sauce with lamb; apple sauce and stuffing with pork (which should also be accompanied by ''crackling'' - crispy baked pork rind); stuffing and cranvberry sauce with chicken and turkey.
Sunday roasts are a welcome opportunity for families to get together, and are also popular at other celebratory occasions (not necessarily on a Sunday). Political luncheons often feature the humorously-named 'ruber chicken' roast. Medieval themed restaurants often put on a spit roast - a joint of meatcooked by slow rotation on a spit over an open fire. By tradition, spit roasts are popular with professional footballers to celebrate a good victory.
