Sunday Roast

Have got a bit behind so am posting about last Sunday today, have not been eating a roast at this time in the morning and it will probably be quite brief.  With a roast I think its key that all components are correct, if one lets you down then the whole meal is let down.  So will deal with each component separately

1. Strange vegetable bake thing :  Since turning pesky I have been struggling to find something to replace the meat in my roast dinner and I have to say this isn't it.  It was a Tesco thing that I brought and tasted of fake powdered cheese, not nice at all.
2. Roast potatoes:  As usual these were rather good, flavoured with garlic, pepper an lemon.
3. Carrots: Dom only likes raw carrots really so I try to just blanch them with the heat, in this case though she felt they were a little overcooked for her taste buds although I felt they were fine.
4. Broccoli:  One word overcooked, a la carvery style
5. Leeks:  Probably overcooked from an outsiders point of view but all in all the way I like them.
6. Gray:  Ah gravy how I love thee, probably the most important part of the entire meal, the gray and when I say gravy probably more like red wine sauce was pretty good although perhaps didn't have the fullness of flavour that it sometimes can have.

Overall marks were probably a 7.25.  Must do better.
