I've never been lucky enough to try salt marsh or Gloucester Old Spot but I've read lots about both. My word I need a proper Sunday roast today but we are busy and it won't happen unless I do it.Though ahhhm oot, so will be having a wild boar/gloucester old spot cross pork spare rib roast for lunch today.
Mmmmm crackling.

Crikey! A half veggie so militant she stops you eating what you like?
She's not militant at all, but if we are going to cook a roast it may as well be one we can both eat! There's plenty of scope for red meat in restaurants, or when she's out.Er indoors is vegetablist.
Just requires a bit more effort, in so far as cooking two meals and some of the veg seperate to the meat.
Rib of beef (local farmer)
Leg of lamb from a friend who has a smallholding
Leg of pork from another friend with a smallholding)
Free range chicken (another local farmer)
Until the last couple of years, I wouldn't have guessed that being able to handle the animals while they are alive and seeing the way they are kept makes a qualitative difference to the 'value' of the meat, but it does.

So you have to modify your diet to suit her, but she won't do the same? Talk about selfish!
I really haven't explained this very well! Though in theory a 'fish and chicken' vegetable, she'll happily stretch to game, duck, pork, or rabbit if that is what I fancy; she just cannot tolerate beef or lamb. She isn't a militant on which pan stuff was cooked in. So, we could have a meal where I cook a steak and she has chicken/fish and we split the rest, but it just doesn't seem worth it- when she goes out I'll stay in and have 'red meat night', especially if the local farmers' market is open that day. There seems even less point in cooking two roasts at the same time: I'm quite fond of 'Beer butt chicken', and anyway I'd get bored with the inevitable beef sandwiches for the rest of the week.
Seriously, I'm not being force-fed nutroast.
Clearer?
