Predicatble and boring Sunday Roast

[Glocko]

In line with a good number of the populous my Sunday fayre has become a bit boring.
Most weeks Glocko's gourmet galley rustles up a tasty roast but I think I need a twist.
Whether it's chicken, pork & crackling, beef or lamb, the accompaniments are invariably, roasties, mash, carrots & turnip, cabbage and gravy.
What would you do different?
Today I've just put a big free range chicken in the oven but think I'll serve it with cauli cheese, hasselbacks, carrot batons and make a good gravy from the carcass. That still sounds boring though!
You have 2 hours and 15 minutes at gas mark 7 to come up with alternatives!

That all sounds perfect to me.

Although I do like baked haggis as an accompaniment to a roast, especially if it's pork or beef.

An idea for chicken would be onions, halved and baked with a knob of butter plus some fresh thyme leaves over.

How about cauliflower cheese? This place http://www.priory-hotel.com/cuisine.phpserves it with their Sunday roasts and it's bloody delicious!

Good roast meat can never be boring.

When it starts to get warmer I think an inexhaustible supply of french bread and a nice salad is a pretty good match for roast chicken and beef.

I like a caesar type salad with chicken and a peppery mustardy one with beef

Don't even need to arse about making gravy just mop the juices up with the bread

Baked creamed leeks are nice, very rich though.

I like combined leek & cauliflower cheese, with parmesan breadcrumbs on top

You know what i've got for tea? Crisps. Maybe super noodles as well. Oh and some flat pop.

Give over moaning, lording it with your proper full grownup meals.
