i think ruth that the old english sunday dinner tradition has gone-where one time it was put on the table at 12pm or 1pm and if you were not there you missed it and had to do without--whereas now in a lot of home's no-one seems to be bothered what time they eat and what they eat if you put a joint of any kind in front of some of to-day's youth they wouldn't know where to start i dont know what the ladie's on here think about this --it would be nice to find out.Smile

Hi James:

The TV seems to be the downfall of the family sitting down at the table to eat.   I must admit, we've bee guilty of it ourselves.  But I love the old tradition of the Sunday dinner too.  We had a lovely Sunday roast in a pub in Dorset when we were there 2 years ago.

Shire dings and roasties, Karen?

Ah, the two best parts of the meal, along with the parsnips.  As northern dishes go, I'd never heard of mushy peas til we visited N. Yorkshire and I think they're great!
