Growing up (in the U.S.), my mother made a prime rib roast and Yorkshire pudding for Christmas eve every year. We all looked forward to this, even as a picky eater.
People don’t realise that a lot of British food they say looks ugly and bland is often food that only people could afford during the Industrial Revolution in the north and when we had to ration during the war, some of those foods stuck around as we could only really eat out of tins but also our best foods came from that age such as fish and chips which was originally an affordable meal for the working class and was served in newspapers to save on cost, it was loved so much by Winston Churchill it was the only food not rationed during the war. Sunday Roasts, Beef Wellingtons, Full English Breakfast. It’s hearty food that got us through wars and rough weather and tastes absolutely amazing, it makes me proud 🇬🇧
Chilis and pepper were first imported into Britain in the C16th. South Asian restaurants have been in Britain since the C18th. And British adapted South Asian has been widespread since in the 1970s. Most Americans do not own passports and have no idea what the food outside their own state tastes like.
@@kkpenney444 Do you actually have a point to make? Only about 40% of Americans own passports. Eleven percent have never left their home state. Fifty four percent have visited 10 states or fewer.
@@realhorrorshow8547 I am raising these points respectfully. England/The United Kingdom (we were not always United) have imported foreign herbs, spices, foods & drinks for many centuries. There are import records (for trade) & records from Royal courts (for consumption of the King) of this. The 1st Indian restaurant in Britain was actually in the 19th Century (I Googled this), I believed it was actually Verasamy (1926) but I was wrong. Yes only around 45% of US citizens have passports, but this is still around 160 million people. You must look at this information in context. Why do people travel? (Main reasons) 1. Holiday/Vacation 2. Family reasons 3. Business Most travel for regular people is for holiday/vacation. The US is so large with every type of geography & climate, when people are going on holiday why would one (unless wanting to visit a particular region) need to leave the US? So a passport is not needed to travel domestically.
agreed. nothing better...I would add........ going with my husband and another couple as well. We have done that in the past and what a delightful experience indeed.
The American criticism of bland and boring food is from when the American Armed Forces were stationed here during World War 2 and we had very severe rationing due to losing our food supply from around the world.
British food is not bland or boring. It has some of the most rich, complex, and subtle flavours anywhere. Now, a few of us Indians (like Mr. Tamil Crown at 4:49) may not fully appreciate it because South Asian cuisine is stronger on flavours by comparision. I love classic British food. Not bland. Not boring. Period.
@@sanjaymanohar9482 Those are indeed classic dishes that can be made well. However, they are basic dishes that can be found elsewhere. Hachis de parmentier, being the French equivalent of a shepherd's pie, for example. Wheat based foods are also found in many countries, and there is nothing particularly "complex" about the dishes you mention. Quite the reverse, dishes like pie and mash come from a working-class culture, and it has its value and appeal precisely because of its simplicity, and not for its complexity or richness. I don't think there is anything wrong with that, and it is not inherently worse than a michelin 3 star French dishes. I think we can all appreciate different foods at different times without arguing which is better
I grew up in Manningham, Bradford. I was brought up on Sunday roast, but also used to my friend's home cooked South Asian food. When at my my friend's uncle's home in Paris, his German aunt could not make chapati and served fresh French bread with the curry. When I toured US, I stayed with a family with a Yorkshire mum and dad who had ancestors there before the English speakers. Ham and mushy peas or roast with Yorkshire pudding were on the menu, but I helped prepare traditional "Tex Mex" food, much better than the stuff in chain restaurants. Note, It is not a surprise to see chili con carne served in a large Yorkshire pudding in pubs in the UK these days, or curry for that matter. Mind you, the chili might include baked beans, which is something I add to bulk it out.
Indian flavors influencing British food is like Mexican or Italian flavors influencing American food. With time it all melds together and becomes greater than the sum of its parts
There is a food truck/cart somewhere in London that serves a giant Yorkie wrapped around the elements of a Sunday Roast. That is the one I dream of, from houston, texas. Both of these dinners looked amazing!😋
Rubbish. I’ve always poured mine straight after mixing, the only time I didn’t they failed. Think logically the mix is full of air when just mixed. Making it lighter and easier to rise. I also use muffin tins as they get forced to explode at the top giving a lighter and less heavy yorkie.
Outdated to comment about British food being bland nowadays, it was from the start of WW2 till the 80s, but it's been 40 years and people are still saying it's bland - it's only bland if you don't put the effort in, like every food from every other country to be frank
Unfortunately, bad reputations are difficult to shake off. Gordon Ramsay helped tremendously. Also, doesn't help when your neighbor is France. Keep up the Public Relations. On another note, just learned today that India has 3 cities that are considered clean.
I mean….if you think about it….it is pretty bland. A sunday roast can be cooked beautifully, meat at the right temp, perfect crunch on the yorkshire pudding, perfect potatoes….but what is it served with? A light gravy. There’s no spice/heat/herbs, sweetness or acidity. It’s one note: savory/salt. That’s why British food is bland. It’s not that it’s cooked terribly, but there’s not much going on in terms of flavor other than the ingredients itself.
@@FlyBoyMT That is just not true. A beautifully, properly cooked roast dinner will have sweetness and acidity at play in the correct amounts for the dish, and appropriate herbs and spices in the gravy. Flavourful. The fact that you would call something like that 'bland' shows you don't really understand flavour at all.
Thank you for this story! Less than a month ago, my wife and I visited England for the first time ever, including five nights in London. It’s now five days before election day and I welcome this heartfelt distraction.
British food isn't bland and isn't boring, and I mean traditional British food not Asian or Asian influenced food, nice though that may be. The spectre of strict rationing and lack of choice during WW2 keeps perpetuating a myth that our food is tasteless rubbish, which just isn't true.
@@N1120AFirst of all, I'd like to say that I love mushy peas - they're almost the 'national dish' in the city I'm from. But it's interesting that you write off British food as "tasteless rubbish" but then endorse mushy peas which are a pretty bland affair.
@chrisaskin6144 peas are an ingredient with a naturally excellent flavor and actually get seasoned, plus they are one of the few products that still grow in exceptional quality on Great Britain. Battered fish and gravy covered meats are definitely bland and boring and scream of poor technique. There are some great British cheeses, but that's also an ingredient instead of a recipe. Mushy peas, ploughmans with Branstons pickle and that's about where it ends. At least you guys colonized India for hundreds of years.
Sorry America, but Tom Kerridge is not the acknowledged master of the British Sunday Roast. He’s a Michelin star chef (so very good). He took a British pub and turned it in to a restaurant.

@@pplesandoranges this isn't true, it's one of the national dishes. There are tons of them like this Sunday roast, fish and chips, apple crumble, pie and mash, full English, beef wellington, cornish pasties. The list goes on
My family Sunday roast is as my Nan taught me. No change here. Gastro pub roasts aren’t family roasts, they are nice but not what we have at home….rarely anyway 🤷♀️
I remember when chicken curry beat out fish and chips. I lived in England for a few years, and to me having an Indian restaurant on what seemed like every corner was heaven. I grew up in Washington, DC without a single Indian restaurant, but I absolutely adore Indian cuisine. Other than the pastries, teas and high tea after my first year I completely avoided traditional British dishes.😅 My husband on the other hand loved them.
Can you imagine how peed off Americans would get if they only way to explain to foreigners was to orientate everything from New York, as the perception is this is the only one they had heard of or visted.
I used to always make a dual version of a Sunday roast, making both meat and vegetarian versions of the Yorkshires, roast potatoes and gravy for vegetarian Family members
I have been eating roast dinners all my life and I am in my 50s. It was not anything extra special, delicious but I am 2nd generation French American and living in New England. Other ethnicities around here also make roast dinners. Nothing bland about it.
Can’t nobody cook Roasts like Black Church Mothers on a Sunday 👀😂. Okay British, now I see why my late grandma in Mississippi use to serve roast on Sunday being a housekeeper for a wealthy White woman. It came from you’ll. I’ll never forget Mrs. Perkins who took care of my grandma with only a 3rd grade education, who had to drop out of school and take care of her brothers and sisters, which she put me through Morehouse College 🥲🙏🏿🌎💙.
When I was a child on a few occasions when visiting my home on a Sunday, my (white) mates would have a traditional English Sunday roast along with my family. My St Lucian mum would always cook the meat with seasoning, would make wonderful crunchy roast potatoes and nice gravy. Very often my friends used to say it tasted better than what they were used to having!
It is changing but far more subtly than this, people are ditching an element of the tradition, when I was a kid stuffing was only served with chicken, Yorkshire's with beef, mustard only on the table with beef, potatoes and veg tended to be boiled, now it's just eat what you like rather than what the older generation told us goes together, plus more roasted veg and experimenting with flavours, spicing carrots, rubs on the meats, slow cooking, different fats and cooking techniques on roast potatoes, it's changed a lot without changing at all
I love Indian food and that curry and flatbread looks delicious but it's got nothing to do with Sunday Roast. It's not an 'interesting take on Sunday Roast', it's a completely seperate meal
American 7th verse clue what a Yorkshire pudding is, since to us, pudding resembles British custard. Yorkshire pudding is what we would call popovers, only on a bit larger scale. Popovers are made in muffin tins, while the Yorkshire pudding is made in something several inches larger. It also reminds me a bit of Dutch babies, which I make in my smallest cast iron skillets.
This is disingenuous! The Tamil roast is a fad and is only served in one pub. The Great British roast dinner is tasty and is cooked with lots of herbs. In some dishes that make up the roast, there are even spices such as mace and nutmeg, which we have been putting in our dishes since 330 AD.
My dad, who is British, used to cook the Sunday roast every Sunday with potatoes, peas, gravy and Yorkshire pudding. I never realized it was a British thing. Duh. lol.
Give me the classic roast everyday!
I can’t , sorry
Spicy Curry is an evening cuisine not a Lunch time meal
Doesn’t matter what version of a Sunday roast you eat, what matters is who you eat it with

Adore Sunday roasts……especially in a cosy pub with open fire and a glass of red wine! Heaven. ❤
I experienced this tradition when I visited England in April and long to be back.
I’m in Liverpool England and I’ve just finished a Sunday roast (beef). Best meal of the week

Wonderful segment of British food which is quite underrated. Love ❤️ Dana & Michelle, they are so real and relatable
Significant in the story is that the British only roll out their best cuisine on their 'Day of Rest'. The British are a very INDUSTRIOUS people.
British cuisine is underrated😂😂😂😂
Really love where the British food scene is heading, so many great farm to table quality restaurants
As a student in Yorkshire I really looked forward to the Sunday meal ! The chef is superb
I’m an American who has been obsessed with wanting to try British food since watching. 2 Fat Ladies in the late 90s.
If you're ever in the UK visit Garstang in Lancashire. The pubs there serve the best Sunday roasts in country.
There is a channel on YT by a guy called John Kirkwood....he has lots of UK traditional dishes.
@@adamdaniel5119 Good channel. I made his pork pie the other day. Came out beautiful.
Come over and try, best weather usually June.
Making any of those things at home really isn't hard. And Yorkshire Pudding is just what we call a Popover.

It is changing but far more subtly than this, people are ditching an element of the tradition, when I was a kid stuffing was only served with chicken, Yorkshire's with beef, mustard only on the table with beef, potatoes and veg tended to be boiled, now it's just eat what you like rather than what the older generation told us goes together, plus more roasted veg and experimenting with flavours, spicing carrots, rubs on the meats, slow cooking, different fats and cooking techniques on roast potatoes, it's changed a lot without changing at all
I love Indian food and that curry and flatbread looks delicious but it's got nothing to do with Sunday Roast. It's not an 'interesting take on Sunday Roast', it's a completely seperate meal
Good on CBS for highlighting the Indian interpretation of this 'Imperial Tradition'.
Didnt know Herc from The Wire is a British Chef
Yep, my exact thought.
Oh Sheeeeeeeeeeeit partner 😂
Herc did like to eat.
good one! Never noticed that about Tom Kerridge before.
American 7th verse clue what a Yorkshire pudding is, since to us, pudding resembles British custard. Yorkshire pudding is what we would call popovers, only on a bit larger scale. Popovers are made in muffin tins, while the Yorkshire pudding is made in something several inches larger. It also reminds me a bit of Dutch babies, which I make in my smallest cast iron skillets.
In my house, roast dinner every Sunday.
This is disingenuous! The Tamil roast is a fad and is only served in one pub. The Great British roast dinner is tasty and is cooked with lots of herbs. In some dishes that make up the roast, there are even spices such as mace and nutmeg, which we have been putting in our dishes since 330 AD.
Omg I gotta find a place that sells “Sunday Roast” dinners here in NYC 🤤🤤
Open one and make a fortune
Come visit Old York, we know how to do them over here.😂
Just make one at home...
I think the Irish pubs will serve it. And there’s no doubt there must be an English pub in the world’s most exciting city!
Tom will be on USA tv soon 😂😂
Check out the price for Sunday lunch. That will give you indigestion, and max out your credit card 😂

You do know the majority of the UK 🇬🇧 are in council housing or public housing as you call it .
My dad, who is British, used to cook the Sunday roast every Sunday with potatoes, peas, gravy and Yorkshire pudding. I never realized it was a British thing. Duh. lol.
Today it was roast pork shoulder. Delicious!
@04:24 Lady chewing with her mouth open; hate that.
it’s pronounced past-tea. They’re originally from Cornwall.
At least that roast doesn’t look cooked to death.
Tamil makkkale vanakam 🙏🏼… I don’t know should be proud as a Indian or cultural disaster in UK but it’s good to see a South Indian cuisine up here.
Mint sauce on every roast dinner for me.
Surely the mint sauce is for roast lamb and horseradish sauce for beef🤔
@@funkg For me it isn’t a roast dinner without mint sauce, doesn’t matter which meat I have.
That has sod all to do with a Sunday roast. This is the eat out version, not the weekly get the family round the table version.
I just love roast
5:58 she obviously never heard of a Nut Roast
I would prefer the traditional roast beef for Sunday.
🇬🇧 London viewer here……..That’s the biggest Yorkshire Pudding I’ve ever seen. Sunday lunch served INSIDE your YP 🧐 Ah Rich Folk!
