Brunch is not big here.

But Sunday Roasts are. Sunday Roast has some similarities to brunch: it is a long Sunday meal, often including alcohol. However, it is usually later in the day (you wouldn't want beef and potatoes cooked in duck fat first thing would you?) and clearly the food choices are different. It is all savory and no eggs. There are variations (pork roast, nut roast for veggies) and also other things on the menu like risotto. Another big difference is that Sunday roast is more family oriented than brunch. You go to the pub with the kids, and they relax along with the adults and their pints. Its quite nice.

The traditional roast, featured above, is beef, potatoes cooked in fat, yorkshire pudding (a popover like bread), and gravy as far as I am concerned. Bacchus, where Abby, Sean, and I went right around the corner, also added broccoli and a roasted vegetable mash. It was delicious.
