I agree. Most Britons would regard a Sunday roast as a lunch thing. That said, language can be an issue - many Brits will call the meal in the middle of the day as “dinner” and the evening meal as “tea”.

I’m not “most Britons” in this case. Our big meal of the week, including roasts, is on Saturday night.

By the by, we were away from home last weekend Went to a restaurant that does Sunday roasts for both lunch and dinner. As indeed, does our local dining pub.

I’ve admired that Pulitzer boat from afar. Looks mighty refined on the inside too.

Do you remember what you ate at Dishoom aside from chilli chicken (yum!) ?

I spy prawns, maybe a chicken kabab, biryani if some sort, and potatoes - with something maybe?

GARLIC NAAN, MURGH MALAI, GUNPOWDER POTATOES, MASALA PRAWNS, the biryani was CHICKEN BERRY BRITANNIA.
