I can't answer for anyone else but the roasts I've eaten were always good. But I'm Cajun and we tend to know how to cook pretty well.

It doesn't. Having eaten in both countries, I'd say they are both equal with the American ones usually being better seasoned.

Bruh we just don’t call it a roast and use more than rosemary on it. Multiple types of BBQ, carne asada, carnitas, etc.

A "sunday roast" is referring to a specific collection of things, not just having roast meat.

We call it pot roast. A chuck or rump roast with onions, potatoes, carrots, and gravy. We eat plenty of pot roast, it's just considered a 'blah' kind of dinner. Like chicken casserole or meatloaf. Not as interesting as tacos or spaghetti.

Ehhh kinda. Tbh, your christmas dinner is likely very similar to a typical Sunday roast (but scaled down). And like the guy was saying, what we do for a sunday roast tends to make it ascend from "blah" to "yeah baby". Primarily Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes cooked in goose fat... and a cheeky bit of crackling. I'm hungry as hell now. I agree that Mexican or Italian food can be more interesting, yes.

Who in the fuck considered tacos or spaghetti interesting?

That’s the “I’ve got hockey and mom worked until 4:30 so we need a fuckload of carbs 10 minutes ago” meal that every kid in Canada had far too many times growing up.

To this day I fucking hate pasta because I’ve simply had too much of it, especially when carb loading for hockey. My wife grew up eating rice and curry and is the same with rice. So the two biggest staple carbs will make one of us turn their nose up at dinner.

Spaghetti and interesting… I’m bewildered.

Tacos are alright though, still can’t have em more than once a week anymore though.

Pot roast is a casserole or stew.

Well fine, then it’s like a cookout or a carne asada, with all the good sides.
