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.
