The UK is such a small place regionalism probly is not the issue it is
in the US.

In many parts of the US the classic Sunday dinner was a chicken dinner.

However in the North East a boiled dinner was often prepared for sundays
in such a way as to obviate the need for cooking on the sabbath.

And in the American south gumbos, Brunswick stew (boys had all day
saturday to catch the squirrels catfish (shudder), sunday pork loin.

But such 'sunday' dinners are really more a thing of the past these day,
just not the big deal in the US as it was even in my youth in the 1950's
in the pacific northwest where sunday dinner was more seasonal.

A sunday ham was often started by me mum on friday or saturday to be
served in the afternoon on sunday. And that primarily, as i recall,
cause church services lasted so long the food was prepared in advance so
as to only need be warmed and served.

Twenty or thirty years ago I'd have said roasted or fried
chicken.
Then many mothers went to work full time and wanted a little
less
effort, fuss, and bother on the weekend. Can't blame them.

Are you being snide when you cite the burger? It sounds
like it to me.
If American men want Sunday roasts, let them do some of the
cooking.

There's no sarcasm, you are simply paranoid. In the US Sunday dinner is
very likely to be burgers, especially grilled outdoors in mild weather.

Today it's from KFC. Nowadays few US families do Sunday dinner... they eat
catch as catch can... and the few times a year they manage to all eat as a
family they go somewhere like Olive Garden, or more likely call in a
pizza... and then one eats in front of their pc, another on their cell, and
the rest on separate tvs... all in different rooms. I seriously doubt it's
any different in the UK. Yoose view too many Norman Rockwells.

You shudder at the thought of eating catfish, but the idea
of eating squirrels gets a pass? Gosh, Beave, that's kinda
goofy.

What's your objection to catfish? It has such a mild flavor,
I can't imagine why anyone would dislike it.

Time to say it again! I try catfish once every year or two because
someone says it is good and always come to the same conclusion; it
tastes like mud!

The best thing that can happen to squirrels is being cooked :-)

Nope. being shot and left where they lay is best.

My ex used to put unshelled peanuts on the deck for them to eat ("they're so
cute!") and I'd swear it became a part of their genetic makeup across
generations to hang around looking for more!

Best,

THe problem i have with most fish, but especially cat fish, is that it
tastes like fish.

Squirrel on the other hand taste like rabbit, which tastes like chicken
albeit a slightly gamy chicken.

Sorry, I skipped that paragraph. Oops.

You want mud??? Try a Geno's or Pat's Philly cheesesteak.

WILL TRADE FOR CATFISH!!!

I casseroled rabbits last night, newly shot by my David! I browned them in
olive oil, with onions and garlic. I reduced the sauce with red wine and
cooked them slowly with tomatoes and thyme!

Delicious!

Hehe but at this season, BBQ is real common.

This sounds true to me. Not that they dont have regions, but the whole
thing is about the size of Florida right? More regional perhaps than
Florida but your post sorta shows it.

Still is. Thats when Mom has time (or Dad in today's world) to fire up the
rotisserie or just stuff and bake one.

Or in my area, a huge batch of greens and corn with a dried bean pot and
sausage or smoked ham.

I grew up with fish on Saturday from the 'ketchin's' of the day. Brunswick
stew variations were common for Sunday (often using chicken, possum, and
leftover fish from Saturday).

In fact, I'm making up a batch now for tomorrow. No possum, but I got 'nuff
stuff to make a sort of brunswick stew in the crockpot.

This is true. It's shifted and now it's more apt to be a Saturday meal and
Sunday is 'Mom's getting ready for work' regular meal.

;-) Church services got shorter.

Common here, happening tomorrow: Local neighbors coming over on Sunday for
some good food and chatter. One of them had a big mess of local fish which
Don is cleaning. We are gonna grill them whole (cleaned) with a little leek
and rice filling.

Another has a mess of corn in husk, frozen so not perfect but will work.
He's gonna soak them a bit and bring them over for the grill.

I'm mixing up a brunswick stew and a side dish of oniony-non-sweet coleslaw.

Dunno what others bring yet. I'll find out as the day goes along or as they
arrive tomorrow.

Heh, squirrels are nothing but furry-tailed tree rats! And pests at
that! Sure they're cute, but not when they decide an attic is an ideal
abode and nursery! Now if only I could use .22 shot shells to take care
of the critters, but there's some sort of city code or rule that says
"no can do." Not sure that I'd want to dress, cook, and eat squirrel
however. If circumstances were such that food was very scarce, I'm sure
I'd change my mind.

Sky, ever the carnivore

I thought squirrel tastes like rabbit which tastes like rattlesnake
which tastes like chicken.

Maybe you could cure and cold-smoke it, and call it squircon. Or
bacrrel.

I love catfish personally, but Christy always said it tasted like dirt. She
did enjoy my homemade catfish a couple of times, but she couldn't stomach
restaurant fare.

It's not really equivalent, but the traditional Thanksgiving feast is
one of the best things the USA has to offer.
Turkey, stuffed with sage-onion stuffing
Gravy, gizzards and hearts, OK, but feed the liver to the cat
Corn
Mashed potatoes
Cranberry sauce
Perhaps green beans--but not in a matrix of condensed soup and topped
off with canned onion horror.


I just bought some classic dishes. I got a few old Corning Ware items
on eBay.
