Does cauliflower cheese belong on a roast dinner? on 15:05 - Oct 31 by wkj
I mean, the only way gravy can take away the flavour of the meat is if someone is using straight up bisto with water, or worse - oxo.
Make a trivet, strain the veg through the sieve, add the meat fat... you're reclaiming your meat's flavour!
In fairness to BlueBluex2 I would count cauliflower cheese as part of a roast dinner if it was just cauliflower cheese and the cheese had been roasted to the point of a slight but noticeable browning on the surface - but no gravy in that instance.
Chicken can be roasted so why can it not be a roast dinner? - see also turkey.
I do get fussy over gravy though - just a modest amount and only over vegetables that I am not keen on or am indifferent to. I would tolerate gravy being applied to the base, but not all over, the meat. And never, ever, never anywhere near the roast potatoes.

The trick is in the proper roasting of the cauli prior to cheese application, imo. A good roasting totally transforms an otherwise unremarkable veg into something of gastronomic excellence.
Turkey is a swizz of a meat. I know I'll have Bernard's top boys knocking for saying it but it's usually dry, flavourless and expensive. Duck, on the other hand, is king of the meats, in my humble onion. Succulent and flavourful as the yanks would say.
Your views on gravy are suspect.

Your onion on duck is a good onion. Duck and lamb my favourites.
Cauli and broccoli - mixed or by themselves are lovely with a nice cheese sauce to pour over them. Gravy, rich, dark and made from stock (never, ever just bistro) is essential to any roast dinner.
That's a very good and important question. I have to confess it's something that I've not given the thought it clearly deserves. Personally I think I would give it a lash

It’s not a roast without cauliflower cheese.
However, whilst I am here, chicken does not constitute a ‘roast’ Gravy also has no place. I actually went to taste the meat I just cooked.

I agree with you on the gravy....having just spent however long rustling up an awesome roast with many tasty components I am not going to then make all those things taste exactly the same. Might as well put it on all in the blender if you're just going to pour gravy on it.
By rustling up I of course mean standing in the que at the carvery
