Actually, there are of course roast dinners and roast dinners. I was part of that class and generation brought up on egg and chips, fish fingers, etc. during the week and a Sunday roast. Unfortunately, my mother, God bless 'er, was not the most gifted cook you could have asked for in a mother. Overcooked beef and overboiled vegetables. Yum...
However, once I was old enough to realise that a nice pink colour and even a bit of red-tinged juice oozing from your joint was not an omen of impending doom and a painful death, that vegetables could be boiled for just a couple of minutes, leaving them nice and crispy, that cauliflower didn't have to be smothered in powdered bread sauce, that pepper was a pleasing spice and not sneezing powder, that Dijon mustard helped to bring out the flavour of the meat (unlike Coleman's English, which was clearly a byproduct of WW2 biological warfare experiments) and that Bisto could be enhanced by the juice from a perfectly cooked joint, I came to appreciate one of the greatest pleasures in life, and one in which I am not ashamed to admit I frequently indulge - mastur a Sunday roast! I had a perfect leg of lamb the other day, cooked in my 999 baht turbo oven (thanks Nereus!) and am still enjoying it cold with salad and in sandwiches. Life is most definitely not a bitch.
I think it is you who is the Philistine.

Re: Sunday Roast!
I guess the lamb would have cost 3 or 4 times the cost of the turbo oven! Are you sure it was "lamb". I have a mongrel Land Rover to keep and cannot afford lamb. I looked at some chops recently, but at 1540 Baht / Kg they are still where I saw them!...........

NZ leg of lamb from Makro comes in around B600 last time I looked!
Enjoying 'Retirement'....So many jobs to do, I don't know how I ever had time to work!
Re: Sunday Roast!
Lamb fore shanks are about 320 per kilo and hind shanks about 350 per kilo at Makro.
Nereus, you can get far cheaper lamb chops at the frozen food wholesaler located a few meter from the main drag on the road that leads to Springfield Golf Course. They will ask you how many chops you want, and also how thick you want them, so no need to buy more than what you actually want. They supply most of the large hotels in Hua-Hin, including the Chiva Som and etc so quality can't be too bad, and you can choose between NZ lamb and Ausie lamb. I also buy all my beef mince there but I buy Thai beef mince because it's half the price of imported beef mince and it's just as good in my opinion.
There is no actual shop there, but rather a sort of warehouse and a sales office. Ask for a price list and then order whatever it is you need.

Re: Sunday Roast!
For info, we bought frozen bone-in leg of lamb (NZ) from Makro yesterday at 285 bt per kg. (2.36 kg 670 bt)
As I'm the only one who eats it, the butcher chops it in half for us. Still plenty left from each half for sandwiches.

This is the way
Re: Sunday Roast!
This thread is about where to get Sunday roasts in Hua Hin restaurants, not where to go shopping for meat. Thanks.

Just had Sunday Roast at Buffalo Bills, 290 Baht plus drinks, roast potatoes overdone and rock hard, 50% of roast pork was fat. Rating 5/10.

Re: Sunday Roast in Hua Hin
I notice the Palm Bistro now offers 3 kinds of meat in combo at their Sunday Roast Lunch. Before it wa always a combination of two, with alternating combinations on a rolling basis.

Re: Sunday Roast in Hua Hin
I used to buy honey-glazed parsnips for my Sunday Roast at Tesco in the UK, can one get these at Tesco in Thailand. I must admit I have forgotten to enquire and I am not in Thailand as I speak.
