But seriously i had a roast at an English friends house, have you guys ever heard of slow cooking? Braising? Grilling? Marinating?
Just throwing a roast in boiling water or in the oven for an hour isnt gonna cut it
No, we don’t. Op is talking out of his arse. Or he’s the last surviving member of a platoon that landed at Normandy, talking of his experience of wartime rations.
Thigh of a pig is stuck on a low boil for ages, lid on pot. Maybe bayleaf, black papper, rosemary, thyme, salt etc… but very much lightly seasoned compared to italian food.
The ham comes out with a soft texture, cut it into slices and serve with potatoes, butter, green veg, english mustard, relish, pickle etc… It’s less flavourful than a porkchop but:
You are serving it with powerful flavours anyway
The ham flavour is now all in the water, adding split peas and herbs makes a large quantity of excellent soup which you can heat and eat at your convienence. Finish friday with ham and lunch thoughout the weekend is set.
There is usually ham left over, and this will be cooked again into something like a ommlette, pie or stirfry.
we would not call it a “roast” though, that’s reserved for roasts.
Not sure but my ex used to serve salt beef boiled with carrots potatoes and cabbage all boiled in one pot. It was fine but also very plain and not very flavourful

I was gonna say hey, that’s what I do and mine turns out fine, then googled to see what braising means and apparently that’s what I do with my roasts.
Do you mean the brits just… Straight up boil roasts, fully submerged and without browning firat?
I’m confused with your words. If you are boiling something you can’t be roasting it.

The closest thing my family do is boiled ham:

are you describing like a goulash?
Sounds like eighteenth century peasant food.
You’re welcome to come over and try it, but I can’t help you if you end up in the village stocks.
