14:04 absolutely right. I would say some people mistake a roast to be about the meats. This is incorrect. It's *all* about the roast potatoes. A roast dinner has finished cooking once the roast potatoes are fresh out of the oven, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. You time your vegetables and gravy around the roasts. They are the centrepiece

always beef dripping, or lard, goose fats just not it. slow roast to soak up the goodness and then crank the heat at the end, bliss. about the size of half a cricket ball or a quartered sandwich, cut with a serated knife tilted a bit for them rough edges. its an art.
For me, what males these episodes so great is the chemistry between you two.

This Food Tours spin-off gives me so much joy. I think as they run out of chains between the US and UK, they should start showcasing more cultures and differnet types of foods... spin it off even further and make it the main series. Joe and Harry are extremely charismatic and I think most of us will watch anything they put out together. The world is so incredibly diverse wtih so many different cultures, food types, etc.... long-term I hope Insider goes with this idea.

Not sure if Harry knew but Fallow have their own KZread channel tor this restaurant. Great POV cooking content! (also their whole menu is fantastic)
Fun fact: Yorkshire puddings used to be used as plates (they would be cooked large & flat) and would be eaten after the rest of the meal was eaten off of it. The point of the Yorkshire was to give people something very filling and above all cheap to eat - coupled with lots of cheap vegetables it would fill you up so you wouldn't want to eat too much of the expensive meat when you couldn't afford to buy much at all.

Whilst a British Sunday roast is basically meat potatoes and veg it's just those basic components done so well. A delicious tradition.
Surely Hawksmoor needed to be included on this list when talking about the best roast in London.

I was always taught to leave the Yorkshire until last on a Sunday Dinner. Leave the best until last as they say. Can't believe that isn't normal 😅
Best one I've watched of you both. I just love watching people eat whilst describing the food. Nailed it with this one. Love a Sunday roast.

Harry says i can be a table manners snob, after touching Joes food three times with his hands 😂😂😂 at Fallow
I feel like these two have shared a meal more than my wife and I have lol. That roast looked absolutely amazing.
One of the best things about Sunday roast that can’t come through in this format is that you have to have it in the afternoon, not at lunch. 2-4 or 5pm is best with lots of beer or wine. No dinner then needed, early to bed. A heavenly Sunday.
My families strange addition to sunday roasts was...... Homemade (from scratch) mushy peas. SO NICE! Really works with everything.

Always watch these two, can't believe Old Queens Head popped up (basically my local and my office is above it). Glad you tried ❤
We really do a disservice to ourselves here in the states not doing roast potatoes more often. In the south you basically grow up eating baked potatoes or mashed potatoes, that's it, and once you've had a perfectly cooked roast potato, nothing else even comes close.
As a Scottish person, Sundays for my first eighteen years consisted of a full Scottish for brunch (after Church) and then a roast in the evening.

I think I'd need about 3 jugs of that gravy at the start!
When I worked in a pub the best part of the week was the Sunday roast I got on the Sunday afternoon. Like Sunday is the worst day possible- constantly busy all day and are place was always short staffed. But it was all worth it knowing I’ll get a mountain of meat, roasties, veg and as many yorkies as I wanted (often took them home cold and freezed them as otherwise they were thrown out). Then when the bosses would go the kitchen staff would give us Oreo and Nutella or banoffee waffles (also to take home) or cheesecake. As a Brit, I don’t trust anyone who says they don’t like a roast dinner and they became a staple of my week
