Sunday roast and Halloween

Today is Sunday, which means we might go for a Sunday roast. We went to a local restaurant last week and this is what I had: one of the fanciest Sunday roasts I had in ages. Sadly service was very slow and it ended up a bit of a frustrating experience. What does this British traditional meal have with Halloween you may ask and why am I making it the topic of today's countdown to Halloween post?  There is a fairly simple reason why: Halloween is associated with both food and autumn and the Sunday roast is a very seasonal meal, being very hearty. You need at least one of these meals to celebrate autumn and the coming of Halloween. Also, because of a more fantasist reason: when you fight the Forces of Darkness, it is not merely a spiritual battle. You need to be physically strong and have plenty of stamina. And what more sustaining than a Sunday roast? Sure, heavy food can give nightmares and make you irrational (see this post). But try ti fight off a zombie, a vampire, a ghoul or what have you on an empty stomach. So think about it today and don't walk in the woods or in a dark alley on an empty stomach.
