Mit esznek a britek vasárnap? A hagyományos Sunday Roast történetét – és receptjét – is megtaláljátok ebben a leckében!

This is just how Britain’s traditional Sunday roast is supposed to look. What makes it so dear to British hearts?

It’s about wholesomeness, I think.

Having fun with your friends, your family. I can never finish a roast.

It’s not just about the roast, the side dishes are what make this a feast. So, what is the best part of it?

For me, it’s the Yorkshire pudding, because my dad used to make it at home. It’s a good reminder of my childhood as a kid.

The potatoes.

I hate running out of gravy.

Many pubs and restaurants around Britain serve a Sunday roast. In fact, it’s the only item on the menu of the Clapton Country Club in London. Up to 300 portions are dished up here every Sunday.

In London in particular, you get a lot of people that move from outside of London, whether it’s from abroad, whether it’s from other areas in Britain, and so they may not be going back to their mothers or grandmothers for Sunday dinner, so they will go out, so there is a big culture of that happening.

This beloved roast is one of beef. Here’s how to make a tasty one. First, the meat has to be marinated in rosemary, thyme, and garlic. Now I’m going to roll the beef to keep the shape of the beef so that it doesn’t shrink and it doesn’t go explode on one side.

The meat is seared for 10 minutes on each side and then roasted at 125 degrees Celsius for another 45 minutes.

Perhaps the most British part of the Sunday roast is actually the Yorkshire pudding. Everybody has a different recipe and method, the same amount of milk, same amount of whole eggs, and same amount of plain flour, and just mix it in.

But how does the Yorkshire pudding get its shape? The trick is lots of hot grease in the baking dish. That puffs up the batter. That goes for 20 minutes for 170 degrees.

Yorkshire pudding is rather heavy. That used to be a way of avoiding too much expensive meat on the table.

What does it taste like? A little bit stodgy, a bit doughy, and if you get it just right, the perfect level of crisp.

Basically tastes like a fried bread. It doesn’t taste like anything specifically. Almost like a crispy savory pancake, but bigger and fluffier.

Along with cabbage and various other root vegetables, the marinated and oven-baked potatoes are critical to the Sunday roast experience. You can never go wrong with crispy potatoes. Soft on the inside, crispy on the outside. You can’t beat potatoes, roast potatoes, you know.

When and where did the history of the Sunday roast begin?

Roast beef became popular in England under Henry VII during the 15th century. The king provided the yeoman guards at the Tower of London with weekly rations of beef, which gave rise to the nickname beef eaters.

That it became a dish eaten on Sundays has to do with the church. You go to the church on the Sunday morning and then you come back and it was almost like a family get-together, certainly to begin with, socializing after going to church.

For those who love the Sunday roast but don’t eat meat, vegetarian and even vegan options are available, the nut roast for instance, or the vegan strudel beef Wellington style.

Inside we got a mix of truffle, wild mushroom, leek, carrots, onion, we cooked with thyme and rosemary and garlic, and we got a vegan cheese and vegan breadcrumb to bind it, and we cooked it, and we wrap it and we roll it with the pancake and a puff pastry.

Meat or no, one question remains, can a Sunday roast be served up on any other day of the week? I don’t really think you can have a Sunday roast any other day, part of the reason is you have the time on a Sunday.

Absolutely not, that is, no, a Sunday roast has got to be on a Sunday, otherwise it’s not a Sunday roast.

Az ovis, aki hibát talált a pilóták kézikönyvében

You’ll see pilots and airline personnel sharing their love of aviation with kids all the time. And at least once, a kid did them a solid by improving their training manual. Our Byron Reed caught up with that preschooler from Arvada.

You’re on the tips of the wings. Traveling by plane takes you on a journey. Because they get you from place to place a lot faster than a car does. For five-year-old William Hines, I love flying. It’s a mode of transportation that hits home. I don’t have to walk 7,000 miles.

William is a pre-kindergarten student at Campbell Early Learning Center with a passion for flight. That shows them how many degrees the engine is. He’s very mechanically inclined. So, I suppose it was a natural progression to want to know about more fascinating things.

Amber Hines is William’s mom. She says his passion took off thanks to a connection with a Southwest Airlines pilot who brought William a company training manual and sat with him for two hours going over the charts and just talking shop with him. But William noticed something was a little off.

I discovered that two train monitors did not match. They did not match at all. That is closer up and that’s further up. I had no idea that one of our friends had started a job with Southwest Airlines, but she said, “Can I pass these along to my manager?” And I said, “You know, sure, that’s fine.”

That’s when the CEO of the Airlines found out, then invited William and his family to Dallas for a VIP tour. So, we went down to headquarters. It was amazing. Everyone there was very, very welcoming and, um, we definitely had the tour of a lifetime.

I got to go in a simulator and the simulator pilot was crashing. showing how close. It’s an experience this family will always remember. That heats up the cockpit. Because of William’s attention to detail, that might land him in a career he already loves.

Then I can support people to a place. For next. Like 140 people. I’m Byron Reed.

McDonald’s és a betiltott karácsonyi reklám – de miért?

Viewers were not loving it. McDonald's has taken down a Christmas ad that was allegedly entirely produced with artificial intelligence. After the brand was slammed with an onslaught of backlash from unhappy customers.

The 45-second advertisement for McDonald's Netherlands was first posted on their YouTube channel on December 6th and was removed just a few days later on December 9th, following the outcry online. In the video, AI-generated people are constantly experiencing strokes of bad luck. With chaotic family dinners, shopping woes, burnt cookies, failed Christmas tree decorating, and so on.

McDonald's unveiled what has to be the most god-awful ad I've seen this year, worse than Coca-Cola's. The ad is set to a song to the tune of "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" but the made-up lyrics are the song's antidote, calling the holiday season the most terrible time of the year. It's the most terrible time of the year. The commercial ends by telling viewers to hide out in McDonald's until January's here. And hide out in McDonald's till January's here.

After the harsh criticism, McDonald's initially turned off comments on the YouTube video before removing it completely. McDonald's Netherlands told the BBC that the video was meant to reflect the stressful moments that can occur during the holidays. But it was an important learning moment as the company explored the effective use of AI.

Though it's been removed from their official YouTube channel, the ad has been reposted many times on social media, where the reaction is still largely negative, criticizing the use of AI, as well as the negative message of the ad. If they were going for creepy, depressing, deeply unfunny, clumsily shot, poorly edited, and inauthentic, nailed it, someone quipped on X. It sucks. It's awful. There's no artistry, no wit, no charm, no warmth, no humanity.

You can tell it's AI from a million miles away. I hate it. You should hate it. We should relentlessly mock and deride and bully anyone or any company that uses AI like this. Another post said, meanwhile, the studio behind the ad, The Gardening Club, is defending its work, noting on LinkedIn that the AI-generated ad still took seven intense weeks for humans to create.

Admitting that the man-hours poured into this film were more than a traditional production. Melanie Bridge, CEO of The Sweetshop, the studio's parent company, shared a similar sentiment on Instagram, saying that "The hours that went into this job far exceeded a traditional shoot." McDonald's isn't the only company that's recently faced backlash for AI-generated ads.

Coca-Cola's Holidays are Coming campaign featured two AI-generated commercials. Italian fashion house Valentino was also slammed after unveiling an advertisement featuring artificial intelligence, with trendsetters trashing the release as cheap and tacky.
