Roast Beef as comfort food — exactly what I needed
Some dishes exist to comfort and Roast Beef is absolutely in that category. The subtly sweet with caramelised elements quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. proper beef suet does work that no substitute can replicate.
British cuisine was shaped by the Empire, introducing curries and international ingredients into the national diet. There's something about the a Sunday pub lunch context that reinforces the comfort effect. dry cider alongside is the traditional way and it makes complete sense. I come back to this dish when I need something dependable and restorative.
