Sherry... prawn cocktail... port. Is this a 1970s-themed party? 

Keys in the bowl, there's a good lad 

And Varche, beer? Beer with Sunday lunch? What kind of ruffian are you! 

[Rods2]

Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, roast parsnip, peas, gravy

Absolutely pointless without horseradish sauce or alternatively generous amounts of English mustard, of course.

Fixed.

Aye aye Captain.   BIRDS it is not Birds Eye! been a long time (over ten years since I have even seen Birds custard)

I am really looking for what people consider to be a true Sunday lunch.

You can buy tins of Birds custard powder in France where it is called 'Creme Anglaise', what about in more 'English' parts of Spain?

I am quite surprised how many people have a starter and a pudding, and Wine! Sunday, in our house is where a weeks worth of washing, ironing and cleaning has to be done. However I am a lover of a Sunday roast, which we have most Sundays, and like others have said, a roast with appropriate veg and Yorkshire puddings of course. Horseradish, apple sauce, mint sauce or mustard as appropriate, to accompany the roast. We eat at tea time..........

I forgot to mention Lamb....your mint sauce reminded me.
To be honest we do not have lamb, because I don't like it.....but... if the kids come to lunch, then its Lamb. They seem to go potty over it. ( I get to have a turkey drumstick on those occasions ).
There are a hell of a lot of people over here that seem to go for lamb over beef

We all like lamb, but chops are so small and fiddly and a joint can be quite fatty, Pork tends to be the norm, with beef here and there, depending on what offers are on when we shop. We have a very popular, for miles around, slaughterhouse a couple of miles away and their meat is often much cheaper than the supermarket...........

Sundays are all about the roast, so no starters.... none.

I lie, the starter is when the roast beef/lamb comes from the oven (That's when the potatoes go in) and after 10 mins or so, everyone gets a small slice of the roast, just to test!!!!!.

As for drinks, definitely red wine with the red meat, although white wine is acceptable for those who have no decorum.

Pudding should be an extremely stodgy affair - Us brits don't do sorbets.... A 'kin great big dollop of spotted dick or bread and butter pudding or if you are feeling majestic, a Sherry trifle.

Oh, and every roast - Chicken, Beef, Lamb, Pork etc etc MUST HAVE YORKSHIRE PUD!

I love to do that, it has to be tested............

I am a sod at doing that, especially if its a nice piece of topside, or a turkey. I am full after carving, before I get to the table

Yes that can be a problem, by the time you have cooked dinner and had a nibble here and there you don't get the full enjoyment of the meal itself.........

My starter is a bit of bread dunked in the meat juices!

That's it, when it's all nice and hot straight from the tray! 

Of course there are other things to consider if El Varche is going to give his neighbours the Brit sunday lunch experience.   

He'll have to serve them cold meat sandwiches with cold roast spuds and pickled onions for tea, and then have them over again on Monday evening for the last of the cold meat with Bubble & Squeak!!!

Absolutely, we love that, takes longer to fry than you might think, but worth it.......
