It depends. A cooked gravy dinner every Sunday with roasted potatoes and Yorkshire puddings is delicious. Pasties are amazing also.

But my mum used to cook boiled potatoes and Brussels sprouts for dinner with no seasonings at all, and beef or lamb so bland and chewy I would gag.

Luckily we had tons of curry shops and an influx of other “foreign” cuisine in the 70s to give my taste buds some exercise.
