    I was gonna say hey, that’s what I do and mine turns out fine, then googled to see what braising means and apparently that’s what I do with my roasts.

    Do you mean the brits just… Straight up boil roasts, fully submerged and without browning firat?

      No, we don’t. Op is talking out of his arse. Or he’s the last surviving member of a platoon that landed at Normandy, talking of his experience of wartime rations.

      The closest thing my family do is boiled ham:

      Thigh of a pig is stuck on a low boil for ages, lid on pot. Maybe bayleaf, black papper, rosemary, thyme, salt etc… but very much lightly seasoned compared to italian food. The ham comes out with a soft texture, cut it into slices and serve with potatoes, butter, green veg, english mustard, relish, pickle etc… It’s less flavourful than a porkchop but:

      1. You are serving it with powerful flavours anyway
      2. The ham flavour is now all in the water, adding split peas and herbs makes a large quantity of excellent soup which you can heat and eat at your convienence. Finish friday with ham and lunch thoughout the weekend is set.
      3. There is usually ham left over, and this will be cooked again into something like a ommlette, pie or stirfry.

      we would not call it a “roast” though, that’s reserved for roasts.

        The comment I replied to stated that in their experience brits just throw a roast in water and boil it. Which I agree is not a roast.

            Well the cuts of meat that are often used for making an oven roast, can also be called roasts sometimes I guess. You can go to the store and buy a product called “oven roast” and… boil it instead of roasting it. I just don’t know why one would do that.

      Not sure but my ex used to serve salt beef boiled with carrots potatoes and cabbage all boiled in one pot. It was fine but also very plain and not very flavourful
