We will often have roast lamb (with a sprinkle of rosemary on whilst cooking), with all the trimmings like stuffing balls, Yorkshire puddings and/or mini toad-in-the-holes, mint sauce - roast potatoes, plus roasted parsnips, carrots and butternut squash with honey added for the last 5-10 minutes of cooking time and lots of fresh spring vegetables like peas, beans, sprouts, spring greens etc, topped off with some nice thick gravy. Later in the day we tend to have something like pancakes - my better half will sometimes add a few chunks of an Easter egg to his but I stick to the more traditional sugar and lemon juice on mine.
We like to have a whole baked Rainbow Trout, cooked in foil with butter and rosemary. Boiled new potatoes with mint from the garden and some steamed green vegetables make the perfect Easter meal.
It has to be roast shoulder of lamb (just about beats leg of lamb, but it's a close call). Work off that course with a chase round the house for easter egg hunting, and finished off with a luxury hot cross bun!
A roast lamb with potatoes root veg and garden peas and carrots and a nice sherry trifle and if any room left a Easter egg yum and then back to the diet lol 😀
Roast leg of lamb with mint sauce, followed by homemade hot cross buns. Or even better, using the buns to make a bread and butter pudding with lashings of custard.
