They probably mentioned it because it was originally from the UK. All countries do a version of basically all foods but it's important to remember where it came from.

Sure, "Sunday Roast", said in English, is definitely an English thing, and it is the dish with yorkies and gravy. I'm saying any Christian country would have had similar rituals, called some version of "Sunday roast" in their respective languages. Such as "poulet du dimanche" or "asado del domingo". To me, a roast with specific cultural specialties added in is not novel. Not in the same way sushi or hamburgers or pizza are uniquely invented.

That's like saying the French beef bourguignon or the Hungarians goulash aren't real dishes because they're just the same as an English beef stew.

I'm not gonna argue more, because as I said to another commenter when I conceded, I got bogged down in semantics. Have a lovely weekend.
