I just made this dish over the weekend, but without the soda. It came out quite lovely. After the roast was done (2.5 lbs for 8 hours), I took the gravy from the bottom and simmered it in a pot with whole canned potatoes that were on sale this week. It was very good.

Does this make it sweet? I’ve always wanted to try this, but my husband doesn’t care for sweet main dishes (no ketchup, no sweet and sour, etc.)

though i don’t really drink it, i have a soft-spot for recipes that use soda. my mom used to cook ham in coca-cola. the best glaze ever. but once she made these cold buckwheat noodles we always have in the summer and for fun, put 7-Up into the cold “soup” instead of hte vinegar/broth mixture. It was really good Your recipe sounds fun!

Yes, soda here means sweetened carbonated water, so 7-up, Sprite, Coca Cola, or even Ginger Ale are what I’ve seen mentioned. What do you guys call those? In different parts of the US it might be called pop, soda, co-cola, soda pop, coke (even when not referring to Coca Cola), and probably many more names I don’t know!

That sounds pretty good. Can you clarify what you mean by soda? Up here in Canada, soda is carbonated water, whereas I believe Americans have a different definition for soda. Thanks,
