A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

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:
we would not call it a "roast" though, that's reserved for roasts.
No.
Their friend just can't cook
You’re welcome to come over and try it, but I can’t help you if you end up in the village stocks.

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
Sounds like eighteenth century peasant food.
are you describing like a goulash?
I'm confused with your words. If you are boiling something you can't be roasting it.
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.
Maybe I'm missing something.
Is "a roast" a type/style of meat?
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.
