roastdiplomacy
/ˈrəʊst dɪˈpləʊməsi/nounVerified NewAlso in: Bratendiplomatie (Deutsch) · asadomacia (Español) · rôtidiplomatie (Français)
The negotiation of timing, seating, and oven space that surrounds a Sunday roast.
Roastdiplomacy coordinates three dishes that demand one oven at one temperature, none of which cooperate. The potatoes are promised crispness they may not receive. Seats are arranged, opinions on doneness are heard and overruled, and peace is declared when the gravy holds — the treaty's final clause.
Etym. — roast + diplomacy — statecraft conducted around a hot oven.
