I think this is important, very thinly sliced roast beef on a roll is a very different meal from a big slab of roast beef on a plate, all flaky and dry.

Beef invented by Romans?
I really dont think the good old MOL would agree that the ancient Britains 'picked up the habit of eating roast beef' from Roman rubbish dumps (!!!) Seriously the Ancient British had been herding beef for centuries beforehand as Barry Cunliffe, Francis Pryor or any prehistoric landscape archaeologist would tell you. Beef has always had a very particular place in the British economy & culture - see also the Irish Tain Bo Cuailnge - they certainly ate beef withouth the influence of the Romans! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.35.115.3 (talk) 21:10, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Cooking
The statement that there are health risks in eating rare beef should be removed. The external reference cited refers to commercially prepared meat, not meat cooked at home. The illness reported was probably due to contamination of the factory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.74.182.200 (talk) 18:53, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
Rare beef
Yes, beef can be rare. It can also be well done, which is a tradition in my (Yorkshire) family. Given historical British tastes, well done is rather more likely to be the tradition, so I suggest you find a citation or add the list of options and remove the 'traditional' part.
