Dunno what I’m gonna do this year, just gonna be me on the day. Will do family things with the 'rents after. Last year, three of the four people who live(d) here work in hospitality so we were fed up of roasts. Might have beans on toast, treat myself! :laughing:

Mate… I’m trying to keep this civil, but really, the suggestion that CHRISTMAS DINNER PIVOTS ON SWEET POTATO is an absolute atrocity.

I’ll be serving up yorkshire puddings on Christmas Day

Hmmm…

carrots and sprouts for defs, parsnips optional but they definitely help bring it up a gear.

i mean things like peas and broccoli COULD be included, sure, but not sure why you would, they seem a bit out of place in the whole ensemble.

why the fuck are you limiting it to 4 veg? Roast anything should feature, as a minimum, the following accompaniments:

Roast potatoes
Roast pumpkin
Roast carrot
Roast sweet potato or parsnip (if not both)
Roast onion (and/or leak)
Boiled/steamed cauliflower
Boiled/steamed broccoli
Boiled/steamed zucchini
Boiled/steamed peas and/or beans

Personally, I’d throw in some corn (on the cob or otherwise) as well, and maybe some sprouts too.

AND A YORKSHIRE FUCKING PUD!

that’s right, a bit of piss vapour never hurt anyone

Let’s make it easy for you: in addition to roast potato, you need a minimum 2 orange, 2 white and 2 green.

you’re not even irish m8

or from the ivory coast

#58

Fuck off, carrots

#59

how many pans do you have?

#60

you only need two roasting pans (one for meat and potatoes, one for the other veg) and one large pot/steamer.

(I have at least half a dozen)

#61

meat and two veg

#62

Because I intend on drinking heavily whilst cooking and anything more than 4 might get a bit out of hand. Also, cannot be fucked peeling and prepping all that lot.

And roast anything should feature as a minimum 9 or more vegetables? Yes mate, of course it should. This is like that 48hr bolognese bollocks, though probably worse.

I have a massive roasting tin

on xmas day it will be full of a massive turkey - there won’t be enough room to make the quantity of roast potatoes I require in the same tin
