scuzz

OK, so what veggies are being cooked up for Christmas lunch this year?

We're having roasties, roast butternut squash, broccoli, roast carrots, and sprouts (well I'm not eating sprouts - yuk!!!)

Roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli, sprouts and roast parsnips along with the turkey, sausage and bacon, stuffing and a some yorkshire puds for my DS and DD.

Does anyone do mashed AND roast potatoes? I think thats really odd!

my Gran used to do that,I think it must have been a hangover from rationing when you needed bulk on the plate.

We're having roast potatoes, roast parsnips, pureed celeriac and potato, carrots, red cabbage, sprouts with chestnuts, home made cranberry sauce... and I think that's about it. Oh and turkey, chipolatas and bacon of course!

My tum's aching already at the thought of it!

Have fun, everyone :rudolf:

I like to leave plenty of room for my fave thing of the roast dinner- bread sauce, I just adore it!

Roast potatoes, mashed potatoes, roast parsnips, mashed swede, broccoli, carrots, peas, cauliflower cheese. To go with roast beef, Yorkshires, stuffing and pigs-in-blankets.

No sprouts - they are the Devil's earwax!

Roast potatoes, boiled baby new potatoes, roast parsnips, cauli, broccoli, carrrots and loads of brussels cos they are mine and my DD2's favourite veg ever! Turkey, sausages in bacon rolls and sausages cooked inside the turkey so they are steamed and yummy. I know you're not supposed to put anything in the body cavity but my nan, my mum and I have done it for donkey's years and we've always been OK, as long as you cook it properly. Even my DD1 who is a veggie says she misses those.

We always cook stuffing in the turkey cavity. Load of tosh in my view to say leave it empty!
