The parsnips went down a storm but the roasties didn't rate so well, IMHO.

So it's parsnips from mr T and roasties from auntie B at Morrisons!!

Yes I use frozen on xmas day so I can spend max time with family, that's what they remember in years to come time together!

Thanks all keep the ideas flowing. What about the best turkey/gammon etc?

I agree with what you are trying to say , but ... when you live alone and have not only to work but also then do all the household tasks yourself, time-saving products like this can be a "necessary evil".

PS. I cannot comment on the parsnips, but Aunt Bessie's roast poatoes get my vote. They are currently down from £1.69 to just £1.00 at ASDA, so I have a couple of extra bags in the freezer for when they go back up again.

Yes,agree that could be timesaving.,but anymore than one person,really roasted potatoes are so easy,virtually no effort.Stick em in oven,turn them once.

Hold on! That's a bit too much effort for me - bung 'em in and, when slightly burned round the edges, take them out again. Same for the parsnips, except these I brush with honey and cook for less time.

What about the washing and peeling them????

for two for example thats about four small tatties-i dont bother to wash them,as you peel the skin off anyway.,just rinse them under a tap. takes about 2 mins.

Totally agree but got a few health problems which means having good frozen options is great.
