First time doing it this year. Added sweetcorn to mine as I like it! Rate my roast (Christmas dinner)

Roast dinners taste amazing but never look it

All the pics so far look like leftover slop

Someone who came actually took a photo of the dinner and I hadn’t realised. They plated theirs a bit more presentable than mine? And shows my roast potatoes better 😂

That ham looks like a foot! 😂😂

Sweetcorn is just wrong on a roast dinner!!!

Roasts are like Xmas trees...people think theirs look amazing but 99% of the time they look lacklustre in photos

Roasts usually look great. Until the sauces/gravy are put on.

What??? That’s like having two different types of pasta in a meal. 🤣

We deep fry mars bars and pizza up here, mash and roasties I can cope with after a deep fried mars bar ha ha ha

As long as you enjoyed it OP. That’s the main thing.

Sweetcorn is cattle fodder and unfit for human consumption. That’s my hill to die on. Sorry. I reject your roast purely on that basis. 🤣

Sweetcorn . Just no.

Apart from that looks not too bad.

Never heard of sweetcorn with a roast dinner. Need a bigger plate doesn’t look very appealing.

It is hardly out there, though. There are no rules about which vegetables can be used for a roast.

Come on people - share yours, don't let the OP take all the heat! Here's mine - chicken, ham, roast potatoes, parsnips, sprouts, carrots, broccoli, stuffing, bread sauce, gravy, cranberry sauce. It was bloody lovely and hope yours was too!

Why do you have a tiny plate?

HermoinePotter · 26/12/2024 22:24

Catapaulting · 26/12/2024 22:20

Er, roast potatoes AND mash?

cantdecidewhichisworst · 26/12/2024 18:43

Here's ours! Roast turkey, roast potatoes, mash, pigs in blankets, peas, carrots, broccoli and I had bread sauce and cranberry sauce on mine. There's additional maple roast carrots and chipolatas on the table too (two teenage boys ate this plus extras!)

Runner beans? Naaaaah.

Roasties looking good though

What’s the stuff bottom left that looks beige?

Are they new potatoes?

They don't look roasted enough.

HermoinePotter · 26/12/2024 15:37

Where’s the roast potatoes and the mash? I couldn’t eat it, sorry, it’s all slopped together.

Sweetcorn in a ROAST? 😬😬😬😬

SwordToFlamethrower · 26/12/2024 22:18

No to the sweetcorn. Rest looks lush! Well done!

DrFoxtrot · 26/12/2024 22:06

Have you taken the photo in portrait mode or something? 😆
I agree with PP who find the piling of the food off-putting but I'm sure it was tasty!

onwardandupwards · 26/12/2024 21:33

I'd happily eat it! Looks lovely x
