Why would you need to ask? Confused

OP absolutely have whatever you fancy :) and embrace it.

IMO the “sides” are always the best bit anyway, controversially, Yorkshire puddings, stuffing, cauliflower cheese, red cabbage, bread sauce….sprouts, carrots…roast potatoes, redcurrant jelly AND mint sauce (gets coat) lashings of gravy.

DD17 and me are sharing this from Waitrose, otherwise I favour a nut roast which is basically a nutty stuffing anyway Confused The Quorn roasts in the frozen section are similar to white roast meat (sort of!)

Meat wise for the rest of the family we have a Duchy Organic Free Range Chicken just because that sits better with my ethics.

Start your own tradition!

That's what my kids are having, while I eat nut roast (mostly pescetarian family). I think they work well with Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes and roast vegetables, which is most of the point of a Christmas dinner to me! I think it's fine, OP.

Completely not being unreasonable.
Get your favourite ones and enjoy them!

You can have whatever you want!

As a veggie though I just have all the sides, and healthy bit of cauliflower cheese

I've always had nut roasts etc but realised that actually I dont need them

What are you asking? If it’s ok for you to eat what you want to eat?

Just AIBU

If that’s what you fancy then go for it! I love a veggie sausage more than a normal one! Loads of veg, yorkie puds and gravy and it will be lush.
