to think there is no plave for sweetcorn?

[StNiChaolas]

With your Christmas meal?

37 other veg, yup, but sweetcorn and gravy does not go!

Okay??

Agreed.

I concur.

Agreed. Especially as sweetcorn doesn't grow at this time of year in this country. (Mind you, neither do sat sumacs, but they never grow here at any time of year)

Oh yes I agree.

Are you by any chance doing your food shopping today Chao?

FFS. Satsumas, not sat sumacs.

YANBU but we have it with our Christmas dinner every sodding year because DH and the DCs love it .

I just think that it looks ODD, although the children had Christmas dinner at school on Thursday and they had sweetcorn.

I thought you were dead powsh and eperimential then, OYBBK, pushing the boundarues of your Christmas Meal. Harrisa and umami sprouts, anyone?

What makes you think that, Paschy?

Artex, that is beyond the pale. My children will be eating firaged sassafras and samphire, picked from the cut in the morning dew. You need to up your veg ante, dontcha really?

What's really sad is that all the threads I have looked at today with interest have been food related. What does that say about me?

oh I am chaos. I shall be having:

Gunpowder turkey. (Where you shove a firework up the turkeys bum, launch it from your garden, then hope the neighbour lets you retrieve it from their garden)
golden carrots with real gold leaf
Sprouts sprinkled with toasted truffles and drizzled with cuckoo spit.
Hand dug jedward potatoes, complete with rooted quiffs.
Steam engine Christmas pudding (cooked in the boiler of our local steam train) with crunchy coal bits.

I can't wait!

YABU. I love sweetcorn. Its yellow food that baffles the digestive system but it tastes so sweet. Whats not to love? :o

Oddly enough, the first green veg DD liked was samphire - but that doesn't go with gravy either .

Sweetcorn with bread sauce actually does go. Weirdly. But no not with gravy.

I'm round your House then, OYBBK! But, no pudding for me, there's a dear.

Artex, 2013 could be YearOfThePea fir you DS.

Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good.

It's definitely not Christmassy.

It goes great with leftovers, though.

I love sweetcorn and gravy. What's not to like? But I am having Thai Christmas dinner this year so no sweetcorn

at the Jedward potatoes!

Sweetcorn is probably my favourite thing- it goes with everything, I put in in bolognese, shepherd's pie etc and it especially tastes yummy with gravy- that's possibly the best combination of all. It's the first veg I ensure I have to hand when dishing up roast dinner!

Sweetcorn is DS's number one veg! (Followed by cabbage, unfortunately we get the benefit of the side effects.)

However, it will not be present for christmas dinner, in that I agree.

We'll be having sweet corn.
But we will be eating our Christmas lunch on a beach just north of Sydney, so it's not going to be traditional anyway

We always have it too, demanded by DCs.
Have to say, it does look so bright and lovely on the table.

We always always have sweetcorn and peas!

I just don't get sweetcorn!! It cannot have any nutritional value surely. It comes out exactly the same as it goes in!!

Sweetcorn and gravy do not go either.

YOU ARE ALL HEATGENS.
