to think sweetcorn DOES NOT BELONG on a Christmas dinner?!

[Theicingontop]

OH is adamant he's having sweetcorn with his roast on Tuesday.

There's no sweetcorn in the freezer and I'm not buying any.

It's just wrong.

AIBU?

He has to go and get it and microwave it.

It does not go with Christmas dinner IMO. If its not appearing in Good Housekeeping Food then it doesn't exist at Christmas.

Sweetcorn does not belong near any sort of roast - actually sweetcorn does not belong on a plate with gravy on it - too sweet - all wrong (although DS and DD would disagree with me and have the bloosy stuff with everything).

Tell him to buy and cook his own!

Wrap up a tin of Green Giant for him!!

Is this thread serious or a piss take? Because my answer depends on which one...

I didn't realise there were rules as to what you have with christmas dinner

This is a joke isn't it? You wouldn't actually be that anal about sweetcorn.

Mil used to do that. Every sunday roast dinner and xmas. She couldn't cook btw, and gave me my adversion to cabbage!
She can bake wonderful cakes though!

why can't he ha ve what he wants? No one else need eat it.

Gosh, he's strange, whatever next, pilau rice with the turkey? Put a stop to this very unfestive behaviour now OP before Christmas is forever ruined for you.

Sweet corn is pretty much the only veg my 4yo DD will eat, so I suspect I'll be zapping some frozen sweet corn for her Christmas dinner.

If your DH doesn't mind eating like a 4yo, that's up to him!

He puts - wait for it - ketchup on his roast potatoes as well.

I'll make him eat in the kitchen with the cat. Job done.

I love sweetcorn with turkey.

Two threads about it - who knew it was such a thorny issue...

Hate to break the Christmas dinner rules, but we will be having sweetcorn with our dinner on Tuesday . Mainly because when DCs (now older teenagers) were younger it was a vegetable they would eat, along with carrots. I think it will be with us forever now.

How strange your this controlling what your OH has on his plate...

I quite like sweetcorn with a roast, my mum won't do it though

hmm yanbu to think its disgusting but yabu to try and dictate what he eats.

Buy the poor man some bloody sweetcorn.

I've heard of someone who has no gravy but has heinz beans instead.........and salad cream.......that makes sweetcorn seem pretty normal!

My son like sweetcorn with his, but he does like it straight from the tin so no actual heating or work involved :)

If he pops out to get one of those small tins, and sticks it in the microwave for 30s...why not?

It wouldn't be my choice of Xmas dinner veg though!

Pfft I wish I could control what he ate, he'd be healthier for it. Alas, no.

There was another thread? Blimey.

Definitely not. It doesn't much belong anywhere to be honest. Toddlers like it.

Surely you can't pop a metal tin in a microwave can you?

Yes it is wrong.

But if it's what he wants why not? It's not really a rule, just not traditional.

We have sweetcorn, peas and broccoli - all requested by the DC.
We also have the more usual, 'festive' veg also.

It's a feast - people get what they like. Especially if it's a vegetable.
