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?

I would agree with you that sweetcorn doesn't belong on a Christmas dinner. But if your OH wants sweetcorn then let him have sweetcorn. DH has mint sauce with roast beef. No telling him that's not right because that's what he likes so he can just get on with it.

I'm having sweetcorn.
And Yorkshires.
And Cauliflower cheese.

So ner.

Sweetcorn should be banned outright-it is pure evil.

hth

We'll be having sauerkraut and pickles with ours because DH's dad was Latvian and thats what they had with Christmas dinner in there house. Just cook him the sweetcorn, it doesn't smell, takes 4 mins from frozen, can't see waht the problem is.

We always have sweetcorn with Christmas dinner/ roast dinnners.

I didn't think it was controvesial!

Who says what's right or wrong? Blimey a bit of sweetcorn isn't much to ask if he likes it.

I don't think sweetcorn belongs in a christmas dinner.

However, sweetcorn is DS's favorite vegetable and he would be very annoyed if he didn't get it. .
I won't be having it though.

The very last bite of Christmas dinner should include bacon, the crispiest bit of a roast potato, half a sprout, some gravy, some cranberry, one pea and one sweetcorn kernel. Perhaps some stuffing - although by that point in the meal, there's usually enough stuffing disintegrated in the gravy.

Yum!

NO to sweetcorn with a Christmas dinner!

and my DH wants TWO kinds of potato ... TWO!!!

He isnt getting two. Roasts only.

Sweetcorn is wrong. End of.

Sweetcorn has no place on any plate - indigestible muck!

Why people give it to their young children, I really do not know. Their nappies the following day are full of it!

The nappies are full of the skin/husk of the sweetcorn.

Bloody hell OP you have just doubled my DS' enjoyment of his Christmas Dinner with this thread. He is only five, autistic with severe food aversion and he had been planning to have, erm, carrots. He adores sweetcorn! I wouldn't have thought of putting any on his tester plate but he'll love it. Merry Christmas!

We're having two kinds of potatoes. And yorkshire puds. I can't bloody wait.

You can have whatever you want its your dinner!

Were not even having a Xmas dinner!

I refuse to be stuck in the kitchen all day! I'm spending the whole day with my kids

MIL once served mushy peas with xmas dinner
she'd done potatoes cooked three different ways (roast mash and boiled) and about 100 different sorts of veg which included cauliflower and cauliflower cheese; garden peas and the mushy ones!

Sweetcorn goes very well with gravy, don't be a meanie and get some (send him to the crowd ridden shops).
Merry Christmas

Sweetcorn is lovely but not with gravy so YANBU

Cauliflower cheese and yorkshires are OK by me.

I'm cooking therefore I'm boss.

Ner.

We'll have sweetcorn, green beans, and carrots. That will cover everyone's personal likes. At least it will be colourful.

Lol, I seriously doubt that if it were the other way round people would scream controlling bastard. Its just a different opinion on sweetcorn, shit...

OH is thrilled he has so much support and is ringing a spousal abuse hotline as we speak.

What's so wrong with ketchup on roasties? I love ketchup on nearly EVERYTHINK!

I serve canned peas, they are my ds's favorite veggie. None of us like fresh peas or frozen peas.

One year my mil served sauted sliced onions and peppers with Christmas dinner. That seemed weird, but dh liked them a lot. I saute the alien heads (as we call brussel sprouts) with them though, in a bit of chicken broth.

No one who has ever lived with non mains sewerage would go near sweet corn again. Evil stuff.

LTB

Softlysoftly, what do you mean?

The outer kernels don't digest.

Non mains sewerage systems (cess pits) have a tendancy to need schlurping out with a tractor and the drains rodding to push through backlog..

Guess what bobs merrily by quite a lot?
