Aibu to think a roast dinner doesn't necessarily need roast potatoes?

[MagicMojito]

Title says it all really. For me so long as you have a roasted bit of meat on the go and maybe some roasted veggies, well then that's fair enough to constitute a roast. Is it just me who thinks roast potatoes are abit unnecessary?

Sock and you didn't FIGHT HIM????
I'm sorry -need to get a glass of wine - I am truly in shock

Any form of potato is delicious with any meat but but but...

It's not a "roast" without roast potatoes.

Sorry, OP, you are officially a loon!

They are the best bit and I never have a roast without them

WyrdByrd Set another place and I'll bring the wine.

Ohh, I can't even get out of my seat to get said glass of wine, my legs are too wobbly

Yabcompletyu. How can you have a roast dinner without roast potatoes ?????

Its more of a roast if it were roast potatoes with fish fingers rather than meat and no rosaries!

this is the most unreasonable aibu I have ever seen on mn, and I have been here 8 years.

op you are being so utterly wildly unreasonable I can't even express how aghast I am at your unreasonableness

A roast needs roast meat, meat alternative, potatoes and veg all crispy from the oven.

*ROASTIES not rosaries. Meat and rosaries would be weird.

YABVU, and slightly ridiculous.

Evans I totally should have. And I would have won. But DH's grandparents may have died from the shock as they think I'm a lovely sweet girl.

He's not coming this year.

By your definition, OP, you could call it a 'roast dinner' if you served roast chicken salad with bits of (roasted) beetroot in it. There'd be uproar if I tried to pass that off as a roast dinner in this house.

I'm loving the meat with no rosaries. Very religious that autocorrect.

Stop being silly.

Sock - he's not coming this year - oh, thank the Roast Potato God for that!

YABVU!

What kind of weirdo has a roast without roasters?
The mind boggles.

YABVVVVVVVVU! Roast potatoes are the best bit. I want some. Now.

Just look at these. How could they ever be unnecessary?

HERESY

How can you have a roast dinner with no roast potatoes.

YABVU, Thats not a roast dinner, thats a mash dinner

You see I could get on board with say roast duck with mash and green beans and some kind of lovely sauce

But I would not call it a roast dinner.

I could have roast potatoes with any meal!

You could have mash I suppose if it was gammon. Or new potatoes with mint if it was lamb. Or yorkshire puddings if it was beef (or any other meat for that matter). But if you want to be popular and you don't want the kids to prefer their Gran's roasts to yours, you make roasties.

YANBU. Roast potatoes are ok,but I can think of a dozen nicer ways to eat potatoes. But then I'm not very fond of roast dinners at all. I only eat have them 2-3 times a year,including Christmas.

Op I can think of only one thing to say

Odfod to the far side of fuck and then fuck off some more!

Never ever been more apt!
