A Christmas dinner should not include ......

Mushy peas.

I know I'm right on this and dh is a loon. He wants mushy peas with Christmas dinner!

That's just all kinds of wrong.

My DS wants mushy peas with Christmas dinner, and mummy's little prince will get them.

I like mushy peas.

A great British food imo. It probably wouldn't go with what we'll be eating but I wouldn't mind having some, tbh. :)!

It's Christmas. Isn't it about getting something to eat you actually enjoy?

I know someone who always puts pickled beetroot on a roast dinner.

Although, I prefer non-mushy peas.

Little balls of green goodness. Couldn't he have that?

Baked sweet potatoes with marshmallows. And green pudding. They eat it in America, I have no idea why.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Think that covers it.

Dried Marrowfat Peas, put to steep as part of the Christmas Eve preparations, are normal here in the Welsh Valleys according to my extensive research of the matter.
So your DP is right.

(Research consists of me and DW, both Valleys Welsh, always having a conversation about the virtues of having both Leo Peas and frozen peas as part of Christmas lunch as we do the Food Shop, especially as this adds to the deliciousness of the Boxing Day Fry Up ritual)

((Last night's Food Shop was fun as DW had been out for drinks beforehand and I had a large port before I left the house.))

(((Another part of the Christmas Eve ritual is someone remembering that the peas aren't steeping and leaping out of bed to ensure we don't miss out))

I eat mushy peas cold out of a can but even I wouldn't put them on Christmas dinner.

I don't think peas of any sort belong on a Christmas dinner, but mushy peas with Christmas dinner is an utter abomination.

I like mushy peas very much, but pretty much only with fish and chips or pork pie. They do not go with roast dinner. But BIL has pickles on his so I am no longer surprised by anything.

Is he Welsh?

YANBU. No peas at all on a Christmas or Sunday dinner.

Maggie I was going to ask the same. I am Welsh and although my family never has them they are a staple of a lot of my friends Sunday roast dinners.

DH will be eating pasta on the 24, the 25th and reindeer and elk on the 26th.

So, tbh. You don't have to eat the mushy peas, do you? If he liked them... what's the issue?

We have pineapple Christmas decorations because apparently even DH's great-grandmother already did that... 🙈🙈😉

My DM insists on serving mushy peas with Christmas dinner. I think it's a yorkshire thing. Delicious, as are the leftovers to go with the gammon on Boxing Day!

Baked beans

I'd rather mushy peas than

cauliflower cheese.
Bleurrgh to both.

Oh Mushy peas should only be eaten with fish and chips yuck tell him he is not right in the head. although what is the Christmas yorkshire pudding about

CAULIFLOWER CHEESE???!!!

People have that with Christmas lunch? Surely not...

Bread sauce 🤔What a stupid horrible thing

My DM cooked mushy peas with a Sunday roast in the early days of us being together (and had previously done so periodically). Because DH was so pleased by this, they are now a feature whenever we have roast dinner at DMs.

DM, DH (and now DD1) are WRONG! Mushy peas do not belong on a roast dinner, Christmas or otherwise. (Or anywhere else).

DD2 and I agree with you OP. YANBU.

A Christmas dinner should not include ......

Mushy peas. Agreed

And yorkshire puddings. Sacrilege.

...and don't get me started on people who have Yorkshire puddings with roast turkey. Judgy pants well and truly hoiked today

• In the early days of DH and I being together. DM has been my DM forever!

How dare you!!!
