Horrified

[msgilbertblythe]

First time at the in laws for Christmas dinner. They served MUSHY PEAS as one of the veg. Grounds for divorce or AIBU?

WTAF??

We're they tinned nonsense or freshly made with fresh mint cos one isn't fit for rats the other is at least edible but neither have a place on an Xmas Meal.

Divorce is the only option

I suppose you are in the bathroom, sobbing and fuming over a ruined Christmas?

Ltb. Although this is the second thread mentioning mushy peas with Christmas dinner. .

I hope you stormed out of there straight away. The cheek of it!

God that's just as bad as overlooking the sprouts. Bleugh......

They were tinned. @nottalotta at least I'm not on my own. Maybe it's a thing.

I quite like mushy peas, but it just wouldn't occur to serve them with Christmas dinner, I mean, there's just not the room!

The diiiirty bastards!

How very very wrong!

My husband makes pea purée with Sunday roast, didn't do it today but that is basically posh mushy peas, really nice veg side.

And here was me still feeling sad that I didn't get to eat any pigs in blankets today at the in-laws. Mushy peas!!!

My dd is breastfed and allergic to milk so I can't eat milk. So I couldn't eat the packet bread sauce thank god they usually have so I offered to make and bring some using almond milk for everyone. Nope, mil insisted they all have their packet bread sauce as apparently her 32 year old daughter loves it, she doesn't, so I bought my own little Tupperware for one of yummy home made bread sauce .

yorkshire?

Could be worse. The first Christmas I was with DH MIL served fried mushrooms.

I love a fried mushroom. On a fry up. I was utterly bemused to find them on a Christmas dinner. MIL was most offended that I refused them (to be fair, I'm not very good at hiding my facial expressions) and has basically only just forgiven me six years later.

Peas, mushy or not, should be part of every meal. YABU!

Holy shit. Nope. It's almost as bad as tinned sweetcorn on a Christmas dinner. Shudders

And also... totally divorce.

Dh's family always serve mushy peas with christmas dinner (bachelor's quick soak peas).
Therefore we have to serve them when we cook a Christmas dinner. I avoid them.

Mushy peas are fantastic. Send them round here and I'll swap you for sliced carrots.

Never mind divorce - it's grounds for murder!

I was behind a man buying mushy peas today in the garage! Maybe they were for your lunch 😂

My first ever.....

Ltb

Tinned?!

Well, DH is still horrified we eat pasta, reindeer and elk.

But still... from a tin?!

We are not having roast potatoes. We are having mash. No mushy peas but no pigs in blankets either. heathens

The diiiirty bastards!

This made me chuckle

Did they bleed into the gravy, OP? So grim.

I have had confit of goose on a bed of crushed peas. Which is basically mushy peas.
