To put mint sauce on my roast chicken dinner

AIBU as I dislike lamb so otherwise would not get the pure delight of eating it on a roast. I also eat it with all the bits of a roast - potatoes, Yorkshire, veg and stuffing Grin

My family think I am a revolting heathen

I put it on everything at home but behave myself when at restaurants!

Absolutely not! Mint jelly (prefer it to sauce) on Yorkshirepuds is my absolute favourite. We rarely have roast lamb. My DH calls me a weirdo but I don't care 🤣😍

PS: to the PP who thinks Yorkshire puds only go with beef, you're missing out... I have them with any roast & actually just had them with sausages and mash tonight 😉

I have mint jelly on absolutely everything. It drives my other half barmy!

Yes to Yorkshire puds with anything.

Yanbu, I do it too.

mouldyhousemouldylife · 05/05/2019 19:24

Of course Yorkshire puddings go with any meat!

Oooh yeah it's nice, so is apple sauce with chicken 😀

I love mint sauce or mint jelly on mushy peas, doesn't matter what I'm eating with them. Apple with pork or gammon, tho I'm I'll quite happily fry a pineapple ring to eat with the gammon. Redcurrants with turkey or lamb.

Good god, yes yabu and quite mad. Mint sauce doesn’t belong on anything

BobbinThreadbare123 · 05/05/2019 19:28

I like mint sauce on chicken. I had redcurrant jelly with my chicken roast dinner today!

Yogagirl123 · 05/05/2019 19:30

I love mint sauce with any roast dinner, and mixed in with baked beans, sounds odd but it’s delish!

PookieDo · 05/05/2019 19:33

BAKED BEANS?? Confused

I always have mint Jelly (not keen on mint sauce) on my veg with roast dinners.

ohdearymeehee · 05/05/2019 19:43

Mint sauce mixed in mushy peas is amazing

U2HasTheEdge · 05/05/2019 19:44

YASNBU. Mint sauce is a must, even on chicken!

IHaveBrilloHair · 05/05/2019 19:45

Mint sauce in mushy peas with fish and chips is amazing

Nonnymum · 05/05/2019 19:46

It sounds horrible. But if you like it why not?

IHaveBrilloHair · 05/05/2019 19:46

Snap, ohdearymeehee

emwithme · 05/05/2019 19:48

I love mint sauce with salmon and roasted Mediterranean veg.

ImTheRealHFella · 05/05/2019 19:57

Yes! It's lovely with salmon and roasted veg

HardAsSnails · 05/05/2019 20:01

I eat the chicken (with cranberry sauce) and then add mint sauce to the rest, as I don't like the mint sauce on the chicken.

HeresMe · 05/05/2019 20:05

Mint sauce on roast beef is devine.

And Yorkshire puds go with any kind of roast.
