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

Mint sauce and Yorkshire puddings with any meal you like.

Yanbu

Minted mushy peas do NOT, they DO NOT go with fish and chips! Our local chip shop always does this - awful.

Mind you, a PP on here claimed to put mint sauce in her spag bol 'because then it tastes like toothpaste' Confused Was that you, OP?

FWIW I like lingonberry jam with my roast chicken.

Oh, I say!
That sounds a bit posh!

PookieDo · 05/05/2019 21:18

I would not put it in spag Bol that’s just plain weird

Someone on here once said they put marmalade in spag bolConfused

RedSheep73 · 05/05/2019 21:28

Sounds revolting to me but if you aren't forcing it on anyone, so what?

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 05/05/2019 21:30

When I do a roast no matter what meat we have stuffing, Yorkshire puds and mint sauce. 🤷🏻‍♀️Wouldn’t be a roast without!!

OldUnit · 05/05/2019 21:43

All of the above variations are acceptable.

Tomato ketchup on any roast is NEVER ACCEPTABLE.

Sagradafamiliar · 05/05/2019 21:50

I put mint, apple and cranberry sauce with my vegan dinners sometimes all at once so yanbu although I know I am very unreasonable indeed.

AreYouGonnaGetThaf · 05/05/2019 21:50

Mint sauce on any roast. Plus piccalilli on the roast potatoes...

I want a roast now Sad

RoseMartha · 05/05/2019 22:01

If you like it enjoy it

LadyRannaldini · 05/05/2019 22:17

Mint sauce on mushy peas!

OH can put mustard, Maggi and ketchup on the same meal, revolting!

theorchidwhisperer · 05/05/2019 23:19

I have mint sauce and gravy with every single roast dinner. I have since I was tiny.

I Used to get strange looks and mutterings from family (hosts) but I really don't enjoy it without a lot of mint sauce.

Vehivle · 05/05/2019 23:21

YANBU! I put mint sauce on pork chops! So delicious! Great to dunk chips in too.

Boobahs · 05/05/2019 23:49

Mint sauce on any roast dinner!

I have cranberry sauce every time at the carvery (tend to have gammon and turkey) but don't bother at home!

Gth1234 · 05/05/2019 23:55

You have whatever you like.

I like horseradish with chicken also.

TheRedBarrows · 05/05/2019 23:55

You are a revolting heathen but not as bad as X2boys and with their gravy on battered fish and mint sauce on baked beans.

vampirethriller · 06/05/2019 07:26

Mint sauce with chicken is nice. Mint jelly with chicken is even better.

Fruitbatdancer · 06/05/2019 08:22

Another mint sauce fan here. I have it on Porto instead of apple sauce which is just wrong. Can’t have fruit with my main!

my2bundles · 06/05/2019 08:46

If you like it then it's not wrong. Don't go in for all the ridiculous old fashioned food rules in my house.
