To hate sweetcorn with a roast!

Lovely roast pork, perfect roast potatoes, lovely roasted carrots and nice savory cabbage. Why would you ruin that with sweetcorn?

Sweetcorn goes in salad, with tuna mayo, corn on the cob with lovely bbq chicken. It doesn't go on a roast to taint the other food.

Dp has ruined my roast dinner dramatic

I hate sweetcorn and you should LTB for putting it on a roast.

Yanbu

Sweetcorn and gravy?

Fuck that.

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 22/09/2019 17:05

Sweetcorn is one of my absolute favourites, but my husband agrees it doesn't belong on a roast dinner but it doesn't bother me. However I don't understand mash potatoes on a roast?????

Squirrelblanket · 22/09/2019 17:05

Agreed! Peas should also never be on a roast.

zxcvhjkl · 22/09/2019 17:05

Love sweetcorn.

It has no place in a roast though! Whatever next.

YANBU

Sweet corn fritters and bananas with a Maryland chicken, perhaps but not generally with a roast lunch.

NoSquirrels · 22/09/2019 17:10

The only reason for putting sweetcorn with a roast would be fur fussy children who don’t eat any other veg.

I’m with you, OP. And it was plated on top of other veg?

Wine for the shock.

BuildBuildings · 22/09/2019 17:12

I've never heard of this. It's horrific. Wtf?!

Savingforarainyday · 22/09/2019 17:13

Sweetcorn goes with everything. You are wrong

Itsallpetetong · 22/09/2019 17:19

YANBU about the sweet corn but you are BU for thinking
Roasted courgettes and peppers go with a roast dinner.

cushioncovers · 22/09/2019 17:21

I love Sweet corn and gravy 🤷🏻‍♀️

Newschapter · 22/09/2019 17:23

What is this chasing of peas?

Surely you have booked/mushy peas with a roast...not tinned? Grin

MrsRufusdog789 · 22/09/2019 17:28

Gosh you are lucky ! Sweetcorn horrid on a roast though imo .
My DH is cooking at the moment - a Gousto delight - and the crashing and banging in the kitchen is scaring the dog who's trying to sleep on my lap . I'm not moving - it's his turn to cook - ( once in a blue moon ! )

L0bstersLass · 22/09/2019 17:29

Sweetcorn with a roast is not acceptable. Even worse when it's covering other vegetables. Not good.

Darbs76 · 22/09/2019 17:37

I agree. Ok with fish etc aswell as salad but no way a roast

reginafelangee · 22/09/2019 17:40

Roasted courgettes and peppers.

Courgettes are slimey bits of evil and peppers are for stir fries or salads.

Fizzypoo · 22/09/2019 17:42

I'm happy to be U about peppers and courgettes. My ideal roast would have them but I wouldn't serve them to anyone else. My dp can like sweetcorn on a roast but he shouldn't have put them on my plate and tainted my food stamps feet!

I hate cauliflower cheese with a roast.
When did that become a thing?
I love cauliflower and I love cauliflower cheese.
Just not with my stuffing and gravy.

Oblomov19 · 22/09/2019 17:44

God I love sweet corn. Particularly corn 🌽 on the cob.
But with a roast? No. Good God no. What is this devil work of which you speak?

horse4course · 22/09/2019 17:45

Roasts are wintry. Root veg and hardy things like cabbage. Things that can be bitter so roasting makes them sweeter.

Absolutely not to sweetcorn. Peas on sufferance. Baked beans with a roast would be an abomination.

I wouldn't have summer things like courgette either.

TomHagenMakesMyBosomTremble · 22/09/2019 17:45

YANBU. Sweetcorn is vile. Although I only eat carrots (which I will only eat batonned) and red cabbage with a roast, so I'm a whole 'nother level of fussy anyway.

Fizzypoo · 22/09/2019 17:45

Cauliflower cheese goes with gammon @hazel and green veg.

But I do actually like it on a roast, the cheese sauce with the gravy works for me Grin

Love corn on the cob, growing like weeds at the moment. I feel like singing Oh What A Beautiful Morning every time I go into the garden, we have to eat it with everything.

MrsElf · 22/09/2019 17:50

Mostly YANBU. In this case, with cabbage, carrots and gravy, YAdefinitelyNBU. It’s the gravy that clinches it, I’d say.
But, with roast chicken, courgette and peppers, and probably little herby roast potatoes, sweet corn would be fine. (That’s a summer Sunday roast in this house.)

spanglydangly · 22/09/2019 17:50

@TomHagenMakesMyBosomTremble red cabbage with a roast??? Leave the table immediately!
