Vegetables in a roast? Not sweetcorn

[JamminDoughnuts]

Sweetcorn is so wrong

At least two colours, three types of vegetables. Plus raw carrot sticks. This can include sweetcorn and often does.

And roast is compulsory on Sunday evening in this house.

Our roast (meat for DC, veggie for me) has potatoes, carrots, peas, broccoli, beans, butternut squash and parsnips. Also red cabbage. And often sweetcorn. And cauli-cheese. I do this at least monthly. But I forget to do gravy and yorkshires. And never kale - food of the devil.

I hate cooking puds - so this way we are all so full no-one needs a pud!

I had roasted cauliflower, peas and carrots today. We were going to have Savoy cabbage too but it had gone all papery.
Sweet corn on a roast is incredibly wrong.

Sweetcorn is the superior vegetable in any situation! Delicious whenever, wherever!

Ds has corn on the cob with his as she doesn't like many other vegetables

Sweet corn and cauliflower cheese doesn’t belong on a roast.

No to sweetcorn. Yes to cauliflower cheese, mangetout, parsnips, swede, cabbage, sprouts, peas, mushy peas, courgettes, leeks - if it's green or cream it's in

Swede, parsnips, sprouts and PEAS! Also potatoes, but don’t know if they count. No to sweetcorn.

Today we had roast parsnips and carrots with steamed cavolo nero. You definitely need something fresh and green with a roast!

Beetroot with a roast is way weirder than sweetcorn.

The only food that doesn't belong on roasts is bloody brussel sprouts!

I used to agree but DH introduces me to sweetcorj on a roast and I muss confess it is tasty and does go very well when gravy.

My go to is carrots, cabbage (or kale or brussels), swede and parnsips.

Welcome additions are cauli cheese, braised red cabbage, roasted butternut squash, broccoli, peas, green beans, roast beetroot, marrow. Obviously not all at once.

No stupid food rules here. We have what we want when we want. My roast dinners are varied and rarely have the exact same combination.

I'll be honest and say, other than in the cob at barbecues , I can't think how sweetcorn adds anything to any meal.
Maybe in a salad of some description.
Otherwise no.

Courgettes should never be anywhere near gravy imo

I'd argue courgettes should never be anywhere

I would do roast vegetables (except courgettes and aubergines ) but no meat .

I buy the mixed veg which has swettcorn in it.

Green beans are the best!

Sweetcorn, broccoli and courgette do not go with gravy.
In an ideal world, sweetcorn should be eaten with crispy pancakes and alphabites, but I appreciate it is not 1986 anymore.

Had this exact discussion with dh last week. I said never, he couldn't see the problem. We cook loads of veg round roast - turnip, carrots, leeks, sweet potato, courgette, parsnips. Always 'garden' peas as dh insists on calling them to wind me up. He will not eat broccoli, beans, mange tout and similar. Pain in the proverbial.

I went out with a bloke who served a roast with green peppers, creamed spinach and courgettes. That was the end of that!

Totally agree. I don’t like peas with it either. For me it’s carrots, broccoli, parsnips and cauliflower cheese. Sometimes sprouts if it’s autumn/winter time.

I probably wouldn’t do sweet corn or peas
We usually have cauliflower cheese, Brussel sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, green beans, carrots, parsnips, mash etc

I love sweet corn with a roast! I have onion rings too which is apparantly is super weird lol

ONION RINGS! That's more of an abomination than sweetcorn

I know, I’m aware it’s terrible! Anyone who I’ve ever cooked a roast for is horrified! I love it though, only if its a gammon roast though!
