To think courgettes don't belong on a Sunday roast?

[veggiemedley]

It's my pet hate - don't get me wrong, I like a courgette in a vegetable chilli, or with some other roasted Mediterranean veg, but with gravy on a roast, just no. Is it just me? Or do courgettes belong on a Sunday roast and I'm totally out of touch?

Totally out of touch. But then you eat gravy. And a Sunday roast. 🤷‍♀️

Yanbu - who on earth thinks it would be acceptable?

I don't think courgettes belong on a roast but then I also don't agree with sweetcorn on a roast. I think both just don't go!!

I love a corgette with my Sunday roast. I roast onions, courgette and carrots and smother em in gravy. Yum

Not my first Sunday roast veg option, I'd prefer cabbage, spring greens or tenderstem broccoli for my green veg on a roast.

I really wouldn’t fancy courgette on my roast dinner either, OP. So you aren’t the only one who is ‘out of touch’.

I also can’t abide when people put cauliflower cheese on a roast. The cheese sauce doesn’t go with the gravy!

Why don't they go with a Sunday roast?

We used to sometimes have ratatouille with Sunday roasts. There are courgettes in that.

I think if you're making a Sunday roast in your own home, whatever the hell you like goes with it.

No and I agree about the cauliflower cheese on a roast too - yuk. SIL cooked Sunday roast yesterday - her veg was baby corn, spring onions, roasted tomatoes and red peppers. I was very

I wouldn't personally but it doesn't offend me.

Agree with you OP. Roasts are for greens like cabbage or cavolo Nero, green beans or root veg. Mediterranean veg not welcome.

If it’s a Greek roast lamb or French style rotisserie sort of meal then it’s fine.

Traditional British Roast? YADNBU.

Yuck.

I don’t think courgettes really go with gravy so i wouldn’t usually think of them as going with a roast for that reason. I also agree with the pp who said cauliflower cheese doesn’t go with gravy!

I solve this problem by not having gravy on my roast!

Hell no.

Mediterranean veg do not go with a traditional Sunday roast and I would be a bit to see them.

Can’t agree with cauliflower cheese though. Cheese and gravy are a winning combination.

I agree about the cauliflower cheese too. We only have it with gammon, breaded fish like lemon sole, occasionally steak or lamb chops but even then it’s a bit heavy and might not “go” well with mushrooms, fries etc.

No courgettes with Sunday roast they just don't work, much too watery, might as well have lettuce. Great in a stir fry but keep summery veg for summery dishes. Wintery dishes like a roast need carrots, brussels, cabbage, beetroot that sort of thing.

Cheese and gravy do go though ask the Canadians - Poutine.

Two of our local pubs put steamed courgette on their Sunday roast. There's just no need...however those of you saying no to cauliflower cheese on a roast, heathens the lot of you.

Veg with Sunday roast has to have a sort of al dente crunch texture - beans, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower - definitely not sloppy squelchy courgette.

That’s weird. Definitely not on a roast!!!!

That sounds nice.

I love a good roast dinner with lots of different veg.

Gravy, yum!

I wouldn't have courgettes (or anything in cheese sauce) with any meal involving gravy.

Corgettes are slimy evil and don't belong anywhere.

It's all down to habit and tradition. I wouldn't eat cauliflower cheese with anything at all, just by itself. I wouldn't eat courgette with a roast either.

But then again, I didn't eat potatoes with chicken ever (always rice) until I left home. Again, tradition!

Eat what you like. Any veg is good veg if it gets eaten and not left on the side. I quite like hearing what other people like to eat.
