To ask - If you could only have THREE veg on your Christmas dinner?

[goldenoldie1]

Top three options if that was the limit for Xmas dinner?

Mine is probably parsnips, nice carrots and broccoli.

I know I'm going to change my mind when I see other responses.

Cauliflower
Sprouts
Mashed swede

I was going to say sweetcorn but I know that's frowned upon on MN roast dinners!

Potatoes aren't a veg, so they can be extra.
Sprouts (shredded and stir fried with bacon)
Braised red cabbage
Cauliflower cheese

Roast peppers, courgettes and onions

Potatoes, parsnips, sprouts

Carrots, sprouts, spiced red cabbage.

Potatoes don't count! And ONION?? Sorry what!!

Shredded Brussel sprouts fried in butter
Roast parsnips
Mashed carrots and neeps

Sprouts, roast carrots, red cabbage

Roast potatoes don’t count as veg obviously. The OP hasn’t included them but I’m sure they’re a given. Personally I don’t count parsnips either because they’re roasted and go in the serving bowl with the potatoes. So sprouts, glazed baby carrots and red cabbage.

@RustyBear

Roast peppers, courgettes and onions

I'm sorry but what fresh hell is this

Red cabbage
Cauliflower Cheese
Honey and mustard glazed parsnips

Maple roasted parsnips & Carrots, Cauliflower Cheese, Rosemary & Garlic roast potatoes.

If roast potatoes don’t count then

Mashed turnip (actually it’s swede but that not what we call it here)
sprouts
Broccoli

Roast parsnips
Roast Carrots
Sprouts

Red cabbage
Parsnips
Sprouts

@Largethighsbadeyes

Not counting potatoes

Sprouts
Mashed Carrot and swede (counting that as 1)
Roast parsnips

Also, what are"nice carrots"?

Chantenay carrots. Just meant not your usual carrot cut into batons.

Roast potatoes, roast carrots and sprouts. Unless my leek and walnut veggie stuffing balls count, in which case ditch the carrots.

Sprouts
Parsnips
Peas

Excluding potato then.....sprouts, parsnips and cabbage.

Chantilly carrots, peas with bacon and onions and sprouts with chestnuts, bacon and Marsala. Royalties are pure footrest and crunch, so not veg. Red cabbage is for Christmas Eve with the glazed ham.

Sprouts
Carrots
Peas

Red cabbage, stringless beans, honey roasted carrots. Obviously roast potatoes are essential too but I'm not counting those as a vegetable.

Broccoli
Mashed swede and carrot
Braised Savoy cabbage

Sprouts
Parsnips
Baby carrots

Chantenay carrots. Just meant not your usual carrot cut into batons

Definitely posh carrots not the sort you would dice and bung in a Cottage Pie.

Carrots, peas and sprouts
