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.

Sweet corn
Roasted butternut squash
More sweet corn

Cauliflower cheese
Carrots with honey and thyme
Sprouts with bacon

If potatoes are not included then:

Parsnips
Broccoli
Carrots

Sprouts are disgusting and not a fan of cauliflower, swede or red cabbage.

Cabbage, Sweetcorn and carrots

Parsnips, red cabbage and potatoes

Glazed carrots, roasted parsnips and fancy sprouts (cut in half and roasted with bacon and chestnuts).
I am baffled by cauliflower cheese as a vegetable side!

@IgiveupallthenamesIwantedareg0

Potatoes ARE a vegetable. Why does anyone need / want different 3 vegetables just because it's Christmas Dinner????????? Potatoes = yes Brussel sprouts with or without whatever you want = yes Third veg = no need!

I like veg and any meal feels incomplete without a decent quantity and variety of it.

Same as you, OP. In fact that's exactly what I've bought plus the obligatory sprouts.

Baby carrots - must be baby carrots specifically, idk why but they taste better

Potatoes - roasted and mashed! Gotta have both

Garden peas - love them

Mine is the same as yours @goldenoldie1 - except I prefer my carrots in batons and just boiled till tender, ditto with broccoli. I do roast my parsnips with honey though, divine!

I am doing that, plus sprouts, and cauliflower cheese this Xmas. I don't like those but others do and I don't mind the indulgence one day a year.

Seriously why are we counting potato as a vegetable!!
Ok fine -
Roasties
Carrot and swede mash
Roast onions

I know it's technically 4!!!!!

Roast parsnips.

Mangetout OR broccoli OR green beans

Carrots. Not too many.

(Am not counting potatoes as a veg here.)

Sprouts, SProuts and more sprouts

And if I had to
cauliflower and carrots

Roast potatoes
Sprouts
Peas.

I have more than that on a standard Sunday dinner - usually carrots, green beans, broccoli and baby corn. Usually cauliflower too either with the veg or in the form of cauli cheese. I simplify it for Xmas but 3 veg (not including root veg eg roasts and parsnips) . I do carrots and leeks cooked in stock with butter and ground pepper in the oven then sprouts. Never just plain, sometimes pan friend with pancetta other times as a bake. They are a bit boring on their own.

Sprouts, Parmesan baked parsnips and red cabbage.

Carrots, peas and sweetcorn

Sprouts
Carrot/swede
Parsnips

@Watapalava

Sprouts Carrot/swede Parsnips

That's 4.

Ready made root mash, from the salad aisle (carrot, swede & spud)
Frozen green beans
Frozen peas

I'm not spending Christmas Day in the kitchen prepping and cooking bloody vegetables.

In addition to roast spuds :

Carrots
Parnsips
Sprouts, for my sins

Roast potatoes
Petit Pois
Carrots

If I had to pick three it would be roast potatoes, Brussels sprouts and red cabbage. But I'd be missing the maple parsnips and other stuff!

sprouts, roast parsnips, braised red cabbage

(although i am interested in the pp cheesy leeks )

Braised red cabbage
Sprouts or tenderstem broccoli
Roast Parsnips

Dh will not be having either the sprouts or broccoli
He will have carrots and peas instead
