Yes

WetWashing22 · 12/09/2022 19:39

No!

stayathomegardener · 12/09/2022 19:39

Not physically on it but with it?
Yes absolutely.

PiggyPlumPie · 12/09/2022 19:39

We often have them to add colour if the plate looks too bland.

DisforDarkChocolate · 12/09/2022 19:40

I try to eat peas once a day so I'm firmly in the 'with' camp

SparrowsNest · 12/09/2022 19:40

Either is fine - depends whether or not you like peas

FilthyforFirth · 12/09/2022 19:40

Peas should never be on any plate, they are the devils food.

GiantTortoise · 12/09/2022 19:41

Is it that the "no" person doesn't like peas? Or that they don't think anyone should have peas with a roast? The first is fair enough, the second is ridiculous!

CorvusPurpureus · 12/09/2022 19:42

Technically no - it should be greens. Peas are too sweet. But meh if that is what your family like!

Sunnyqueen · 12/09/2022 19:42

I mean it's not wrong to but there are so many better options why would you?

mrsbyers · 12/09/2022 19:42

Yea for me no for him

FlissyPaps · 12/09/2022 19:42

My gran puts mushy peas on a roast dinner.

Don’t knock it til you try it.

OhLordyWhatNow · 12/09/2022 19:42

Garden peas or mange tout - yes, why wouldn't you

Grey marrowfat peas from a can 🤮 or mushy? - no, the devils vegetable

Flumpymc · 12/09/2022 19:43

I like peas but they are not a roast dinner vegetable.

Buttons294749 · 12/09/2022 19:43

God no!

KiraKiraHikaru · 12/09/2022 19:44

The no person likes peas but will not accept them as being part of a roast dinner

PeanutButterCheesecake · 12/09/2022 19:45

Yes they should be on there, but not the only vegetable - should be at least 3 different ones

AlisonDonut · 12/09/2022 19:46

Peas are fine as part of a roast dinner. If No person makes the dinner then they can leave the peas off.

Shodan · 12/09/2022 19:48

Only if there's nothing more interesting to have.

I once roasted pickled onions to have with a roast dinner, as someone was adamant that they were delicious. I queried the 'pickled' bit, but they were certain.

They were not delicious. Not in the slightest. Peas would definitely have been better.

takingmytimeonmyride · 12/09/2022 19:53

Yes, I like peas with my roast.

MiltonRoad · 12/09/2022 19:54

With lamb- fine, the mint and sweetness goes well. Not on any other roast though

JenniferAllisonPhillipaSue · 12/09/2022 19:55

DH likes marrowfat peas. I like garden peas. Both can appear on a roast as an accompanying vegetable. But not together.

mac1974 · 12/09/2022 19:56

Yes. You can never have too many types of vegetables with a roast dinner. The more the merrier.

strawberry2017 · 12/09/2022 19:56

Peas on a roast for me!

Epicstorm · 12/09/2022 19:57

I love peas so yes. When I was had it was always mushy peas but I tend to have garden. Always a choice at the carvery near us.
