First time doing it this year. Added sweetcorn to mine as I like it! Rate my roast (Christmas dinner)

Well done! It looks tasty.

Roast is one of the most unphotoable foods, as any thread about roasts on this site will tell you. Post after post of indeterminate slop.

You can do it, but generally people don't arrange it when they plate it, especially if it's self serve or part self serve.

Yabu for putting sweetcorn on your roast, sorry 🤭

Flicitytricity · 26/12/2024 17:00

It looks lovely!
Hope it tasted as good as it looks 😋

LesLavandes · 26/12/2024 17:01

Looks great

Difficult to tell as it's in a pile rather than flat on the plate as sep elements. I can't think how I'd begin to eat food from a pile

Can't you? I'd give it a go 😂

Bigearringsbigsmile · 26/12/2024 17:06

Tell me about your gravy please. It looks alarmingly bistoish

Maybe this one is better. Agree presentation could have been better !

Looks like mine did, a mess.. but tasted fecking GORGEOUS ❤️ Yours looks like it tastes beautifully too. 10 out of 10 for me

TheRozzers · 26/12/2024 17:21

If you made it for me I would gratefully eat it but secretly judge you for the sweetcorn and Aunt Bessies Yorkshire pudding.

YABVVVVUU

TheoreticalVacuum · 26/12/2024 17:26

The veg doesn't look overcooked, the Yorkshires look good, but the sweetcorn would ruin it for me. However, I'm all for putting whatever you want with a roast. If you enjoyed it, then it was a winner. .

AllTheChaos · 26/12/2024 17:27

I confess I couldn’t cope with it all being piled up like that. I plate everything into distinct areas on the plate, and just go back for seconds if required.

krazipan · 26/12/2024 17:27

It looks delicious 😋

SagittariusDwarf · 26/12/2024 17:28

I think it looks nice and I'm also a fan of sweetcorn with a roast - goes well with gravy IMO! Who cares if not all of it was made "from scratch" - not everyone has time/ability/inclination to do that (me included). As long as it tasted good and there was enough of it then that's a winner in my view

Inextremis · 26/12/2024 17:28

Come on people - share yours, don't let the OP take all the heat! Here's mine - chicken, ham, roast potatoes, parsnips, sprouts, carrots, broccoli, stuffing, bread sauce, gravy, cranberry sauce. It was bloody lovely and hope yours was too!

Rate my roast!
Endofyear · 26/12/2024 17:30

It looks very yummy OP! I'd give you 9 out of 10, deducting one point because I'd like lots of cauliflower cheese and mashed Swede with butter and plenty of pepper 😋

PoundlandColumbo · 26/12/2024 17:52

@Inextremis Are you eating that off a saucer/side plate?

Thunderpants88 · 26/12/2024 17:56

Looks a tad messy but delightful

I have to say I would be horrified with sweetcorn on any dinner plate but I have bad memories of an ex who’s mouth tasted of sweetcorn so I am not unbiased in my loathing of the veg

MyBigFatGreekSalad · 26/12/2024 18:38

It looks like a petty average roast- nothing groundbreaking. Sorry op😂

Sweetest977 · 26/12/2024 18:38

Gravy was roasted tomato and garlic in air fryer with salt and pepper, some onion chopped up and then blended together with chicken stock! Some turkey juice added too. Was very nice

Also made a honey and mustard glaze for the gammon as it didn’t come glazed!

Sweetest977 · 26/12/2024 18:41

I know I’m a bit strange with the sweetcorn but someone I know had mayonnaise on theirs dinner 😧

Here's ours! Roast turkey, roast potatoes, mash, pigs in blankets, peas, carrots, broccoli and I had bread sauce and cranberry sauce on mine. There's additional maple roast carrots and chipolatas on the table too (two teenage boys ate this plus extras!)

Rate my roast!

2/10
it looks like it’s been run over by a truck
