Does broccoli belong in a christmas dinner?

[CaipirinhasAllRound]

I'm trying to decide what veg to do. So far:
Roast tats
Roast parsnips and carrots
Red cabbage

what else? Don't want spouts

Ohhh I bought some Blinis and smoked salmon today! with creme fraiche though, will that matter??

I also bought some caviar. Never had it before!

Mil always does 3 types of potato.. Boiled, roasted and mashed. I just want roasted.

No broccoli just parsnips sprouts carrots and red cabbage. Every year I make soup as all my lot love it every year they all say maybe not have the soup next year as its so filling. I am pleased with this then when I say no soup this year they all freak out and demand it

I don't want just two types of vegetables Moondog.They're my favourite part of the meal. I don't care if it's wrong. And mine are certainly not grey and boiled to death.

No. Broccoli doesn't belong anywhere.

I love cauliflower cheese but prefer it boxing day with the cold meats.
Yes roast potatos + carrots and green beans for me.

I have a mixture of asparagus,broccoli,parsnips,carrots,beetroot,green beans,red cabbage,cabbage,peas,cauliflower and cheese etc,depending on which meats we're having,always two. This year it's turkey and salmon. Usually 3 or 4 types of vegetables. Two isn't enough.

And two types of potatoes. Always dauphinoise,and boiled with herb butter or roasted baby potatoes.

No.
Parsnips
Mashed swede
Carrots
Peas
Sprouts

And only one form of potato (roast

Don't want sprouts!!????

And what's wrong with sweetcorn?! It's about the only veg ds will eat! And I like it, I'm cooking so its in :)

Mind you this thread takes me back to the great vegetable argument of Christmas 1994 when my grandfather who was cooking, cooked 10 different vegetables for Christmas day dinner. He used every saucepan from his and my mothers kitchen. And left the washing up.

Trouble is I can't remember which veggies he cooked now although I remember asparagus being there :)

Sprouts are evil.

sweetcorn!! asparagus!!

sweetcorn's okay if it's tinned.

you cannot have asparagus in fucking December.
you may only eat asparagus when it's BRITISH and in season, therefore, May and a littl bit of June.

no. i dont know why but weve never, ever had broccoli with christmas dinner even although we have it about 3 times in a normal week.

carrots, sprouts and parsnips are our only veg at christmas (and roast potatoes obviously).
peas, turnip and mashed potatoes on new years day.

Surely you can have whichever veg you prefer. That's what we do

Brocolli is much nicer than sprouts. I'm not sure whether to do any or not - DD doesn't like it, but does like savoy cabbage so I'll be cooking some of that. The only other green veg she likes is marsh samphire which definitely doesn't belong with xmas dinner!

Roast potatoes. Roast parsnips. Carrot and swede mash. Sprouts.

NO broccoli, sweetcorn (wtf?) or asparagus

grimma nice stealth boast there, marsh samphire

I can have asparagus whenever I like.

Besides,I buy pounds of the stuff when in season,and blanche and freeze it.

Or perhaps even blanch it. So there!

A plate of brussels and gravy will do me

I wait until near the end of the season,when they usually sell it half priceyes, I'm a cheapskate,and buy bunches and bunches of it.
It still tastes good after being frozen imho.
