Apart from sprouts what other 'traditional' veg for dinner?

[wangle99]

Well, the title says it all really!

What other traditional veg are there that go with a Christmas meal?

Parsnips...

roast potatoes, roast parsnips, then I usually do carrots and a cauliflower cheese as well. Plus a green veg as I hate sprouts (I do them but for everyone else).

easy to overdo the number of veg needed imo

there's so much already on the plate that i think you only need 3 veg (in addition to pots) maximum. in fact i think you could manage with only 2 - for me it would be sprouts and parsnips.

yes, perfect plate = turkey, stuffing, sausage, roast pots, sprouts, parsnips.

carrots, cauliflower, peas - whatever you like really. Personally I hate parsnip.

According to mil you must have carrots for colour, mind i tend a little as possible of her veg as she cook it until it collaspes at hint of being touch by a fork.

sweet potato mash w/carmelised onions is a tradition in my family as I am from the South. Its soooooo yummy.

baked red cabbage gives festive colour
peas

Mashed swede with LOTS of butter... yum

Roast carrots and roast butternut squash , defiently no sprouts will be going on my plate at xmas

Roast parsnips and carrots and peas. Do you class potatos as veg or are they a forgone conclusion??

Dad does carrots, peas, roast parsnips as well as sprouts (he loves them, would be happy with a bowl of just them).

We will be having roast parsnips, carrots, roast and mashed potatoes, swede (not for me), sprouts (again not for me) and broccoli (this time for me ).
