I vote no broccoli

noelheadBandAid · 23/12/2016 13:44

I wouldn't have broccoli on a Xmas dinner

ICanTuckMyBoobsInMyPockets · 23/12/2016 13:45

I would say the delivery did you a favour.

Broccoli with Christmas dinner is all sorts of wrong.

GetTheeBehindMeSanta · 23/12/2016 13:45

You don't need three green vegetables with a roast dinner. Forget the broccoli.

SugarMiceInTheRain · 23/12/2016 13:45

When I mentioned broccoli for Christmas dinner, DH's face was a picture. 'Broccoli? For Christmas dinner? That's not Christmas food????!!' he spluttered! Nobody will notice the absence of broccoli on your table I'm sure.

will i live it down? Smile

I once forgot the roast parsnips!
I am still not allowed to forget it Xmas Sad

vvviola · 23/12/2016 13:52

In our house you wouldn't but that's because there's no celery, cauliflower and marrowfat peas on your list.

The parsnips would be given to the dog

NormaSmuff · 23/12/2016 14:04

marrowfat peas Envy vom Wink
oh, cauliflower,
do i need cauliflower?

i probably might do leeks in butter

I'm pretty sure the parsnips balance out the lack of cauliflower Grin

It's amazing the difference in what parts of Christmas dinner are considered essential by different people Xmas Smile

OccasionalNachos · 23/12/2016 14:28

I did get broccoli but it's going into tonight's salmon & broccoli pasta! Sprouts & cabbage are the only green veg needed for Xmas dinner.

TroysMammy · 23/12/2016 14:29

Broccoli and gravy, no, it's wrong.

allegretto · 23/12/2016 14:30

What are greens?

notaflyingmonkey · 23/12/2016 14:31

the green you are looking for is brussel sprouts. Waitrose have reduced them to 40p a bag!

You're welcome!

Astro55 · 23/12/2016 14:33

What are greens?

Any green vegetable - peas beans etc

KingJoffreysRestingCuntface · 23/12/2016 14:36

I'd say 'greens' were kale and spinich.

I feed my bunny 'greens'.

I'm doing broccoli with Christmas dinner.

Broccoli has no place in a Christmas dinner Shock

You've done your family a favour there Wink

showmetheminstrels · 23/12/2016 14:44

NOT any green vegetable!

woops, i have failed on the vegetable front for christmas day.
Patriciathestripper1 · 23/12/2016 14:48

Who puts broccoli on a Christmas dinner??😮

ginauk84 · 23/12/2016 14:54

We love our veggies and have:
Sprouts
Brocoli
Cauliflower
Cabbage
Carrots
Parsnips

I prefer the veg to the meat so we always have a good selection.

newbeginnings16 · 23/12/2016 15:23

Wow .. carrots sprouts and parsnips will do .. mind they will be war when I don't give cauliflower cheese 😂 never mind !

Astro55 · 23/12/2016 15:25

Broccoli has no place in a Christmas dinner

That's just bullying - 😂

HerChristmasFattyness · 23/12/2016 15:29

My mums doing
Carrots.
Peas
Cauliflower (not Cauliflower cheese. Cauliflower cheese and gravy is bleurgh)
Sprouts

ChickenPoop · 23/12/2016 15:30

For me the essential Christmas veg are peas, sprouts, carrots, parsnips and potatoes. No need for cabbage. Cauliflower, only if you are making cauliflower cheese.

You can scrap the broc.
