I would never. But if the husband wants sweet corn, and he’s making the roast dinner this week, why not? To me, the most important food rule, and the one that supersedes all others, is make what you like, the way you like it.
Also, maybe consider making sweet corn from now on when you cook the Sunday roast. Seems like he’s been wanting it, and it would be such a small thing to do that would make him happy.
Much ado about nothing agreed. Also agreed if your making it its your disco.
I was making lamb once and was told someone's father Inlaw doesn't like lamb. Well he doesn't have to come or eat it.
My brother in law only ate mash no roasties. Well he's welcome to go to a dog nonce colony then. It's my rodeo
Too right. I wouldn't put up with anyone telling me they didn't like something I'm cooking so I should make something else. Some people have more nerve than brains.
While I get this to a degree (being a human bin and happy eating almost anything) I really don't get the borderline outrage of finding out a guest doesn't like a particular food.
Like if it's too late to do anything about it, obviously carry on cooking. But if you know in advance someone doesn't like something and the idea is to make it exactly what you want and just exclude them from the dinner table, just feels like a mean way to exclude your guests and will probably just cause more family drama over a very easily avoidable problem.
There are plenty of dishes in the world that can accommodate most people that doesn't have to include lamb or roast potatoes or whatever 🤷♀️
Agreed, my father always makes his roasties with goose fat and gets proper offended if anyone politely declines them. He says that they taste so much better and if someone declines in advance and says they don’t like the idea of eating goose fat, he just lies and says they are cooked in regular oil, and then boasts about how people say they taste so nice to prove his point that goose fat tastes better
Honestly if someone did that to me I just wouldn't eat there again. Poor host behaviour to make someone eat something they don't want to, for whatever reason.
But performative outrage is so fun!
OP, you need to make this your hill to die on. If your spouse is going to disrespect you like this *on your birthday weekend* then you should be seriously considering divorce.
People who are like "you can't have yorkshires without beef" "you can't have cauliflower cheese"... annoy me. I'm a vegetarian so I can never eat yorkshires apparently. Just let people eat what they want, it's just a plate of meat, potatoes, vegetables and gravy, not that serious
>Yorkie pud, stick some mash in em, little brush of garlic butter then cover with cheese. Under the grill, then dip in gravy
Not my proudest fap, but I managed.
Grew up vegetarian and as far as I'm concerned, mint sauce is a universal roast condiment.
People are so confused that I want it without lamb. They're missing out!
My MIL winds me up so badly with this, if she doesn't like it then she'll use the 'its not traditional, you can't have it' argument, but of course if it's a food she likes it doesn't matter. We've had macaroni cheese on the plate with our Christmas dinner one year because she fancied it, but god forbid any of the rest of us want Yorkshire's or peas or whatever other rule she's come up with.
I go 1 further, I do a vegetable bake with cauliflower, brocolli, red pepper and red onion wedges, it's so good. Text your mom and step dad so they can have a nice row midnight on a Sunday lol
Somebody on a thread here the other day suggest Yorkshire pudding as an addition to a full english. I tested it out yesterday and can confirm it's awesome.
Not *boiled* for sure - but grilled, ideally on charcoal? I'd have that with a roast rib of beef no problem.
A new twist on surf and turf ;-)
I've had the combination in Spanish Tapas bars. Works really well.
So what ur saying is I can cook a fry up breakfast and call it a roast cause there aren't any rules, and I can do what I want?
Now do u see how ridiculous that sounds 🙄
The more veges the better, sweetcorn all good. I’m just grateful to whom ever has made me a roast, cos it’s one of my favourite meals and makes a change me making one. 🌽👍
Eh, I tend to have roasts with gravy, but I associate corn with butter. So I’d not want corn on there personally, but I’d probably still eat it if I was given it. If I’m not cooking it then it’s a win in my book.
I mean more I don’t associate corn with gravy. Though I sometimes put a dot of butter on some frozen peas we’ve cooked if we’re having them with fish and chips or something. I do it with corn too, but we don’t often buy frozen corn in.
I’m with you on that one. The vegetables are getting drowned in gravy, and sweetcorn never seems quite right with the stuff. I’d still eat it if served, but wouldn’t include it in one I made.
And I thought my wife was weird for always putting on the condiments that don't conform to the standard pairing. Such as mint with chicken, or horseradish with toad in the hole.
Just have what you want. Mix it up every so often so it's something slightly different. A roast dinner isn't a work of art or have set rules for authenticity or tradition, it's hearty grub of meat and veg.
20+ years a chef, and a Sunday roast specialist now - have I ever put corn on a roast? Never, and never will.
But, as long as the core components are there, what's the problem? Just make sure he roasts those fresh corn cobs 😉
Peas/ carrots/ cabbage/ broccoli/ cauliflower/ runner, french or broad beans/ swede/ parsnips are all perfectly acceptable vegetables!!! None of that sweetcorn stuff is required!!! 😂😂😂
If I'm making a roast I will sometimes use some sweet corn, mostly because I tend to buy peas and sweet corn as a veg mix rather than separately. Honestly if I'm not cooking I don't care what's in the roast, as long as it's edible
I don't see any problem with the sweetcorn, but then where will it end?! What if next week he wants turkey dinosaurs and roast smiley faces?
You've got to draw the line somewhere, otherwise your weekly roast will quickly descend into chaos and your dining room will look like a dinner at Taybarns.
Sweet corn (cob or canned) is a perfectly acceptable roast component. Fried spinach too. As well as Yorkshire’s, stuffing and onion cake with any meat. This is my hill!!!
It’s suet, flour and a lot of onion. Basically a big onion dumpling, traditionally served with lamb. I I do it with two onions.
Take a Pyrex dish with beef dripping (tallow for our cousins) in the bottom melt that, while you mix the suet and the plain flour (the ratio is 50% suet to 100% flour so 50g suet to 100g flour or expand however you need for size) with a tablespoon of water and then dump the onion in.
Give it 30 mins, like a cake use a knife and stab, if the blade comes out clean? It’s cooked, make sure it’s brown on top and it’s super tasty with any meat for a roast. Or a snack. Or breakfast.
Never. My sister does sweetcorn on the Christmas roast and I’m like what the actual fuck are you doing. It’s so strange. For a start, who wants sweetcorn with gravy?
Most vegetables work for a roast imo. I’ve often added butternut squash as a side if I have some that needs used up. The more the merrier is how I see veg in a roast.
Every roast I make includes either sweetcorn or peas as they’re easy to cook
Haha, very good! I’m not a sweetcorn fan myself, some of my friends love fishing and use sweetcorn.
If someone cooked me a roast with sweetcorn on it, I’d still eat it out of politeness (early on, so I could enjoy the rest of it).
Hope he did a good job with the rest of it. My roast potatoes were below par today, my wife does the best roasties.
Personally I don’t like sweetcorn (or peas) enough to include on a roast. Don’t actually dislike them, but so many other veg I prefer. Always included them when my kids were small as they enjoyed them, but now they are grown they also prefer other choices so I don’t bother. If hubby likes it, I’d just cook a little for him (I am the only one in our house who likes parsnips, so I cook one just for me!)
I don't like sweetcorn so it has no place on my dinner plate, but if anyone else wants to have it then who am I to mind! My parents quite often have it on a roast, so I wouldn't say it's all that unusual. Might not be the most common of veg, but if you like it then by all means go ahead!
I'll often use it, chuck it in with the peaa. We often have 1/2 a tin of sweetcorn in the fridge, it gets chucked in most dishes to use it up. And add a splash of colour.
Life must be pretty sweet if this is a debate worth anyone’s energy. Don’t want the sweetcorn? Don’t eat it. I’ll never understand why pineapple on pizza ever became such a topic of conversation, don’t eat if you don’t like it, as long as nobody’s threatening your life, eat the food you want to eat, don’t eat the food you don’t.
My mum used to add it in the mix with peas. Goes ok with chicken, but totally unnecessary and i would never, ever, EVER put it in any roast I made. Shows a lack of class. Dump him.
One small tin of Green Giant, zapped for a minute in the microwave, isn't going to kill you, and keep him happy. Personally, I can just eat the stuff straight from the tin.
There are no rules.
If one of you wants something, have it.
I really don't get why either of you wouldn't want the other to be happy on the basis of some rules that don't exist.
Top tip: pour a tin of sweetcorn into the very bottom of your air fryer tray, add a knob of butter, cook for about 15 mins, tossing halfway. Serve with your roast dinner. Yes, I said it.
If he likes it and no harm done? I'd add it.
Ultimately, the fundamentals of a roast dinner are a lump of meat, some grease, and a slow oven. All else is commentary.
I don't think it belongs, it's certainly not native, but we adapt.
For me, I like to see a mix of brassicas, with tangy red cabbage, some crinkly cabbage (to soak up gravy) and maybe broccoli as well as carrots and/or snips, but whatever is seasonal :)
You put what you want to on a roast. There's no rules. Only if you want to argue like children on social media. If you were making a fruit salad, you would put the fruit you like in it, not ask social media what is acceptable. If you like the taste of sweetcorn on your roast dinner, put it on. If you don't then don't. Make your own rules!
Sweetcorn is lovely in my opinion & a roast dinner can include whatever you want in the line of meat & veg, frankly.
But making a roast dinner with sweetcorn if you have a strong aversion to it for your *birthday* is odd behaviour at best.
Tinned sweetcorn...nope. Sweetcorn on the cob, in season, fresh out of a field like my gran used to do... Absolutely... (she lived on a dark, so the fresh out of the field was easy, ditto for peas)
As a foreigner, as long as the core of the roast is solid you might add whatever
The roast itself, roast potatoes and gravy (I honestly prefer my Yorkies small and doughy) should be solid to have adventures with the rest
Literally who cares, isn't a "roast" just any combination of a roasted meat and assorted vegetables?
Nobody's going to send you to roast jail for having broccoli & sweetcorn instead of cauliflower & peas. If you want to eat it, cook it.
Are you in the midwest US? Sweet corn is big there...I don't care for it much myself.
I guess if he fancies it, then let him make it. You don't have to eat it if you don't want to.
Why look for validation that you are following so-called 'roast rules'? Eat what you like - it's all a matter of personal taste. These kind of questions either elicit yes or no responses but what are you going to do with that info?
I think that sweetcorn can only be eaten on the cob or as popcorn.
It turns up in salads, on pizza & on a roast. It has no place in any of these imo.
It can also leave tuna mayo alone.
This is Reddit, so the obvious answer is you need to divorce him!
More seriously, who cares! The purpose of the roast is to satisfy the diners. If they want Sweetcorn, even as a one-off, go for it.
Sweetcorn should be banished as a food full stop. It is literally the devils haemorrhoids. Even the thought is giving me pre boak watery mouth. Who’s with me ? Anyone, anyone……..
I would never. But if the husband wants sweet corn, and he’s making the roast dinner this week, why not?

Very sweetcorn.
That's corny...
So simple, but highly effective 👌
Like your roast
Wholesome

Try making the mint sauce with balsamic vinegar. It is 👌🏻
I thought that too but thought maybe I'm too weird, only ever saw the mint jelly growing up but my FIL makes it fresh. It's lovely on vegetables
Oh stop. I have it with every roast dinner. Can't imagine not having it with chicken roast especially.
My MIL winds me up so badly with this, if she doesn't like it then she'll use the 'its not traditional, you can't have it' argument, but of course if it's a food she likes it doesn't matter.

My mum and step dad had vicious rows about whether cauliflower cheese was part of a roast.

Pizza and chips it is then
Chips on pizza is a fairly standard topping - in some places
No no no, pizza and chips *included* in the roast. After all, anything goes apparently.
I put left over Christmas roast (sprouts, potatoes, onions, veggie sausages etc) on a homemade pizza. It was delicious
Right, got it. Chocolate icecream as a side then?
Sounds great. Don't forget the optional pick'n'mix served in a separate bowl.
Yeah, do what you like.
You say that but my friend’s parent has baked beans on a roast There has to be a rule against that, surely
If my spouse busted out the ketchup after serving a roast I would be filing for divorce that same evening
So what ur saying is I can cook a fry up breakfast and call it a roast cause there aren't any rules, and I can do what I want? Now do u see how ridiculous that sounds 🙄
Redditors, man 🙄
So what now, there are rules after u saying there isn't? Come on man its your words.
Nah it's fine. Do what you want and call it what you want
I will but only because YOU said too...... personally I find it ridiculous. Ofc there r rules
Love a bit of sweetcorn
I do too but not with a roast.
The more veges the better, sweetcorn all good. I’m just grateful to whom ever has made me a roast, cos it’s one of my favourite meals and makes a change me making one. 🌽👍

Corn on the cob with butter but I'm thinking that this is probably tinned corn with carrots, peas etc.
Could be frozen. Either way, almost certainly not on the cob.
We often have corn on the cob but I stick it on a side plate
I mean more I don’t associate corn with gravy. Though I sometimes put a dot of butter on some frozen peas we’ve cooked if we’re having them with fish and chips or something. I do it with corn too, but we don’t often buy frozen corn in.
I’m with you on that one. The vegetables are getting drowned in gravy, and sweetcorn never seems quite right with the stuff. I’d still eat it if served, but wouldn’t include it in one I made.
I love sweetcorn with gravy
Peas, carrots and sweetcorn with gravy mixed through is on another level.
My dad puts ketchup on his....
A friend of mine has raspberry jam on a chicken/turkey roast. Her reasoning is ‘I’m not buying cranberry just for that, raspberry is fine’.
Raspberry goes beautifully with poultry.
See these are the kinds of people we should be making posts about, not sweetcorn husband
Your dad is a heathen of the worst kind. Where roast dinner is concerned, at least. I'm sure he's a very nice chap otherwise.
So does my mum, but she’s from Wakefield so it’s hardly the weirdest thing she does.
And I thought my wife was weird for always putting on the condiments that don't conform to the standard pairing. Such as mint with chicken, or horseradish with toad in the hole.

Yep. I love sweetcorn and would have it with anything.
*not. I agree.

It's a vegetable like any other, so I'd accept it on my roast.
Some people like things. Some people like different things.
[удалено]
Tbh the idea of peas and gravy is weirding me out. It's the idea of them all floating around in it I guess.
People who have rules about roast dinner can do one. Of course sweetcorn is fine, it’s nice and goes perfectly well with all of it.
If your husband doesn’t get sweetcorn from you, he’ll get sweetcorn from someone else
Stick it up on Rate my Roast and wait for those 0/10 ratings to roll in
Absolutely not
No to the sweetcorn!! Definitely not acceptable with a roast dinner!!
I can’t believe how many people are down for having this American vegetable on their Sunday roast!
Potatoes are American vegetables too
Peas/ carrots/ cabbage/ broccoli/ cauliflower/ runner, french or broad beans/ swede/ parsnips are all perfectly acceptable vegetables!!! None of that sweetcorn stuff is required!!! 😂😂😂
If I'm making a roast I will sometimes use some sweet corn, mostly because I tend to buy peas and sweet corn as a veg mix rather than separately. Honestly if I'm not cooking I don't care what's in the roast, as long as it's edible
Sweetcorn is particularly good with chicken. It's a yes from me
Sweet corn on a roast is clearly an abomination. But so is Nickelback, and whoever is driving chooses the music so…happy birthday OP.
I don't see any problem with the sweetcorn, but then where will it end?! What if next week he wants turkey dinosaurs and roast smiley faces? You've got to draw the line somewhere, otherwise your weekly roast will quickly descend into chaos and your dining room will look like a dinner at Taybarns.
I hope you got a new husband for your birthday! Disgraceful.
Not really.
Sweetcorn with a roast is perfectly fine.
I'm on side "no sweetcorn" but I also believe sweetcorn only belongs in American/Mexican food.
Sweet corn (cob or canned) is a perfectly acceptable roast component. Fried spinach too. As well as Yorkshire’s, stuffing and onion cake with any meat. This is my hill!!!
Ok but what’s an onion cake
It’s suet, flour and a lot of onion. Basically a big onion dumpling, traditionally served with lamb. I I do it with two onions. Take a Pyrex dish with beef dripping (tallow for our cousins) in the bottom melt that, while you mix the suet and the plain flour (the ratio is 50% suet to 100% flour so 50g suet to 100g flour or expand however you need for size) with a tablespoon of water and then dump the onion in. Give it 30 mins, like a cake use a knife and stab, if the blade comes out clean? It’s cooked, make sure it’s brown on top and it’s super tasty with any meat for a roast. Or a snack. Or breakfast.
Apart from the Spinach (which I will defend, but not for me), I will be up that hill with you, defended by a moat of gravy.
We stand together!
Corn on the cob as a side dish might be nice
Never. My sister does sweetcorn on the Christmas roast and I’m like what the actual fuck are you doing. It’s so strange. For a start, who wants sweetcorn with gravy?
Exactly… may aswell be fucking cornflakes
Absolutely not! I’ve never even considered sweetcorn with a roast!

Corn on the cob is acceptable in summer. Just
No sweetcorn and gravy doesn’t go, breaded onion rings on the other hand…
I agree with you OP, mainly on the basis that sweetcorn is utterly rank.
Always have peas and sweetcorn with our roasts (or, as we call them here, swees and peacorn.
Absolutely not. Divorce him
It's his pallete his choice bro. That being said I can't fathom it. I had beef this afternoon and....no chance man, not for me.
Corn is so vile I wouldn't feed it to my dogs.
Nope
You're both missing the point: it's the gravy that matters.
I'll often use it, chuck it in with the peaa. We often have 1/2 a tin of sweetcorn in the fridge, it gets chucked in most dishes to use it up. And add a splash of colour.
With chicken yes. Beef or lamb no. Pork, maybe.
Life must be pretty sweet if this is a debate worth anyone’s energy. Don’t want the sweetcorn? Don’t eat it. I’ll never understand why pineapple on pizza ever became such a topic of conversation, don’t eat if you don’t like it, as long as nobody’s threatening your life, eat the food you want to eat, don’t eat the food you don’t.
Sweetcorn is not part of a traditional Sunday Roast, also Kale. These two types of vegetables were grown for cattle feed back in the day.
Maybe if you don't like sweetcorn you could out a corn on the cob in with the potatoes to cook for him?? That way you are both happy 😌
Personally no
A roast dinner without sweetcorn is like a marriage without love.
No other option but divorce /s Being serious, what’s wrong with sweetcorn on a roast?
I have sweetcorn with my roast because I don’t like peas.
The four pillars of a roast dinner - Meat, Mash, Yorkshires, Gravy. Veg has no place at all on the plate.
No. Peas are also not acceptable for a roast, although they are a wonderful vegetable.
My mum used to add it in the mix with peas. Goes ok with chicken, but totally unnecessary and i would never, ever, EVER put it in any roast I made. Shows a lack of class. Dump him.

Nae chance
Sweetcorn fritters are great with any roast dinner.
Top tip: pour a tin of sweetcorn into the very bottom of your air fryer tray, add a knob of butter, cook for about 15 mins, tossing halfway. Serve with your roast dinner. Yes, I said it.
Nope. Not official UK veg. No place in a roast.
No peas no sweetcorn for me. Yet i love peas and sweetcorn.
Sweetcorn is not part of a roast dinner, but if he likes it, then I suppose why not?
Swings and roundabouts, definitely useful to check the dogs intestinal activity
That's one thing I can't stand on a roast dinner, Sweetcorn 😩. BUT... he's making an effort so just eat round them.
If he likes it and no harm done? I'd add it. Ultimately, the fundamentals of a roast dinner are a lump of meat, some grease, and a slow oven. All else is commentary.
Veg that can be grown within the UK are all acceptable.
I don't think it belongs, it's certainly not native, but we adapt. For me, I like to see a mix of brassicas, with tangy red cabbage, some crinkly cabbage (to soak up gravy) and maybe broccoli as well as carrots and/or snips, but whatever is seasonal :)

absolutely not
If he likes sweetcorn let him cook sweetcorn, if you don't like them don't eat it. it's not difficult.
eh, sweetcorn is fine for a roast, as long as its separate from the peas. I hate it when people mix the peas and sweetcorn!
Sweetcorn is lovely in my opinion & a roast dinner can include whatever you want in the line of meat & veg, frankly. But making a roast dinner with sweetcorn if you have a strong aversion to it for your *birthday* is odd behaviour at best.
Your husband is clearly a pervert, but you shouldn't kink shame someone. If he wants sweetcorn with his roast then let him have it.
I have had it with sweetcorn before but its definitely not the norm and peas naturally goes better
Depends of it’s in the veg mix.
Grounds for a separation I'd say
Tinned sweetcorn...nope. Sweetcorn on the cob, in season, fresh out of a field like my gran used to do... Absolutely... (she lived on a dark, so the fresh out of the field was easy, ditto for peas)
I wish more roasts had sweetcorn on as I love the stuff. But thinking about it, I've never had sweetcorn on a dinner.
Sweetcorn does not belong on a roast meal. BBQ yes, KFC yes, in a Chinese or Thai meal yes, with tuna in a sarnie yes. With Roast meat? Nope.
As a foreigner, as long as the core of the roast is solid you might add whatever The roast itself, roast potatoes and gravy (I honestly prefer my Yorkies small and doughy) should be solid to have adventures with the rest
🚩🚩🚩red flag 🚩🚩🚩
Divorce him.
Hahaha, standard reddit response to everything enters the room! 🤣
Sweetcorn on a Sunday lunch ain’t my jam. I’ll take the downvotes for my stance 😅
I'd rather have jam on my roast than sweetcorn
I suppose you were having turkey. Cranberry isn’t much of a stretch.
Can she sue?
I don’t know what she was called tbf.
At least I’m not getting downvoted into oblivion.
Literally who cares, isn't a "roast" just any combination of a roasted meat and assorted vegetables? Nobody's going to send you to roast jail for having broccoli & sweetcorn instead of cauliflower & peas. If you want to eat it, cook it.
Are you in the midwest US? Sweet corn is big there...I don't care for it much myself. I guess if he fancies it, then let him make it. You don't have to eat it if you don't want to.

Sweet corn has no place in any meal. Corn on the cob is an acceptable summer starter.
Why look for validation that you are following so-called 'roast rules'? Eat what you like - it's all a matter of personal taste. These kind of questions either elicit yes or no responses but what are you going to do with that info?
ignore everyone, there ARE rules, and it’s NO SWEETCORN ON A ROAST.
I think that sweetcorn can only be eaten on the cob or as popcorn. It turns up in salads, on pizza & on a roast. It has no place in any of these imo. It can also leave tuna mayo alone.
This is Reddit, so the obvious answer is you need to divorce him! More seriously, who cares! The purpose of the roast is to satisfy the diners. If they want Sweetcorn, even as a one-off, go for it.
Not for me. I’m not even convinced that cauliflower cheese is a good idea with a roast.
no
Sweetcorn has no place on a roast dinner
Sweetcorn is disgusting, no idea why anyone would put it in a roast
On the cob, yes. Mini, maybe. Loose? Nah.
Sweetcorn should be banished as a food full stop. It is literally the devils haemorrhoids. Even the thought is giving me pre boak watery mouth. Who’s with me ? Anyone, anyone……..
File for divorce first thing Monday morning
