Troll grade C-.

I'm not sure if this is a troll or not, but this seems so ridiculous. My family doesn't care about this sort of thing, as long as the food is good.

A LOT of people care about this sort of thing, and a LOT of guests would comment on this (both at the dinner, or in the car on the way home).

Wow. What a bunch of rude guests then, especially if they comment while at the dinner table.

Seriously. We don’t all have to be doormats because you have accepted it for yourself.

Meat is meat and sides are sides so put your sides with your meat and enjoy what you eat.

Ugh, cheap Boomers gonna Boom.

instead of burgundy mushrooms, do mushrooms with shallots and sherry
basically you need a recipe with a white instead of a red

everything else is fine

[Anonymous]

I’d happily eat Burgundy mushrooms and I don’t care what “goes.”

OP you are insane.

This is an absurd thing to be concerned about.

Children are not getting vaccinated and are not being fed and you came here to talk about a ham?

Shame on you. Really you are ridiculous.

I would serve prime rib alongside the ham, but I like prime rib better

[Anonymous]

Could you chop up he mushrooms finely and turn it into an horsdouvre? Would be good on French bread slices

So that’s what you want to discuss on the food and cooking forum? If so, start your own thread about it.

- Creamed spinach
- Mashed potatoes
- Roasted carrots (I think OK w ham)
- Roasted green beans (I think OK w ham)
- Burgundy mushrooms (I think NOT OK w ham)
- Rolls (parkerhouse style)

I think I would have done scalloped instead of mashed potatoes and probably something other than creamed spinach. The mushrooms w the ham just does not sound right, though. Which is what I was most looking forward to

All these go great with ham including mashed potatoes and spinach and burgundy mushrooms. Keep as is.

Scalloped potatoes are soooo popular BUT would be too rich aka fatty with ham. Mashed is much better.
Everything is fine.
As for the mushrooms. Make them and either serve and enjoy or hold and serve another night to your nuclear family with some beef.

All of those work with ham.

Are you entertaining your boss too? Or just family?

It sounds like a lovely, cohesive family dinner.
