‘What’s the worst roast dinner crime?’ – 16 unappetising morsels
We’re almost at the point where many people will have the mother of all roast dinners, so this question from VeryBritishProblems is really well timed.

The worst I've experienced:
I was staying somewhere and put "no pork" down under dietary requirements. They served me just roast potatoes and veg. No protein. #JewishProblems https://t.co/mzFhMre5r4

Differing temperatures of each component.

On balance, we have to say that this is the winner, winner, horrible dinner.
Out in the field the Army call it an 'All in' they serve your dinner in your 'Mess Tin' as you walk through the serving area then plonk the dessert, usually a sponge pudding with custard on top!!!
