Do these foods belong at Christmas lunch?

Christmas lunch is a very, very personal thing, as the heated debates we have every year show! :rofl:

So, big poll time: do these foods belong on your Christmas lunch?

If you have something else, please do tell us about it in the thread!

Yorkshire pudding people, out yourselves :tongue:

We were trying to work out at work if it's a specifically Welsh thing :lol:

I see bread sauce is not getting the appreciation it deserves :redface:

I'm confused how only 9% of people think roast meat belongs on Christmas Dinner. You should've split roast meat into different types of meat.

It's 9% of votes, and you can vote for multiple people. I reckon probably around 13-15 people have actually voted at the time of writing (based on roast potatoes as the most popularly voted item having a total of 13 votes meaning at least 13 people have voted and probably few didn't vote for it) which would make it not 8.39% of people (it's that percentage of votes) but in fact 80-90% of people. Which probably isn't that unrealistic - out of ~15 people there are probably going to be one or two vegetarians/vegans and I suspect the majority of the rest voting will agree that roast meat should be there.

You could probably determine that information by running the opposite poll i.e. single vote only, select the item you least believe belongs at the lunch, and then you can see how many don't think roast meat is suitable and the complement will be those who do think it does :biggrin:

Confusingly it's 9% of total votes (in a multiple choice poll!)

It only allows 16 options at most and I wanted to break down other things – feel free to make a 'What meat do you eat at Christmas?' thread! :smile:

Whaaatttttttt

Bread sauce is a sauce made from infusing milk with onion and cloves (you cut an onion in half, stick cloves in it and put it in milk that you warm), then you add breadcrumbs to the flavoured milk. It is delicious and we always make about a litre of it for our Christmas lunch and then turkey sandwiches :drool:

Got to admit, never in my many years of life have I ever tried bread sauce.

We do traditional turkey and trimmings, plus rice and at least 2-3 Sri Lankan curries :coma: Soooooooooooooooo much food :coma:

I'm the only person in my family who believes pigs in blankets should be part of the Christmas meal. Not sure how I'm related to said family tbh :eyeball:

Oh well, all the more pigs in blankets for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :biggrin: :nutcase: :woo:
You have to have a Yorkshire pudding with your Christmas lunch!
A crucial opinion, but sprouts are a part to my christmas. Instead of pigs in blankets, I am used to eat beans in blankets, roast meat with sauce too.

It is not always the same I am eating, but these foods in particular.

Sprouts of course. Try to type on a little keyboard of your smartphone and you know how difficult it is to write words.

I would love to know whether you have ever had Christmas Pudding at Christmas. I know that it is a British specialty.
