Brits’ favourite vegetable on a Christmas dinner is the humble Brussels sprout - with one in five (20%) placing the traditional green vegetable at the top of their list, according to new research. The study, conducted by Farmhouse Inns, looked into Brits’ preferences when it comes to plating and enjoying the perfect Christmas dinner, as well as their plans for 2022’s big day.
According to the research, the increased cost of living has had a major impact on this year’s festivities, with more than a third (34%) of Brits admitting they plan to cook for fewer people this year to save on costs. The younger generation are feeling the pinch the most, with more than half (51%) of Gen Z (under 25s) admitting they’ll be catering for fewer people for Christmas 2022.
When it comes to the perfect Christmas plate – the nation has spoken. According to survey data, our winning combination has three slices of turkey, four roast potatoes, three pigs in blankets, two Yorkshire puddings, three different types of vegetables (Brussels sprouts, broccoli and carrots) as well as stuffing - all covered in gravy.
