It's the best, and for many the most stressful, roast of the year

Today, millions across the UK are preparing their Christmas dinner. But it's not all about traditions
0:11
A recent YouGov survey found some more modern twists are also making their way onto our plates
0:17
Roast potatoes are king, with 81% of us having them this year
0:21
with carrots, stuffing, pigs in blankets and even sprouts all scoring highly
0:26
27% of Brits will have cauliflower cheese and 5% are having potato dauphinoise
0:32
But when it comes to what meat we have, turkey still rules the roost
0:36
with 57% of Brits eating it for lunch today. In Birmingham city centre, what are people having
0:42
Right, turkey, definitely. Brussels sprouts, definitely. Other vegetables, potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, we throw them in, very nice to eat
0:51
And stuffing, of course. My mum makes the best stuffing in the world
0:56
You cannot tell me otherwise. Are you a sprout man? Oh, yeah, definitely
1:00
I'm hoping for some roast beef. Going to my sister-in-law, so fingers crossed
1:05
Corn roast and vegetables. My husband has turkey and beef, usually. You're a two meat
1:12
Yes, indeed, yeah, and all the vegetables. As many vegetables as we can. Sprouts, peas, cauliflower
1:18
For dessert, Christmas pudding still wins the popular vote, with 41% having it today, if there's any room left
1:25
Uh, anything in the house really. Christmas pudding's obviously the one there, yeah
1:30
Traditional Christmas pudding with brandy sauce, brandy sauce. Normally I can't fit dessert because I'm not a sweet, I'm a savoury person
1:38
but yes, there'll probably be a trifle. We do like a trifle on Christmas Day
1:43
From sprouts to parsnips and stuffing to pigs in blankets, we'll be piling our plates high once again this Christmas
