Before we begin, let's make it absolutely clear that Yorkshire Puddings DO NOT belong on a Christmas Dinner plate (some of you probably have beef with that, literally.) Now we've got that out the way; from trifle to turkey, parsnips to pigs in blankets here's the definitive list of Christmas foods ranked from worst to best.
20. Christmas cake A great makeshift sealer when the plumber can't come out over Christmas, but pretty nondescript to eat.
19 Chesnuts They belong in stuffing.
18 Swede mash The root of the problem here is it tricks you into thinking it is normal mash (which is much tastier). Plus the vegetable itself looks like a cross between Phil Mitchell's head and a potato that's got into a fight on Prince of Wales Road.
17 Pate Can liver without.
16 Nut roast Tastes quite like stuffing but looks like meatloaf (the edible one)
15 Turkey Great on Christmas day, albeit a bit dry, but after a week of turkey curry, Bolognese and stir fry you'll want to go cold turkey for at least another 365 days.
14 Carrots Pass the batons!
13 Cranberry Sauce Turkey without it is like Alexander Armstrong without Richard Osman: Pointless.
12 Yule log Let the good times roll.
11 Gravy It's all gravy baby.
10 Brussels sprouts 'Goodness gracious great balls of fire!'
9 Christmas Pudding Are you #teamcustard or #teamcream?
8 Bubble & Squeak You won't hear a squeak out of anyone when Boxing Day lunch arrives.
7 Mince pies No need to mince words here, they are bloomin' delicious.
6 Roast ham Everyone loves a bit of W-ham at Christmas!
5 Trifle Is this the way to amaretto? The titan of Christmas puddings.
4 Stuffing December 25 summed up in one word.
3 Parsnips Perfect with a sprinkling of Parmesan.
2 Roast Potatoes Fat chance of sharing these.
1 Pigs in Blankets Tuck in!
