Fun Facts

  1. In fact, the average Christmas dinner takes 295 days to make before it reaches our plate according to research by Morrisons, as it needs 10 months to sow and grow before it’s ready for the festive feast.
  2. The study found that a third of women never manage to cook the festive meal without a drama, with one in ten admitting that they mess up the gravy every year and 9% even forget to defrost the turkey.
  3. With the average Christmas dinner racking up 956 calories and containing 48g of fat, it’s little wonder that we see the festive pounds pack on and suffer from festive fatigue shortly after the day of indulgence.
  4. The gene, carried by 70% of us, make the brain detect sharp, bitter flavours and that’s what makes us shun the green veg when eating our Christmas dinner.
  5. Forget all the turkey trimmings – if you’re feeling the pinch this Christmas, you can feed your friends and family on Christmas Day for under a fiver. Well, £2 to be exact.
