This Has Officially Been Voted The Best Christmas Dinner Component

It's official! The best part of our Christmas dinners are the Pigs in Blankets.

According to a poll Tyla ran on Twitter, our favourite component of the traditional festive lunch is the meaty side dish of bacon-wrapped sausages, and it's a great choice tbh.

Yup, while we're busy stuffing our faces on turkey or roast potatoes, we're all really ogling the Pigs in Blankets.

Let's hope they're not left off our plates come Christmas Day!

With a whopping 49.4 per cent of the votes, the meaty treat came out on top, with Twitter users enthusing about the salty, delicious Christmas treat.

"Pigs in Blankets. My favourite thing about Christmas dinner," said one.

"The only thing I'm looking forward to on my Christmas dinner is Pigs in Blanket," said another.

A third lamented at the lack of Pigs in Blankets on her plate at a recent work do:

"It's been 9 hours and I am still raging I got ONE miniature pig in a blanket on my works Christmas dinner," she said.

Roast potatoes came in at number two on the poll, with 36.8 per cent of voters choosing the buttery-soft-but-crunchy-on-the-outside side dish. I mean potatoes go with everything, right?

With 10.3 per cent of votes, stuffing came in at third place.

The side dish, usually made from sage and onion, is a take-it-or-leave-it choice for food fans this year.

Meanwhile, perhaps not surprisingly, Brussel sprouts were voted the least favourite Christmas dinner component, taking last place with just 3.4 per cent of the votes. The divisive veggie isn't to everyone's taste.

In other festive food news, Aldi has divided shoppers with the release of its Brussel sprouts, stuffing, brie and cranberry sauce pizza.

The supermarket's latest festive offering also includes a fancy sourdough base and social media users have been very vocal about their views on the new pizza.

Foodies everywhere will also rejoice at news that Aldi has launched a two metre long Pig in Blanket.

The epic Christmas dish contains a whopping 850g of meat, made up of a huge British pork sausage wrapped in a bacon blanket.

It's the ultimate dinner party centrepiece to share over the holidays.
