While over half (59 per cent) have balked at being served undercooked turkey, and 59 per cent have witnessed a family member smother their lunch in Ketchup.

One in ten (11 per cent) believe serving mashed potatoes is wrong, while 14 per cent said using a packet bread sauce is a crime, when you can make it yourself.

Packets of frozen roast potatoes (19 per cent), mushy sprouts (35 per cent) and hot sauce (38 per cent) also made the list of items which should never grace the Christmas lunch plate, according to the survey by Thermapen.

Overall, the average Brit will consume three full festive lunches over the month of December.

The survey also revealed some of the bizarre things some Brits confess to adding to their Christmas lunch, with 14 per cent having added a side of mac and cheese and 18 per cent saying they have whipped up some potato croquettes to go on the side.

Mayonnaise (13 per cent), hash browns (11 per cent) pickled onions (7 per cent) a fried egg (7 per cent) and even curry sauce (5 per cent) emerged as some of the weird and wonderful additions.

When it comes to the big sprout debate, 52 per cent said they were a lover, while 26 profess to hating them and 22 per cent said they could take them or leave them.

The survey comes after it was revealed by researchers earlier this week that the price of a Christmas dinner has gone up three times quicker than pay.
