YouGov has polled the public on 50 classic British dishes, ranking sweet and savoury mainstays on a scale from ‘god tier’ to ‘crap tier’. Very professional.
The results are unsurprising, if unlikely to please non-English foodies: Yorkshire puds and Victoria sponge rank highly, while kippers, laverbread and deep-fried Mars bars do not. Unlucky, Scotland and Wales!
What’s perhaps most instructive, though, is the colour palette of the foods spread across YouGov’s graphic – a sea of beige brightened only by the odd green bean in a Sunday roast, or a lonely strawberry in an Eton mess. No wonder the UK’s health is firmly ‘crap tier’.
