Looking across the genders, men show a penchant for hearty, high-cholesterol classics such as steak and chips, a KFC bucket of chicken and a ‘Full English’ fry-up featuring in their top five. For women, a roast dinner with all the trimmings is the most popular choice followed by Chinese food and pizza.
The data reveals some interesting differences in the palettes of different generations. Whereas over-55s would be content with either a hearty roast dinner or steak and chips, young people aged between 16-24 admitted they crave pizza the most with ‘a Nando’s’ also featuring in their top ten.

The research has prompted debate about how well our friends and family know us and our final wishes such as what final meal we’d want before we die. A whopping 63 per cent of Brits admit they have no idea what their loved ones would want when they die and a further 65 per cent have never discussed their own wishes with those close to them.
