Quarter of Brits eat Indian-inspired foods or snacks more than 100 days a year

SWNS

A quarter of Brits are eating Indian-inspired foods and snacks more than 100 days a year, according to research.  A poll of 2,000 respondents revealed 32 curries are cooked up annually, and the most frequent Indian snacks to be chomped are onion bhajis and samosas.  At least 24 takeaways are ordered annually by 30 per cent of Indian-lovers – with tikka masala, korma, and biryani being the most favoured main meals, practically a takeaway every other week.  A spokesperson from Peperami, which commissioned the research, has released a chicken tikka skewers range, said: “Britain is head over heels for Indian flavours.  “Plain, boring foods that taste like cardboard just don’t cut it any more.”
