A decade of food hits (and misses)
In Britain, the 1990s might be remembered for Britpop, boy bands and girl power, but the decade's most popular culinary delights caused quite a stir, too. From Pot Noodles and turkey dinosaurs to posh pesto and the Pret sandwich, it was a time of foodie highs (and a few memorable lows). Join us on a nostalgia-fuelled journey back in time as we reveal the foods that powered 1990s Britain. How many do you remember?
Click or scroll through our gallery to discover the foods that were all the rage in Britain in the 1990s – counting down to the most iconic of them all.
We've based our ranking on the enduring popularity of each food, and on the opinions of our well-travelled (and well-fed) team. This list is unavoidably subjective.
