Who doesn’t love a brew in the morning?

In a nation known for its tea drinking, it may come as little surprise that a breakfast brew is the food or drink most missed by Brits on holiday.

A new survey by NFU Mutual found Brits are most fond of traditional dishes, with the most-missed foods including a Sunday roast with gravy (32%), fish and chips (29%) and a full English breakfast (23%).

When it comes to the perfect roast or cuppa, it seems Yorkshire puddings and British milk are key, with both ranking fourth and fifth respectively with 27% and 26%.

But what makes a product ‘most British’ according to interviewees? If the ingredients are grown in Britain (49%), the product is made in Britain (33%), or they have grown up with it (12%).

Darren Seward from NFU Mutual says, “Our survey proves that humble British classics like a Sunday roast are still among our best-loved dishes, and that people love to support British food”.

These are the foods and drinks we miss most while on holiday:

  1. English breakfast tea 45%
  2. Sunday roast with gravy 32%
  3. Fish and chips 29%
  4. Yorkshire puddings 27%
  5. Milk 26%
  6. Full English breakfast 23%
  7. Scones, jam and cream 22%
  8. Cadbury’s chocolate 21%
  9. British bread 18%
  10. ‘Proper’ chips 17%
  11. Real ale 16%
  12. Heinz tomato ketchup 13%
  13. Bangers and mash 12%
  14. Cake 9%
  15. Marmite 9%
  16. Scotch eggs and pork pies 9%
