Tuck in to chill out
BANGERS and mash is the most popular comfort food during the credit crunch, a survey has revealed.
The traditional British dish got 16 per cent of the vote, beating fish and chips into second with 15 per cent, and beans on toast into third with 10 per cent.
The survey, which involved quizzing more than 3,000 British adults about their current eating habits compared with last year, found food that made people happy and reminded them of their childhood was particularly popular.
It also found that people were eating more because of the downturn – 77 per cent said they had upped their food intake since the recession started.
