Top 20 meals which remind us of our childhood
The humble roast dinner has topped the poll as Britain’s most nostalgic meal, a study has revealed. More than half of 2,000 people polled said a roast with all the trimmings was most likely to evoke memories of the taste and sounds of a Sunday lunch, surrounded by their family as a youngster.
Runner up was Shepherd’s Pie, with rice pudding, egg and chips and bangers and mash closely following. Angel Delight came sixth, while beef stew and dumplings filled seventh.
Toad-in-the-hole came in at eighth while cheese on toast and beans on toast completed the top ten.
Researchers also found that 44% said a meal was most likely to remind them of their childhood simply because it was their favourite dish growing up.
Another 32% said it was because it was their mum’s specialty meal to cook for them, while almost one in ten said they used to help their mum or dad make it.
Jackie Wilson, spokesperson for Cathedral City, which commissioned the research, said:
"It’s great to see good old traditional meals like steak and kidney pie, macaroni cheese and beef stew and dumplings amongst the nation’s favourite home-cooked meals."
“Cathedral City has long been a favourite for families and has a mature and mellow taste which is ideal for making tasty home-made dishes.”
