Fish’n’chips? No, we crave chocs or pizza

-

FISH and chips isn’t the nation’s most-craved food – we’d rather have chocolate, cheddar and pizza, say researcher­s.

A team from Cardiff University questioned 2,150 Britons on their food cravings and found fish and chips came fourth, just ahead of spaghetti bolognese.

McDonald’s and KFC also featured in the top ten.

Least craved in a list of 520 foods were chicory, marrow and samphire. The highest ranked healthy option was oranges, at 13th.

The researcher­s, whose findings are published in the Royal Society Open Science journal, say participan­ts who were hungry when questioned were more likely to rank junk food higher and healthy food lower.
