Fried chicken and other US dishes win hands down over old-time British favourites like fish and chips or roast beef, says a poll to mark America’s Independence Day on July 4. More than six out of 10 UK adults said they preferred US delicacies to traditional British dishes.
“Fried chicken has come a long way from when it first arrived in this country, after the end of World War II,” said a spokesman for Slim Chickens.
One in five Brits tuck into Southern fried chicken every week and one in 10 every month, according to a survey of 1,500 UK adults. One in seven said it would be first choice for a Valentine’s Day treat, one in 10 would consider it for their wedding or funeral, and one in five chose fried chicken as their hypothetical ‘death row meal’.
