The traditional British dinner plate is in danger of dying out, as a quarter of Brits claim they now eat most or all of their meals from a bowl, with 1 in 10 never eating from a plate. New research from Sainsbury’s has revealed that over half of Brits (57%) will be turning to heart-warming bowl foods as the darker autumnal evenings set in and the nation continues to navigate the stresses of everyday life.
Two fifths find bowls easier to eat from while watching TV on the sofa. One in five people say food just tastes better in a bowl, 26% of Brits will opt for a bowl if they are feeling down or stressed, or if they’ve had a bad day.
British classics are also moving off the plate, as 4.7 million Brits admit to having eaten fish and chips and a roast dinner from one. Surprisingly, 1 in 20 have also enjoyed eating kebabs, pizzas and burgers from a bowl.
