Tesco has unveiled the nation’s pancake preferences ahead of Shrove Tuesday. The supermarket giant says the average UK adult will tuck into four and over half will have at least one.
When it comes to the savoury versus sweet debate, it says we’re a sweet-toothed nation, with 87% of people it surveyed citing sweet varieties as their favourite. Yet many less traditional savoury toppings and fillings remain popular, including chicken (15%), vegetables (12%), steak (9%), salsa and guacamole (9%) and even curry (6%).
Jamie Robinson, Tesco Executive Chef, suggests trying a cannelloni – or crêpe style – pancake for something different. He said: "Pretty much anything works, but one of my go-to recipes is grilled chicken, mozzarella, and sun-blushed tomato pesto all rolled in a crêpe, topped with more mozzarella and baked until golden brown."
