Third choice is margherita pizza (22 per cent), followed by sticky toffee pudding (21) and garlic bread (20).

Also in the top ten are cheese and ham toasties, spag bol (both 19 per cent), chocolate pancakes, beef stew and dumplings, and chicken and mushroom pies (all 18).

The findings reveal that half of Britons (55 per cent) get more pleasure from hearty winter food than summer dishes.

More than three quarters (77 per cent) of Britons said they would choose to eat winter food for the rest of their lives.

When it comes to regional tastes, southerners are more likely to opt for a sweet treat – the South West and South East opted for apple crumble as their ultimate pick.

Those in the North East and Yorkshire prioritise Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding more than the rest of the country.

Nicolas Bresch, from Club Med which quizzed 2,000 people and gave them multiple choices, said: “Certain foods can evoke all sorts of feelings and there’s nothing Britons love more than a hearty, feelgood dish.”
