Every day we pull some stats from a survey and say have a chat about the findings. Today: Food for thought on our eating and cooking habits.

Almost half of Britons still eat a meal together as a household every day.

But two-thirds of them are watching at least one screen and a fifth are in front of two or more screens.

Just over half of people can confidently cook 10 or more dishes from scratch but a full 10 per cent of the population cannot cook a thing - including 16 per cent of men.

Some 15 per cent are now eating less meat than a year ago in an effort to spend less money on food.

Nearly two-thirds (65 per cent) say they only sometimes, rarely or never visit their local high street food shops, with 40 per cent of them citing cost.

The microwave is the kitchen item most Britons cannot live without (56 per cent), beating kitchen knives (51 per cent) and a toaster (47 per cent).

Roast dinner is the most popular dish, with 50 per cent cooking it at least once a month, followed by spaghetti Bolognese (49 per cent) and curry (43 per cent).

Chinese is Britain's favourite takeaway, just ahead of fish and chips.
