New research commissioned by KFC found that 48% of Britons support officially naming a national dish. Fish and chips, Sunday roast and the full English breakfast were the leading traditional choices, while chicken tikka masala was viewed by 26% as a modern British classic. The findings also indicated growing acceptance of international cuisines, fusion food and modern twists on familiar dishes. KFC is using the debate to promote its limited-time Crispy Naan, featuring fried chicken in naan bread, and has invited the public to vote on Britain’s national dish.
