The study of 2,000 adults revealed the nation’s favourite and least favoured barbecue foods with 45% preferring traditional dishes compared to 19% who prefer alternatives.
Cheese makes up a huge portion of the ‘good’ tier including halloumi and burger cheese, alongside corn on the cob and onions. Whereas foods such as cauliflower ‘steak’, cous-cous and chorizo appear lowest on the nation’s wish lists.
The likes of avocado (31%), sweet potato (28%) and brioche bread (13%) are considered ‘elevated’ barbecue foods. Over half (57%) believe traditional grill dishes have stood the test of time, with 47% claiming hot dogs and burgers are ‘unbeatable’.
A spokesperson for St Pierre commented: “The ‘God tier’ ratings are definitely a conversation starter and everyone will have their own opinion on the best and worst barbecue foods. It’s clear the classics have stood the test of time, despite barbecues evolving in recent years to suit dietary requirements and ‘Instagramable’ dishes.
“It’s also clear that Brits are not enticed by a fruity dessert on the barbie such as bananas or pineapple but will be after a variety of bread options for burgers and hot dogs to feed the crowds.”
