What’s the survey for?

Before I started writing this book I wanted to get a better understanding of people’s relationship with food, so I drew up a list of simple questions and sent it to as many people as I could. I didn’t really expect anyone to fill it in, but the response was astounding: people loved being asked about food, and enthusiastically detailed all of their grubbiest eating habits. I had originally thought that although we are a lovely and huggable tribe, the British are pretty conservative eaters. Oh, how wrong I was. My task of creating a snapshot of the nation’s murkier eating habits is not yet complete, and these results have been compiled from the first 500 replies.
