Jimmy Doherty on Britain’s fry up revolution

Sunday has officially been crowned the nation’s favourite day for a fry-up, but new research reveals the humble dish is becoming more diverse and experimental than ever before.

New research by EDF, reveals two in five (40%) Brits agree that cooking a fry-up is a Sunday morning staple in their home. The classic fry-up is changing though, as almost half say the ingredients they use have evolved.

Built for slowing down, 60% of respondents agreed they spend longer eating breakfast on a Sunday than a typical weekday. Three in five (61%) admit they’re more indulgent with what they eat on a Sunday, with certain dishes like the fry-up (52%), pancakes (32%) and pastries (26%) feeling more ‘allowed’. For more than a third of Brits (36%), Sunday roasts and fry-ups are even eaten on the same day.
