When it comes to our favourites salads, we’re a nation of carnivores says


 9 July 2012

When it comes to our favourite salads, we’re a nation of carnivores
according to a recent survey published today.

The survey of the UK’s favourite salads by kitchen tool specialist OXO
revealed that chicken salad was by far the most popular with over a third of
us, proving we’re a nation of carnivores at heart.

Following behind in second and third place was caesar salad and tuna nicoise
respectively, but sadly meat-free options such as waldorf, pasta and bean
lagged greatly behind, disappointing our tastebuds.

And as for our favourite salad dressing, well it has to be honey and mustard
according to the study, with caesar in close second. Honey and mustard was
voted the number one choice in England, but in Northern Ireland balsamic
came out on top. More adventurous dressings such as ranch and green goddess,
the trendy dressings of choice with celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver,
were shirked by the public in favour of the classics.

The survey also revealed that 6 in 10 of us saw ourselves eating more salad
this summer, with more men converting to salad as a popular lunch or dinner
choice, pointing to the fact that the call for healthier living has
resonated with the public and an increasing number of men are watching their
waistbands in the run up to the holiday season.

OXO’S UK Marketing Manager, said: “With our tastes becoming more ever more
cosmopolitan in the UK, we thought that the European classics such as Greek
and Italian salads would be the firm favourite, especially with the rise of
celebrity chefs giving these salads a complete overhaul with more
adventurous, seasonal ingredients.

“We were all really surprised to see that meat-free options were not in
favour but perhaps the fact that more men are turning to salad is swinging
the popularity. They do like their meat after all.”

For all salad lovers out there, OXO offers a range of kitchen tools to help
make the preparation much quicker and easier including its salad spinner
(GBP25.55), which can be operated with just one hand, and its new zesty
green salad dressing shaker (GBP11.99) that will liven up your salads and
have you looking like Tom Cruise in Cocktail in next to no time.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
