But it's bad news for bland British favourites, as 54 per cent say Indian flavours have influenced the way they eat. In fact, the UK's love for Indian flavours runs so deep, one in 10 (nine per cent) reckon they eat more Indian-inspired foods than traditional British snacks and dishes, with 16 per cent eating a balance between the two. A spokesperson from Peperami, which commissioned the research, has released a chicken tikka skewers range, said: 'Britain is head over heels for Indian flavours. 'With a quarter of us tucking into spicy snacks and dishes over 100 times a year, it's clear we're a nation that craves more excitement on our plates. 'Plain, boring foods that taste like cardboard just don't cut it any more. 'Brits want big, punchy flavours, and the poll has shown they're bored stiff when it comes to the British options; it's time for something with a real bite." The research also revealed 69 per cent like to be experimental and try new Indian-inspired dishes or flavours - while 29 per cent went as far as to say they'd eat such foods every day if they could. On the spice scale, 63 per cent like it spicy, with 13 per cent keen on foods that are extra hot, and 18 per cent confident they could take on a Vindaloo. It also emerged 32 per cent are bored of their current go-to options, according to the data. Chef shares his Chicken Keema Karahi recipe When considering British snacks, 38 per cent believe they should include healthier ingredients, and 29 per cent would like to see more variety. Bigger flavour (21 per cent) and more spice (18 per cent) would also be welcomed, with 35 per cent believing most savoury snacks in shops today are 'boring' and 31 per cent seeing them as predictable. Cheese and onion and salt and vinegar were the flavours considered most overused or uninspired. Peperami's skewers were launched at The Glades shopping centre in Bromley, where shoppers were tasked with put their hand into a mystery box to pull out prizes from merchandise to a year's supply of the chicken tikka snack. A spokesperson from the brand added: 'British snacks can be boring – the research findings show us as much. 'And people nowadays are looking for varied flavours and something more exciting. 'A pork pie, scotch egg, or crisps from a supermarket are no longer going to cut it when people want a flavour hit.' More broadly, when it comes to snacking, five snacks are consumed between meals in a typical week, according to all respondents. And 40 per cent admit they have the same snacks on a regular basis, occasionally throwing a new one into the mix every so often.

Brits bored of 'bland' snacks are turning to Indian-inspired foods instead
New research indicates that Brits are becoming weary of the same old snack choices, with a desire for more diversity. A significant four in ten admit to regularly snacking on the same items, occasionally adding a new one to the mix. However, traditional flavours such as cheese and onion and salt and vinegar are now viewed as overdone or uninspired. Brits are yearning for bolder flavours and more spice, with a third deeming most savoury snacks available in shops today as 'boring' and 'predictable'. Consequently, Brits are turning to Indian-inspired foods and snacks to inject some spice into their snacking routines. One in 10 Brits believe they consume more Indian-inspired foods than traditional British snacks and dishes. Indeed, half say Indian flavours have influenced their eating habits. The study reveals that a quarter of Brits are enjoying Indian-inspired foods and snacks for over 100 days a year. The survey of 2,000 participants showed that an average of 32 curries are cooked up each year, with onion bhajis and samosas being the favourite Indian snacks. At least 24 takeaways are ordered annually by Indian food enthusiasts – with tikka masala, korma, and biryani being the top main meals, equating to a takeaway every other week. Peperami has heated up the snack market with its new chicken tikka skewers, aiming to satisfy Britain's appetite for intense flavours. A brand spokesperson said: "Britain is head over heels for Indian flavours. Plain, boring foods that taste like cardboard just don't cut it any more. "Brits want big, punchy flavours, and the poll has shown they're bored stiff when it comes to the British options; it's time for something with a real bite." Seven in ten of Brits are eager to explore adventurous Indian-inspired food, with nearly one-third admitting they would indulge in the cuisine daily if possible. When it comes to heat, 63 per cent of those surveyed enjoy spicy dishes, while 13 per cent prefer their meals extra hot, and a brave 18 per cent claim can handle a Vindaloo. At The Glades shopping centre in Bromley, Peperami went all out to promote their latest product, encouraging shoppers to reach into a mystery box for a chance to win prizes ranging from branded merchandise to a year-long supply of the chicken tikka skewers. The spokesperson added emphasis on variety in snacks, noting that traditional British nibbles no longer suffice for modern tastes: 'British snacks can be boring – the research findings show us as much. And people nowadays are looking for varied flavours and something more exciting. 'A pork pie, scotch egg, or crisps from a supermarket are no longer going to cut it when people want a flavour hit.'
