Chicken, pasta and cheese are the nation’s favourite foods, whilst traditional food hates such as liver and Brussels sprouts continue to make it onto the food hell top ten.

But while Marmite’s name is synonymous with being loved and hated in equal measures it’s now curry which has stolen the spread’s crown as the food we most love or hate.

In a survey of the nation’s views on food by BBC Good Food, curry was named fifth in a list of food heaven but fourth in a list of food hell.

Marmite meanwhile was 7th most hated but nowhere to be seen in most loved, 74th.
