Younger Britons are less likely to pick fish and chips as their favourite takeaway, with just one in 14 under-25s doing so, a poll has revealed.
While the quintessentially-English food is still a staple for pensioners, according to YouGov's new poll for Times Radio about Britain's favourite takeaways, it is not so popular with the younger generation.
Youngsters aged 18-24 went for Chinese and pizza as their favourites, with only 7 per cent picking fish and chips.
But, surveying people who were slightly older, fish and chips was more favoured.
Ten per cent of people aged 25-49 plumped for it as their takeaway of choice and 22 per cent of those aged 50-64.
And the traditional dish was the clear winner for over-65s, with 36 per cent loving the cuisine the most.

Despite fish and chips remaining a firm choice of the older generation, surges in costs could mean that trips to the chippie could be under threat.
Increases are partly due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine hiking up prices of potatoes and white fish.
