A tasty Bacon Butty is our greatest national treasure

Posted on 6.2.2012

Well its official according to a recent survey featured in the Daily Express a tasty bacon butty is Britains most favoured national treasure.  And a traditional roast dinner came in second, wonder if roast pork with crackling came out top!

“FORGET rolling green hills and a rich heritage – the humble bacon butty is what makes Britain great.

Hot bacon in a sandwich with lots of ketchup and butter is what Britons love most about the nation.

The snack topped a poll of the 50 greatest national treasures, with a traditional roast dinner in second place and a nice cup of tea third.

In the survey of 60,000 Britons, our proud national history was the fourth most popular followed by the BBC, then Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.”
