A new poll revealed that tomato sauce was the resounding winner with 50 per cent saying it is their condiment of choice.

Ketchup was closely followed by mayonnaise (43 per cent), BBQ sauce (36 per cent) and salad cream (26 per cent).

Almost half of those polled said they enjoy a condiment with every meal, with 12 per cent admitting they love having tomato sauce on a roast dinner.

The research was conducted by Perspectus Global, who whittled the sauces down into a definitive top 20.

Ellie Glason, from Perspectus Global, said: "With summer in full swing and many enjoying BBQs and summer roasts, we wanted to see which condiments the nation hold dearest to their hearts.

"The poll clearly proves that tomato ketchup remains the firm favourite. It also settles the great debate over what is better, mayo or salad cream."
