According to meal kit provider, HelloFresh, the popular picnic food has taken the crown for Britain's top hated food, and is followed closely by gherkins and seafood .

The new research also revealed that Brussels sprouts are no longer in the top three.

Andre Dupin, Head Chef at HelloFresh UK, said: ''Dinner time should be an opportunity to expand food horizons, however our study shows half of adults completely disregard foods they don't like and won't give them a second chance.

''Often, people dislike the way something is cooked and will enjoy the same ingredient served in a different way. For example people might enjoy roasted vegetables but dislike boiled vegetables.''
