1. The two groups interviewed for the 2006 survey were 'Young British People' (aged 18-30), and 'Middle Aged British People' (aged 31-55). They were asked whether they liked Chinese food, what their favourite dishes were, and about the frequency of their visits to Chinese restaurants.
2. The second favourite dish of young people surveyed in 2006 was Peking Duck.
3. 60% of the 'Middle Aged British People' (aged 31-55) surveyed had visited a Chinese restaurant in the previous three months, and their favourite dishes were Sweet and Sour Chicken, and Black Peppered Beef.
4. The food critic predicted that there would be a greater variety of dishes from different Chinese provinces appearing on menus in the UK.
5. The increased popularity of Chinese cuisine in the UK has resulted in a doubling of the trade of Chinese style supermarkets in Britain in the last five years, and the introduction of Chinese ingredients (such as mooli, Chinese cabbage and soy sauce) onto the shelves of traditional style British supermarkets.
