Are Takeaways What People
Cambridge residents will spend a heart-stopping £25,115.97 on takeaways over their lifetime, according to shock new research.
Despite having a reputation for being scholarly and intelligent, people living in the University city will consume 33 takeaways every year, with an average spend of £12.58 each time.
But 28 per cent of residents in the high-brow city admit the only reason they opt for takeaways so regularly is because they can't be bothered to spend hours cooking.
And 42 per cent reckon the taste of a takeaway far outweighs anything they could prepare at home.
But a third of folk are always disappointed after ordering takeaway, and 37 per cent feel guilty about eating takeaways every 11 DAYS.
A spokesperson for Aldi, who conducted the poll of 2,000 people, said: "It is a real shame that Brits are opting for takeaways as a quick alternative to a home-cooked evening meal, as there are plenty of other ways to get a tasty filling meal without calling the local Chinese."
People living in Aberdeen are also guilty of resorting to takeaways as a 'quick fix meal', eating 32 a year, or 1,936 over a period of 60.5 years.
In the process they will spend a whopping £31,092.16, as each trip to the fast food joint costs them £16.06.
One in 10 people in the Scottish city admit they often pick up takeaway as they lead such a hectic lifestyle they don't have time to cook or shop for ingredients.
Meanwhile, folk living in Bristol are also partial to a regular takeaway - opting for an Indian treat at least 30 times a year.
This means they consume 1,815 during their lifetime, spending £26,281.20 in the process.
The poll also revealed that when Brits do cook an evening meal from scratch, it takes them at least half an hour; too long for people desperate to save time.
A spokesperson for Aldi continued: "The survey shows that Brits are spending huge amounts of money on takeaways, but remain completely unsatisfied once the meal is finished.
"Choosing a frozen meal such as Aldi's 'cook it. taste it. love it Two Lamb Shanks in a Tomato and Red Wine Sauce' can be a far more satisfying option for people in a hurry, they only take a few minutes to cook and are often as nutritious as a home-cooked meal cooked from scratch.
"People need to spend more time thinking about the foods they are eating - there ARE tasty, convenience meals out there to suit hectic lifestyles which don't require customer to compromise on quality."
Glaswegians are also fond of Indian takeaways, buying 29 a year - that's more than one a fortnight.
And Liverpudlians also appear in the top five on the fast food map, for eating approximately 27 Chinese meals a year.
One in three people find it easier and quicker to pick up a takeaway on the way home from work, and only one in five considered a frozen meal to be a good alternative to a home cooked meal.
