MORE than half of Brits eat the same meals every week, with roast dinners, pizzas, and spaghetti Bolognese most frequently rustled up. A poll of 2,000 adults revealed 44 per cent are ‘bored’ of the mealtime merry-go-round but lack inspiration for new dishes to cook.

Four in 10 (43 per cent) would be more likely to try new recipes if they were easy to make, while 29 per cent would be driven by their desire to mix up the same old routine. While 53 per cent describe themselves as carnivores, just seven per cent are vegetarian and only two per cent are vegan.

That said, 63 per cent said they are open to a ‘flexitarian diet’ where vegan and free-from alternatives are occasionally used instead of meat and dairy. Other frequently devoured meals on a weekly basis included chicken curry, fish and chips, as well as shepherd’s or cottage pie.

The research was commissioned by NOMO, which has teamed up with Sunday Brunch chef Simon Rimmer to mark its fourth year of Flexi-Feb. It encourages the nation to inject variety into their meal repertoires by introducing substitutes from the free-from aisle or adding whole foods, like lentils, which help to reduce meat and dairy intake.
Tara Stevens, from the vegan and free-from chocolate brand, said: “The vast majority of those polled regularly eat meat and dairy – but it doesn’t mean you can’t mix up a few meals a week to become more flexi. "We’re all about inspiring people to try free-from alternatives or introduce whole foods into the meals they prepare.
