The tasty bacon butty is what we love most about Britain, a survey revealed today.

A humble bacon sandwich topped the poll of the 50 things we most adore about the nation, with a traditional roast dinner taking second place.

Nothing washes down a meal better than a lovely cup of tea - which came in at number three in the survey of 60,000 Brits.

Nation of food lovers: The bacon butty and roast dinner came in first and second place

Our proud national history came fourth followed by the BBC in fifth, Big Ben in sixth and Buckingham Palace in seventh.

The love for our rolling hills will never dwindle as the beautiful English countryside made eighth spot.

Food continued its domination in the remainder of the top ten, with fish and chips and the Yorkshire Pudding coming in at ninth and tenth respectively.

Incredibly, the poll revealed that cheese is a greater national treasure than our monarch, with cheddar coming in at 13th on the list while the Queen trailed behind in 15th.

it's all a conspiracy to pacify the restive UK middle classes...ain't got nothin' to do wid cuisine...even wid the snow an' rain outside and warm hearth, etc...a false security and a tissue of lies...get out on the tramp an' let the red banners fly...

Pure heart-attack, lovely

Does anyone have a sure-fire way of getting drool out of a keyboard

This has been bothering me now Boater so I have to put it to you...

The pic of the "bacon butty" you posted is all wrong. For a start I can't see any butter on it. Furthermore it has way too much bacon. In addition that's a bap if I'm not mistaken?

A bacon butty should be made with a roll.

These are important distinctions which shouldn't be missed in my opinion.

whaaa? you can't never have too much bacon on a bacon butty...now, the bap question is worthy of discussion...in the east midlands of England all sarnies are made with a nice, fresh floury bap...there was a navvy in a donkey jacket in a doorway next to the place near the bus stop in Derby where I bought me sarnies and he devoured his morning meal with 2 rolls and a pint of milk...and I wanted to indicate to him that rolls are inappropriate...but I'm just a yank, what do I know?...

then, there was me ex-wife in England and she couldn't begin her breakfast without thoroughly buttering her untoasted bread before hand and when I indicated to her that the grease from the fry up should be adequate she said: ' and ye know what ye can do with it, ye ignorant yank bastid...'...

she was my wife but she wasn't very friendly...

Too much bacon leaves you chewing for too long...the roll gets soggy and the bacon cold. Also the butter don't run down your chin.

Remember you can always have another bacon butty if yer still hungry!

Edit: Butty not Buttie. dear oh dear...
