Baked cheese such as camembert or a fondue topped the leaderboard, with 50 per cent of respondents saying it was among their favourite of all picky bits."
"Old-school favourites such as potato salad, pate and mini quiches were also a favourite, while more modern options such as chorizo and 'posh crisps' made an appearance. Further down the rankings - but still important for some - was meatballs, vol-au-vents and even mini gherkins. Data from Asda show that sales of platters and olives are up 55 per cent year-on-year, while sales of cheese bakes have risen by nearly 10 per cent."
