Sausage rolls in tea - yay or nay?

Goodbye biscuits and hello sausage rolls.

That's right, around one in 10 people are reaching for the meaty, flaky, buttery goodness of a sausage roll to dip into their cuppas rather than the classic combo!

The majority of the 2,000 people asked (59%) said they sill reached for their favourite biscuit to dunk, but some people admitted to dunking sandwiches, chocolate bars and crisps into their hot drink too.

And that's not the only weird food combo that's got us talking...

Recent research has found the best biscuit for dunking is a Jaffa Cake which can withstand over 100 dips into a hot cuppa!

It sparked debate about whether the Jaffa Cake should have even been included, as many believe it is classed as a cake rather than a biscuit.

And then, we have the infamous beans on Weetabix...

What do baked beans go with? Toast, waffles, jacket potato, chips, well what about Weetabix?

Yes you read correctly... Picture the scene, it's breakfast time, you've got Weetabix - milk is usually what follows next - so imagine the cereal biscuits slathered in baked beans instead.

Weetabix has caused outrage on social media for suggesting their brand of breakfast cereal goes perfectly well with beans, sharing pictures of the unusual combo on twitter.

The tweet has been shared and liked thousands of times. The caption read: "Why should bread have all the fun, when there's Weetabix?

To which the British embassy responded with: "Strong opinion from the nation that makes [a cup of] tea in a microwave."

Sainsbury's said: "Beans have no authority here, no authority AT ALL."

Nando's added to the debate when they asked: "You okay hun? DM's are open if you need to talk".

The NHS UK replied to Weetabix saying: "That tweet should come with a health warning."
