title: Food preferences of some United Kingdom residents.
abstract: A food preference questionnaire was completed by 1304 people. There were considerable differences in food preferences related to age, sex, and area of residence of the respondents. In spite of these differences, five distinct clusters of foods showing similar preference patterns were indentified. These clusters were of sweet fruits, meats, vegetables, alcoholic beverages, and some high carbohydrate foods. The cause of the clustering was uncertain.
