Recent research from England's national tourist board has shown that we've mostly missed foodie experiences during the latest lockdown.<\/p>

In a poll of 2,476 people by VisitEngland<\/a>, 51% of people said eating out at a restaurant was the travel experience they;d missed most of all during lockdown. This was followed by 37% who had missed visits to pubs and bars and coffee shops and cafes.\"\"

Foodie experiences are taking the top three spots for activities that we're hoping to enjoy this summer, apparently. Almost half of respondents were most looking forward to eating out at a restaurant, market or street food truck, jointly placed with the chance to have a drink in a pub garden.<\/p>

Tantalising our tastebuds also scored highly when thinking about the sensory experiences we're looking forward to as freedom to travel begins to open up. Fish and chips (51%); ice-cream (51%) and a cold drink in a pub (47%) were the top three tastes Brits were excited about experiencing this summer.\"\"

Food and drink dominated the other sensory highlights, with the smell of a BBQ (46%), the noise of an ice-cream van jingle (35%); the sound of chatter in a pub (44%) and the feeling of a cold drink in hand (45%), all scoring in the top three responses when asked about the sensory travel experiences Brits were most excited about.
