Wanderlust for experiencing the world through food means that we regularly eat Mexican, Chinese, Italian and Indian dishes in an average week
Two thirds of Brits said they find worldly cuisine more flavoursome than traditional British dishes
The discovery of new tastes and flavours from around the world is a priority when it comes to Britain's taste buds
Food lovers are relishing the opportunity to take more culinary journeys without leaving the kitchen
Bhavika Thakrar at Santa Maria said: "The journey of more exotic tastes and flavours will continue around the world as modern technology continues to advance. This will allow globetrotting foodies to instantly tweet pictures of a street food taco shack in Mexico City or Instagram rows of intricately painted sugar skulls for Day of the Dead celebrations. This will allow us all to consume these foods 24/7 without even eating it for ourselves!"
Food fusions are huge on the gourmet scene and fusions of Italian/Japanese, Mexican/Korean and Brazilian/Asian have all been seen in recent months
More than half of the 2,000 polled by Santa Maria thought that British food can be a little dull, compared with the exotic foods discovered on far-flung holidays or when dining out
40% of those polled said foreign dishes like stir fry, curries and fajitas were actually easier to get right than traditionally British meals
Three quarters of those surveyed felt that in years to come we will all be eating more foreign cooking than food that could be originally considered British
Brits have become more daring in the kitchen, with 45% of people describing themselves as adventurous cooks
