The quickest way to someone's heart is through their stomach, and the handiest present to get someone is their favourite meal.
With this in mind, Deliveroo has revealed the most popular takeaway orders for mammies and daddies, pulled from their data from Mother's Day and Father's Day. So now there's no excuse for forgetting the present, or for plucking for just a pair of socks this Father's Day.
According to their data, dads are by and large traditionalists still when it comes to yummy treats, favouring more meat-based foods over salads and reserving a fondness for breakfast.
Typically choosing something fried over the more delicate acai bowls or falafel wraps on offer, the most popular dish ordered by dads on Father's Day is The Starvin Marvin from Farmer Browns, a lush assortment of smoked streaky bacon, pork and leek sausage, 'Inch House' black and white pudding, grilled tomato, poached eggs, batch toast and pesto.

As for the mammies, they tuck into healthier options, if only to leave room for sweet treats and desserts. Lighter options such as the Bacon, Avocado & Pomegranate & Poached Egg on Toast from Slice balance out decadent delights like the Nutella Cronut from Krust.
As for the most popular dish, it is the Bircher Bowl from Brother Hubbard, a moreish dish of overnight-soaked oats with spiced orange, apple and roasted squash puree, topped with sweet nut dukkah, slices of Granny Smith apple and torn mint.
