FOOD-lovers are getting in a stew over whether to cook their carrots or throw away eggs.
A survey has revealed the most popular myths the nation still believes when it comes to their dinner.
Top was the old wives' tale that floating eggs are no longer safe to eat, with
30% believing it to be true. It was followed by 22% who think rice can't be reheated. Another 21% believe veg is better raw.
One in six of us thought bread kept in the fridge lasts longer. More than 13% feel that eating celery burns more calories than you gain by eating it and
11% believe eating chicken soup cures a cold.
The study, by electrical retailer Ao.com with Hotpoint, also showed only
25% of Brits cook with fresh ingredients every day.
