These past few months have seen people being confined to the walls of their homes due to the recent quarantine measures that have been put in place to curb the spread of the deadly coronavirus. As a result, a vast majority of the global population has turned to order food online, which is then delivered to their doorsteps. As a result, there has been a massive surge in demand for home deliveries by supermarkets and other commercial service providers.
During this period, there have been different kinds of food that have become more popular with the customers, some even clinching top spots in the online searches from information relayed by google. Phrases such as ‘delivery,’ ‘takeaway,’ ‘takeout,’ and ‘food delivery’ have become the most searched terms on google between March and May of this year. A survey was conducted to verify which foods were the most popular in the world. The data was collected in a Betway survey covering 81 countries from all over the globe.
Out of this pool of countries, about 55 countries ranked pizza as the topmost searched food on the internet. This is partly because pizza has always been preferred in most of the countries situated in Eastern Europe. Up in second place was Chinese food, a delicacy that has amassed many consumers from different parts of the world. Out of the 81 countries, 11 of them had Chinese cuisine as their topmost preferred dish with countries like the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, China, and the Republic of Ireland.
Third place was taken by Sushi a delicacy that originated from Japan. However, Japan had Sushi as their third most searched food in their internet rankings. Denmark was the country that had Sushi as its topmost preferred dish on the internet in terms of per capita. Raw, smoked, and pickled fish has always been the go-to dish for the Danish population ever since the Vikings era. It is easy to understand why this is so. Their immediate neighbors are Norway, which ranks in as the country that produces the most salmon in the world.
Therefore, there is enough supply of fish to the Danish people. McDonald’s has a strong foothold on the global food market, and as such, it has topped the charts as the most searched for food company bands from the Google Analysis data. In terms of sheer revenue, the fast-food giant is renowned for being the most prominent restaurant chain globally. 2018 saw the bugger-flipping company open up over 37,855 store outlets spread out across 100 different countries.
Out of the 81 states in question, 41 of them released data that showed that McDonald’s stood out as the most searched restaurant among all the other food takeaway chains across the globe. The majority of the search results were centralized in Europe. This was illustrated by the fact that 26 out of the 30 countries in Europe were very fond of the Big Mac. KFC came second place as the most popular fast-food restaurant chain clinching first place in 23 countries. These countries included South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
