Whether it’s a cheeky burger or a healthy Poké Bowl, Brits love their takeaways.
Now Deliveroo has lifted the lid on our ordering habits.
The online delivery company has revealed the top 30 trending dishes on its UK platform this year.
The list includes some fairly predictable dishes, including pizza, chicken wings and cheeseburgers.
However, there are also some rather unexpected items, including a whole cucumber, protein bars and unpasteurised kimchi.
“Customers are seizing every opportunity to discover new dishes and cuisines and get involved in the latest food trends,” Deliveroo said.
“From chocolate bars to chicken wings and super salads, this year’s list features a mix of global takeaway favourites, trendy dishes and grocery essentials.
“While familiar dishes and cuisines return, the 2024 list welcomes a host of newcomers, including white wine, coffee, desserts, burritos and a variety of sandwiches.”
In Britain, the British love wings seem to be in the lead, with eight-piece Boneless from Wingstop in London taking first place
