As the year comes to a close, food-delivery service Deliveroo has taken a moment to reflect on the past 12 months by celebrating the most popular dishes around the world, as chosen by its customers.
According to Deliveroo data, this year, consumers have become more experimental than ever before.
The most-ordered dish in the world on Deliveroo in 2017 is Lille-based restaurant Big Fernand’s Les Fernandines cheeseburger, with London burger chain Five Guys’ cheeseburger coming in at number three, and GBK’s six-ounce cheeseburger being voted the tenth most popular dish.
Burritos have also been particularly popular this year, with Boojum in Dublin coming in at number two and Dubai’s Taqado Mexican Kitchen being voted number five.
Aside from burgers and burritos, 2017 has also seen a rise in the popularity of Hawaiian cuisine, with poke (a raw-fish salad) a particularly popular choice among consumers. Meanwhile, dishes incorporating insects, such as cricket and tomato salad and buffalo-worm caramel desserts, also proved to be surprisingly popular.
Additionally, Deliveroo recorded a rise in the demand for hybrid dishes, as chefs engaged in more experimentation with food. Examples include Creme Egg pizzas, chicken cone waffles, and a pulled-pork, chocolate, chilli, avocado and pickle sandwich.
