Adventure holiday travel company The Bucket List Company have done some research to find the top 10 most popular cuisines from around the world by looking at average monthly searches, rankings from Ranker.com social media engagement, sentiment & views and combining these stats.
They found the top 10 most popular cuisines around the world - and Korean food came out on top. It was followed by Italian, Mexican, Japanese, Indian and other cuisines.
