There are an endless amount of cuisines to try in this world and while it’s not possible to visit every single country to try their food - it’s definitely possible to get the popular cuisines at your doorstep these days.
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.
Not only has Korean food become popular but so has South Korean dramas - with Netflix streaming dozens of the best series the country has to offer, and K-pop.
