Health-conscious foodies push unexpected food near the top of Deliveroo’s trendiest orders
HEALTH-conscious foodies have pushed the cucumber near the top of Deliveroo’s trendiest orders of 2024, data shows.
The salad staple from Waitrose is fourth in the delivery company’s 100 fastest-growing orders this year.
Second and third were both Caesar salads from two London takeaways chains — Atis and The Salad Project.
But topping the list was eight boneless chicken wings from Wingstop — founded in Texas and now with 50 UK stores.
The same dish was also the second most popular order in Deliveroo’s worldwide list.
Pepperoni pizza from Frank’s Pizza stores in Glasgow took fifth place in the UK.
A new entry this year — in tenth position — was a white wine from Co-op, ordered mostly by Londoners.
It came just behind Sainsbury’s bananas.
Deliveroo’s data also shows residents of Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, ordered more champagne than anywhere else.
Brighton residents ordered more oat milk, while Cambridge shoppers ordered more condoms.
Deliveroo said: “We’ve spotted the highest number of grocery essentials making our 100 list — a 600 per cent increase since 2022.”
