As you can imagine, delivery service Uber Eats has been busy the past couple of months, connecting restaurants and at-home diners during lockdown. For the second year in a row, the app has released its Cravings Report, which compiles loads of data that paint a picture of how people around the world have been eating for the past 12 months.
One section of the report focuses on the most unexpected food combinations that Uber Eats users in the United States indulge in—from poke bowls and corn to white rice and applesauce. (Hey, weird times call for weird cravings!) The No. 1 most unusual request is perhaps the most concerning: pizza with a side of ketchup. Logistically, we're still trying to wrap our heads around that one. But most random of all is chicken hibachi and matzoh balls, which is so wild that it actually works. Take a look at the full list below:
1. Pizza and ketchup
2. Fish and American cheese
3. Chicken and strawberries
4. Poke bowl and corn
5. Rice and white sauce
6. Burger and chickpeas
7. Green olives and honey mustard
8. White rice and applesauce
9. Edamame and hummus
10. Chicken hibachi and matzoh balls
During quarantine, Uber Eats reports that it saw an uptick in requests for "extra sauce," "sauce on the side," "no onion" and "no cucumber." There's also an entire list of the most popular delivery requests by state (turns out that Californians are not big on pico de gallo and Wisconsin residents love a little extra queso). Take a look at the full report and take comfort in the fact that your craziest cravings are in good company.
