Survey in 142 places around world reveals in which countries people take greatest pleasure in eating – and least
More empanadas, less cassava please. The people of Puerto Rico, Greece and Norway enjoy their food more than diners in any other countries, according to a new global study that reveals a link between the pleasure people take in food and their overall wellbeing.
Those historical bastions of good eating, France and Italy, are perhaps predictably higher up the table than Britain, but those nations’ cooks might feel aggrieved to be behind places like Denmark, Nepal and Mongolia. On the upside, 88% of people in the UK said they thought their food was mostly healthy and 86% said they had lots of choice.By contrast, people in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone, where staples include cassava and rice, were the least happy with their daily meals.
“It’s just simple and delicious,” said Juan Carrion, a London-based Puerto Rican, who said national dishes including empanadas were “seasoned for flavour”.
