Brussels sprouts, ginger, endive, cinnamon, spinach… Some flavors are the subject of much debate. But what do you think is the least favorite food of the French?
A matter of taste. Even though everyone’s experience of flavors cannot be discussed, there are nevertheless foods that are (almost) unanimous. This is particularly the case for chocolate, fries, duck, pasta or even pizzas. Conversely, csome foodstuffs are very little appreciated by the French. The reasons ? Singular flavors, unusual textures, dubious origins or even unappetizing shapes. Yet, despite the many foods overlooked by consumers, some are even more hated than others. This is why the food delivery company Deliveroo looked into the matter and conducted a survey of its customers to find out their consumption habits. The goal? Establish a ranking of the most hated foods.
And the least we can say is that the French are not not big fans of greenery. Indeed, Deliveroo has identified no less than four vegetables in the top 10 least popular foods, including one that rose to first place. And it’s about… chicory! Yes, the bitter taste of this vegetable is not appreciated at all by many consumers. But it is not the only food set aside by Deliveroo customers. The latter completed the podium by placing ginger and dried fruits in second and third place less popular foods.
Surprises in the ranking
If the first three places surprised more than one, it is the same for the rest of the classification. Indeed, spinach, sworn enemies of children, are not in the top 10. On the other hand, we can observe foods such as sardines (4th), Brussels sprouts (5th), coriander (6th) or even onions (7th). Finally, the last three most hated foods are none other than licorice, peppers and oysters.
