The map has been drawn up by insurance website MoneyBeach.co.uk, which used the Google data to establish the average monthly search volume in each country for terms associated with ordering a takeaway.

It says that the most-searched-for takeaway choice was then used as the top takeout cuisine for the country.

Regarding top-ranked pizza, it says: 'Pizza, a beloved comfort food and choice that offers something for everyone, with meat feasts and pineapple toppings to multiple vegan options, proved a clear favourite for everywhere from France to Barbados, and of course the home of pizza, Italy.'

In fourth place is fish and chips, top in six countries, including Canada, while fifth is fried chicken, with Cambodia among the five countries where it is most-searched-for.

Shame on Pakistanis ordering Indian food in Pakistan.

They should boycott Indian food atleast during the war.

I suspect Pizza is a winner in the UK too. The thing is a lot of the pizza is the UK is supplied by Pakistani owned takeaways that also supply burgers, kebabs, curry etc. So they won't show up in searches as ordering Pizza, whereas most Chinese takeaways serve exclusively Chinese food. Mind you - Chinese food is VERY popular in the UK. Nearly every town/large village has a Chinese takeaway.

The world would eat Chinese in a minute. But unfortunately cannibalism is banned.

Nobody orders "Indian" foods in UK.

All Pakistanis (and most non-Indian people in general) actually order Bangladeshi and Pakistani food. It's erroneously categorised as "Indian" in these surveys.

Also, I'm intrigued that Chinese food is the most popular in UK....I assumed it would be either biryani or fish and chips!
