The last few years have seen a rise in foodies and increasing interest in international cuisine. More and more Americans are becoming adventurous eaters and are seeking bold, spicy and unique flavors. Yet the most Googled recipes in 2018 and 2019 remained unchanged: tried and true Americanized meals such as meatloaf, pecan pie, lasagna and pork chops.
There’s a clear disconnect between the dishes we crave and the foods we make at home – which is probably why many Americans eat out almost five times a week. Plus, the convenience of food delivery services has made it even easier for us to order our favorite exotic eats.
