From dining out or grabbing street food, to who cooks most at home or reaches for the takeaway delivery menu, the data gives intriguing tasters of eating habits around the world.

Back in the home, Indians and Ukrainians spend more than 13 hours a week in the kitchen — while the British and Americans take less than half that time.
