A famous Indian dish was the most popular item ordered by Canadians on the SkipTheDishes app this year.
The food delivery service app revealed its annual ordering trends report and there are some fun facts.
For instance, Canadians love Indian food! The report shows that butter chicken was the most popular dish across the country, and it made the top ten list for every province.
Second, a perfect companion to the dish: garlic naan. In fact, the popular Indian bread actually made three separate appearances on Canada’s top ten most-ordered items.
