How We Worked It Out
We used Google Trends to find the most popular international cuisine in Canada and to find the 10 Canadian cities where the top cuisine is the most popular. Cuisines searched for: Chinese, East European, French, Greek, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mexican, Portuguese, South American, Spanish and Thai. Chinese was found to be Canada’s most popular international cuisine.
The cuisines were searched as ‘topics’ rather than as ‘search terms’, as Google includes words that share the same concept in any language in its topics. This is especially important in Canada, which has both English and French as official languages.
