Northumberland foodies were part of a national trend for quirky and indulgent orders, as revealed in the Uber Eats Cravings Report 2024.
The annual snapshot of delivery trends highlights how Canadians made the most of their customisation options.
French fries remained the top late-night order nationwide, with medium-sized servings dominating. Vodka overtook tequila as the most ordered spirit, with Tito’s Handmade Vodka taking the lead. Meanwhile, margaritas on the rocks were the go-to pairing for tacos and sushi.
The report also revealed unique combinations like scallops with boiled eggs and fajitas paired with French onion soup. Grocery deliveries saw bananas as the top item, with Cobourg among the cities showing a consistent demand for this versatile fruit.
Tipping spiked during the solar eclipse on October 14, with Canadian drivers enjoying higher-than-usual gratuities. Northumberland County joined the national indulgence trend, with locals favouring extra spicy mayo and maximum cheese options.
The Cravings Report offers a quirky look at how Canadians-including residents of Northumberland-have embraced on-demand delivery for everything from comfort foods to essentials like pet supplies and even roses.
