It is cold and there's snow falling. There are a lot of recipes and ideas on the internet on what to eat for winter dinners. I wonder where recipes falls in the list of most popular searches. Looking at Google's list of most popular topics by category the most of the recipes are non-North American. Here's the list:
I wonder what the common link is in the recipes. There doesn't look to be any to me - a wide range of topics from all over the world. Looking through the searches, I am not sure that salt cookie is a food search - it looks more like a character who is friends with Hero Cookie, Herb Cookie and more.
And how funny is any of the food in the list. Not very many jokes on paneer, bolo and so on. In comparison, there are thousands of pasta jokes. You don't even need to leave the search titles - 15 pasta puns that will have you ravelling on the floor. The most popular joke on the Scotsman website is a pasta joke:
"The joke in question, ‘I tried to steal spaghetti from the shop, but the female guard saw me and I couldn’t get pasta’, secured more than half the votes (52 per cent) in a survey of more than 2,000 people.
Mark Simmons, who also made the shortlist back in 2017, took more than a third (37 per cent) of the votes thanks to his one liner, ‘Did you know, if you get pregnant in the Amazon, it’s next day delivery?’
The comedian and children’s author, Olaf Falafel, had two lines shortlisted, and came a close third with another culinary-themed joke: ‘My attempts to combine nitrous oxide and Oxo cubes made me a laughing stock.’
In eighth place was his deadpan remark: ‘I spent the whole morning building a time machine, so that’s four hours of my life that I’m definitely getting back.’
Mr Vine, a two-time winner of the award, was shortlisted for ‘I used to live hand to mouth. Do you know what changed my life? Cutlery’.
Here's the rest of the list:
4. By my age, my parents had a house and a family, and to be fair to me, so do I, but it is the same house and it is the same family Hannah Fairweather
5. I hate funerals – I’m not a mourning person Will Mars
6. I spent the whole morning building a time machine, so that’s four hours of my life that I’m definitely getting back Olaf Falafel
7. I sent a food parcel to my first wife. FedEx Richard Pulsford
9. Don’t knock threesomes. Having a threesome is like hiring an intern to do all the jobs you hate Sophie Duker
10. I can’t even be bothered to be apathetic these days Will Duggan
