90% eat pizza at least once a week

[brasty]

I was surprised to read that 90% of adults eat pizza at least once a week. AIBU

I am really surprised, yes. I do not eat it once a week- though I do eat it. My mum probably eats it twice a year, max. There must also be lots of people from cultures where eating pizza is not the norm who don't have it that often. Maybe the sample was of 100 Asda-shoppers in Essex or something.

We have pizza once a week too. (Both kids love it and would eat it every day if I let them!)
at all those admitting yes, they eat pizza, but they're all handmade at dawn and kneaded by the hands of fairies or something.
I go to Iceland and I bet loads of others do too or are just lying lol

My DP takes the same sandwich to work every day, and has for years

Must be well fucking mouldy by now

Genuine

Worral I laughed out loud at that. Dh who's trying to sleep wasn't pleased oops.

Lol worra.

10% here, x2

I'm surprised it's that high too. Bloody love pizza but it's definitely a treat, once a month type meal for me.

Monday night is Pizza night in our house - dough in the bread maker, passata, cheese and whatever toppings we can find in the fridge.

It started when I went back to work full time and couldn't deal with meal planning so we have the same meals each week now

Finger - me too, same situation, then I laughed again when I saw your comment. Dh has just huffed and put the pillow over his head.

Friday is our pizza night. Sometimes homemade, sometimes ordered.

I don't eat on Friday nights as cheese gives me terrible migraines...even the smell of it makes me feel ill

I don't know what the 90% means really though, so don' t know if I'm surprised or if YABU to be surprised.
90% of all adults? Uk, The World, European, what ages of adult, all?

So many variables, it's hard to say.

I wonder how often people eat pasta. I'd happily eat it every day

We probably have pizza of some sort every week. Frozen ones or takeaway or homemade.

My mum makes a shortcrust pastry-based pizza sometimes. It's not authentic at all, but delicious.

I'm amazed that there could be any meal that 90% of the population eat every week tbh

That's the territory I'm entering, WankingMonkey :( I even threw up after some cauliflower cheese, before Christmas, and I am never sick unless I'm pregnant or pissed! It was the first non pregnant or pissed vom I'd done for 35 years!

The boys got there, years ago. Poor sods can't even eat chocolate

CheeseQueen Iceland pizzas are lovely :)

I'm not a big fan and would happily never eat it again but I feed it to the dcs loads because it takes less than 10 minutes, goes with a salad, and they all like it. I can't be arsed to make pizza 'from scratch' because it seems to much faff for something that is a bit meh. It's like those people who take 45 minutes to make 'amazing' scrambled eggs. I'd rather pretty good scrambled eggs in 2 minutes.

I'm one of the 90% - just had one tonight

I was particularly pleased with myself as I found it in the reduced about-to-go-out-of-date shelf in Tescos, reduced from £5 to £2.10 - RESULT!

Nope...maybe a couple of times a year.DH doesn't like pizza and I am gluten intolerant so it seems too much of a faff.
I do like (gluten free) toasties with cheese and pesto in tho!

I'm surprised by the 90% though. I think they've surveyed men aged 18-24 and extrapolated.

90% of adults in the UK

Lucky 90%!

Well, I'd be very surprised to hear / read that 90% of all adults eat pizza at least once a week. Even if it were '90% of adults in the UK' a reckon that is a highly suspect figure.

Any clues how big their sample was for the survey, or how random it was? Or if it were a magazine survey of 100 people all interviewed coming out of pizza hut

we probably have it once a fortnight in our house - a weekend lunch/if we have kids over after school/ quick post swimming tea.

we also have a roasted whole chicken of some sort, once a week. Is that as weird or is that ok?

There is no way that statement is correct - no way do 90% of adults eat it every single week. You've got gluten free people, coeliacs, people on carb free diets, people who eat healthily most of the time, models, sportspeople etc etc no way do 90% eat it weekly.

Well we are in the ten percent too, probably a couple of times a year we have pizza. 90 percent seems a bit high...

I'm surprised 10% don't! We sometimes have it twice
