What the world eats

I would like to think we eat like Italy or Mexico, in reality tis more like USA or UK

in the Canadian picture I thought wasn't really enough food for a week. We're 5 but would last 3 days with that amount of food.

Mixture of Canada and Australia. Quite insightful pictures if the quantities are correct, portion sizes vary greatly.

Turkey.

Turkey. Or Mexico with tea and coffee in place of all that coke.

I'm and about Chad and Mali too..

France is closest but with less bread, no bottled water or juice.

Cross between Canada and Australia with a lot more broccoli (the only green veg DD will eat) thrown in.

I love the regimented Germanic grocery :)

I would like to say Mexico but no, we are definitely British.

The French family don't seem to eat much at all!

Somewhere between Britain and Canada.

As an aside though, I love your username OP Did you see him in The Hobbit?

I'm torn between Canada, Poland and India!

Australia seems to be all meat mainly.

The UK picture looks current to me - look at the packaging of the products. It all seems up to date.

Most like Germany but not quite so much alcohol.

Does the British family not eat any fresh meat? I couldn't even see any packets of frozen meat like chicken breasts or anything, but they have ham and sausages so they aren't veggie.

Without checking I'd say a mix of British, North Américan and Italian (as in pasta). I'm working towards Med and South Américan but dragging family along protesting makes it a bit harder. DD2's reaction To quinoa, fe, was "how much grit do we have To eat?"

Canada for us, but with more bread. Definitely not USA or Britain, on't buy a lot of packaged stuff really. Also we would have more spuds than any of the other countries

Italy, Mexico or Turkey but without fizzy sugary bottled crap. Australian one makes me feel a bit queasy and the Japanese shopping is unidentifiable.

we are definitely weird

weetbix or cornflakes in the mornings, milk squash/coffee

then whole meal bread veggies/fruit/barley/brown rice/wholemeal pasta/beans/potatoes

a chicken feeds us for a week. we occasionally have fishfingers. (twice in one week if you left the buggers to defrost on the draining board and needed to cook them all! now!)cheese and soft cheese.

throw in 4 chocolate coins, and a packet (3 or 4 portions) of unhealthy snack for me, maybe a can of cola per week. occasional biscuit for the children.

probably use a lot of oil though. and far too much salt for me.

The packaging of the British one looks quite current, just styled in a retro way. Like the fags in the queen mug at the front.

It makes it quite awkward to see what the actual meals they are planning are, because it's all mixed up.

I wonder if they just used one family's shop as an example or if they worked out what was 'average' from grocery bills?

I think we are roughly like the Canada picture.

I'm not shocked at the Australians' amount of meat. When I lived n South Africa we ate vast amounts of meat, especially in summer when we had lots of braais (barbecues).

Canada

More fruit and veg here though I reckon

intheframe

Fresh fruit & veg in Japan are incredibly expensive and something of a luxury item

My parents went last year, their diet is very healthy and they were looking for some melon to snack on -a quarter of a watermelon was around £10!

Hmm, I am not sure which I would pick. If I looked a our average shop it would contain fruit, veg, bread, milk, meat, pasta/rice, eggs, flour/sugar/butter and baby milk/wipes. We don't really buy any cereals except porridge oats and no biscuits or anything as I make them myself. We don't buy sweets v often as I find the halloween/christmas/easter ones the kids are given will last for most of the year. No fizzy drinks or squash as nobody drinks them, just coffee. We buy ingredients really I suppose I like cooking!

The Guatemalan picture is closest to our normal shop.

bebumba on further examination, I think we are closest to guatamala too.
