top_10_weekly_didyouknows3Happy Friday!

The weekend is almost here, and once again the FoodEssentials team have prepared the top 10 food trivia/food quotes from the past week – designed to get you past the last few hours of work left this week, and prepare you for the weekend. We have delivered food trivia with a bit of a twist this week. This writer was able to get his hands on a great source for funny quotes, some of which have been quite popular on twitter, so I have slipped in a few funny-ones in this weeks edition. In doing so, the top 10 has actually increased in size to the top 11 – but who’s counting?

Things you will learn from reading this post, and will later be able to test your friends over the weekend in order to make you seem the intelligent being that you are, include: The most popular pizza topping in Japan; The net amount of food each American family consumes per year; The exact number of rice varieties that exist AND… the ratio of corn to weight in a box of corn flakes – Fascinating stuff folks. All this plus much, much more – ENJOY (and have a great weekend!)
