After the high jumps in prices, which started affecting all commodities in Egypt, including food, Egyptians wouldn’t stop their craving for food; however, their food preferences were affected. In a series of info graphs published by Elmenus, an online food-discovery platform, about Egyptians’ food preferences in 2016, the affect of the jumping prices clearly reflected the bad economic state Egyptians suffer from. According to the survey, koshary, feteer, and kebda (chicken liver) were among the most searched food on the website, as people craved them the most, along with pizza, pasta, and shawerma. That is explained due to the huge increase of prices, which have at least doubled in the last three years, as the info graphs shows. On another scale, the info graphs also show the most searched food for people beneath 30, with crepes, waffles, ice cream, and desserts dominating their searches.
