  3. Cake

  5. Beer
  6. Coffee
  7. Salad
  8. Cheese

Quite American, but this currently only for United States ("more countries coming soon").  Closest thing to an 'ethnic' food is Pizza.

FACT: the first-ever online purchase was a Pizza Hut pizza in 1994.

  • Protein: chicken, cheese, egg
  • Carbs: cake, cookie, bread, rice, potato, sugar (to some extent: wine and beer); chocolate unless dark
  • Beverages: wine, beer, coffee, tea
  • Processed food: pizza, cake, cookie, bread, sugar (some of these could be home-made)
  • Veggie: salad, tomato
  • Fruit: 'fruit' -- ? actually, tomato is by definition a fruit.
Would like to see more protein here, healthy foods like (grass-fed) beef.
