Why do Londoners eat so much cucumber? What your borough orders the most on Deliveroo

Have you ever wondered what weird grocery items people order on Deliveroo? Here, I’ll give you one for free: During the pandemic, I regularly used to order a four pack of beer, a Covid test and some Rowntree's Randoms from Sainsbury’s and then have the rider throw it up to me on my first floor balcony.
