I’m pretty sure a few friends from my days in online marketing will be spitting their tea out to see me post an infographic. I can be a bit of a grinch when it comes to blogger outreach, but Hotels4U have produced a really nice wee piece of marketing material here. When I read it, my heart must have grown three sizes, because here I am sticking it on my blog.
Some of the statistics surprised me; I can’t believe the French eat 500,000,000 snails a year! My own opinion on escargots is coming up soon, btw.
One statistic that didn’t surprise me was the first one. 27% of UK holiday makers take tea bags abroad with them, and I’m not ashamed to say that I’m one of those Brits. My love of tea is so strong that one of the first presents James bought me was a travel sized pack of Tetley to take with me on the spontaneous jaunts we used to book in the early days of our relationship.
Unfortunately, my friends seem to be part of the 73% who don’t take teabags on holidays with them. When they came to visit me in France for a week they absolutely ripped through my cache of Typhoo. Guys, you’re only meant to use one tea bag per cup! We don’t have Morrisons in France, you know. 
Thankfully they brought me some Irn Bru, so all is forgiven.
Anyroad, here’s the Hungry Traveller Foodie Facts infographic!
So after reading that, who’s up for a trip to Goa? The beer’s are on me.
This post is sponsored by Hotels4U. Opinions, ridiculous as they may be, are mine own. Unfortunately so are the tea drinking friends: although if Hotels4U would like to make me an offer on them, I’m open to discussion…
Hiya, I'm Jemma: an Edinburgh lass currently chomping my way around the South of France. I like cheap eats, diamond in the rough eateries, and trying new things.
I'm munching my way around the Haute-Pyrenees until April, when I'll be heading back to Edinburgh for a week and then onwards to adventures in Ireland, Spain, and Portugal!
Sydney is conspicuously absent from the expensive beer list. It’s really expensive, they don’t even serve it in sensible sizes and you can’t buy alcohol from the supermarket or newsagent. Bloody responsible drinking measures.
Dave, that sounds absolutely hellish! I didn’t fancy Australia before but I definitely don’t fancy it now.
What I don’t understand about these “responsible drinking measures” is that it doesn’t seem to work. Even though the French apparently drink loads of wine (mmm cheap cheap wine) I never see them falling over themselves being sick and causing fights. I drink more sensibly now that wine only costs me £3 a bottle than I did when it was costing me a tenner!
Food for thought!
