Two data visualizations are provided, showcasing the preferred takeaway choices among Canadians and the evolution of the number of Indian restaurants in the country from 1960 to 2015.
The pie chart delineates the popular takeaway preferences in Canada, highlighting the significant share held by Thai and Indian cuisines at 34% and 25% respectively. Conversely, the bar graph demonstrates a substantial growth in the quantity of Indian restaurants over the examined period.
The data indicates that after Thai and Indian cuisines, Italian food is the third most favored option at 11%, closely followed by individuals who prefer not to order takeaway at 11%. Moreover, Persian cuisine attracts 3% of the population, while other culinary options garner less interest.
Significantly, the progression in the number of Indian restaurants is noteworthy. From a mere 2,000 establishments in 1980, the figure surged to 8,500 by 2015, experiencing fluctuations but predominantly on an upward trajectory. This growth signifies a notable shift in the culinary landscape of Canada, particularly in the popularity of Indian cuisine.
