Edinburgh's culinary scene is renowned and for good reason, we have some of the best restaurants and takeaways in Scotland, if not the whole of the UK.
And it seems one much-loved dish is placing us firmly on the global map, with Deliveroo declaring it one of their hottest trending dishes from around the world for 2022.
That's right the Pad Thai from the iconic Ting Thai Caravan has once again been named as one of the in-demand food delivery service's top dishes, not only placing second on the final UK list but also sixth in the global top 100.

Originally started as a street food stand in 2012, Ting Thai has gone on to be one of the capital's best-loved eateries with several openings in the city and further afield in Glasgow cementing its place as one of the best restaurants in Scotland.
Their renowned Pad Thai is made up of flat noodles with either prawns, chicken, or beef with peanuts, egg, nam pla, palm sugar, tamarind, chilli, bean sprouts and spring onion. There are also vegan and vegetarian versions.
The popular delivery service has taken a look back over the past year to create its annual ’Deliveroo 100 Report’ - a list of the top 100 trending dishes of 2022 globally AND the UK’s top 30.
A spokesperson for the firm said: "From Pita to Poke, no two dishes are the same in the global top ten trending dishes on Deliveroo in 2022. In fact, the food-delivery company has revealed that 2022 has the most eclectic top 100 list in recent years.
"Last year, Hawaiian poke bowls dominated the Deliveroo 100 list, reaching the number one spot in six different countries. However in 2022, customers have been branching out with their eating habits making for a varied trending dishes hotlist."
Burritos reached the top spot in three markets, while pizza (4%) and the classic burger (24%) also made up the most popular styles of takeaway from around the world.
Speaking about the UK's top tredning, they added: "The Burrito from Chipotle has won the hearts and stomachs of Londoners this year - making it to number one in the UK top ten list. Elsewhere in the UK’s top trending ten, Scots have been going mad for a Pad Thai as Ting Thai Caravan takes the silver medal, and The Cheeseburger from Five Guys has once again made it to the top ten list, this year winning bronze."
