In the past, people used to pray before they dug into their food. Even now, a majority still do it. However, there is another act that has grown in popularity and will undoubtedly continue to grow — taking pictures of the food before consuming it.

It now happens all over the world and nearly nobody bats an eyelash about it anymore. However, according to photoworld.com, popular photogenic foods differ from place to place.

A good example is London, a place currently undergoing a pandemonium over patties. This city is recognized as the top city in the world for Instagrammed burgers.

New York comes second and Los Angeles, third. However when it comes to bacon, New York is known to have the highest percentage share of picture perfect bacon then London.
