Irish top of the table for eating frozen pizza

Ireland has one of the biggest appetites for frozen pizzas and factory-made ready meals in Europe.

Figures from Euromonitor show Ireland is second only to Norway when it comes to forking out for pizza, while we are in the top 10 in Europe on ready meals such as noodles and prepared dinners.

The research throws a spotlight on our diet of instant, microwaveable food, which has shot up in popularity in the past decade.
