When it comes to lunch, every employee has their own culinary preferences. Some swear by a good hearty meal, while others prefer to eat something on the go. But according to a recent survey, the most popular choice of working people for their lunch break is the iconic sandwich.

The KickResume website examined the culinary habits of workers in 28 countries around the world. It turns out that many of them like to eat food typical of their country during their lunch break. In Germany, for example, working people eat a bread roll topped with bratwurst, the emblematic pork sausage of the German-speaking world, while Canadians like to indulge in poutine, a dish of soft cheese fries drowned in brown gravy. In Indonesia, rendang -- the national dish from the island of Sumatra made with meat, coconut milk and spices -- is a hit with the working population.
