Sometimes when you’re on a trip, the last thing you want to do is leave the comfort of your hotel room to find something to eat. That’s when you’re grateful to be able to pick up the phone and call room service, so you can enjoy a meal in bed. And new research from Hotels.com gives us a peek into what people around the world are ordering from their hotel.

Hotels.com has just released their first Room Service Report, which includes requests from nearly 500 hotels in the U.S., as well as the U.K., Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. And if you’ve ever felt bad for ordering something off-menu from room service, take comfort in the fact it’s probably not the strangest request they’ve had.
