So you mean, that there are multiple entries in table of a specific food name?

Why you expect this much from others? Read this question twice and think of it. Is this a question? How some one can assume everything?

Generally to write such queries you should break down what you are saying, so:

"...inserted food name" (get the count of food name to see which is most inserted):

SQL

select foodname, count(foodname) as c from foodtable group by foodname

"fetch food name order by most inserted..." (uses the above in a compound query):

SQL

select t.foodname from 
(  select foodname, count(foodname) as c from foodtable group by foodname ) 
as t order by t.c desc

Now you can optimize this, but it's a good place to start.

Here try something like this, Since I don't exactly know the column and table names, So here it goes:

SQL

SELECT FoodName, COUNT(FoodName) FROM dbo.FoodTable GROUP BY FoodName
ORDER BY COUNT(FoodName) DESC

Let me know, if you expected something different.
