Conspiracy to ruin weenie rep
June 26th, 2008 by Cliff Bostock in Food & Life
Amanda Conti of Ask.com is doing her best to ruin the reputation of hot dogs:
Hi, Cliff…..I’m working with the popular search engine Ask.com and wanted to reach out with something I thought you might want on your radar screen with the July 4th holiday approaching.
For some, the 4th of July is all about fireworks and going to the beach. Grilling fans know better. It’s all about grilling and chilling. So, Ask.com decided to get to the ‘meat’ of the matter and dug into our search banks to see which came out on top this year — the hamburger or hot dog.
And, according to Ask.com’s online searchers, the answer is clear: hamburgers outweigh hot dogs in popularity by 33 percent.
Not to forget about something sweet to finish off the holiday meal, we wanted to test the adage that there’s nothing more American than apple pie, and a look at recent recipe searches in the Ask.com search banks proves that it’s absolutely true. Apple most certainly reigns supreme, accounting for 42 percent of all recent pie-recipe searches. Other seasonal favorites that round out the top three are key lime and strawberry- rhubarb.
