A compact look at summer food trivia. Vanilla ice cream dominates favorites at over 25 percent, with chocolate trailing. The piece recalls ancient sherbet origins, Roman ice, Marco Polo travels, early ice cream trends, and the rise of home refrigeration. It notes American hot dog consumption and the dachshund name origin.
Backyard barbecues signal summer with hamburgers and corn on the cob. The burger's rise traces to German immigrants and White Castle's 1921 chain. Corn's uses span syrup fuel paint and more, with maize roots dating back 10 000 years in the Americas, and watermelons tied to Africa and early colonists.
