Profile America: About Summer Food Favourites

Washington / DC. (gov) A number of special observances are held in July – three of them seem just right for summer. It is not only «National Grilling Month» but also «National Hot Dog Month» and, since 1984, «National Ice Cream Month». Whether we call them frankfurters or just plain hot dogs, Americans eat some seven billion of them during the summer months, grilled, microwaved, or boiled. While more hot dogs are consumed during the season, they are popular all year round – part of nearly 44 billion USD of processed meats sold in the U.S. each year. And when it comes to ice cream, we especially savour the cold treat during the summer and scoop it out all year long. Americans consume a per capita average of 22 pounds of frozen dairy products annually – according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
