World Egg Day! Ketchup on Eggs, Yes or No? Plus Nine More Food Debates

Happy World Egg Day, celebrating the most scrambly of all foods.  The International Egg Commission started it in 1996, so it’s the 30th year it’s been celebrated.

84% of Americans like or love eggs, according to a recent poll, and just 3% of us fully hate them.  But even a lot of egg-lovers are split on this next question:  Are you a KETCHUP on eggs person?

A new poll out this week asked about different “food debates,” and that one made the list.  Here are a few food topics people are oddly passionate about.

1.  Ketchup on eggs?  A full THIRD of us are now on board with it.  32% of Americans say they “like” or “love” ketchup on eggs.

2.  Is chili a soup, a stew, or neither?  Stew wins with 60% of the vote.  23% said neither, and 18% think chili is soup.  (Wrong.)

3.  Is a hot dog a sandwich?  40% say yes, 53% say no.  The other 7% still haven’t made up their mind.

4.  Is a hamburger a sandwich?  73% think it is.

5.  How should a sandwich be cut in half?  29% said vertically, 49% said diagonally, and 22% said neither.

6.  Is coleslaw a salad?  67% think it counts, yes.

7.  Pineapple on pizza?  48% of us like or love it now.  So it’s gone mainstream.

8.  Is leftover pizza better warm or cold?  28% prefer it cold.

9.  When pouring a bowl of cereal, do you pour the milk or cereal first?  Only 4% of us go milk first.

10.  Best brownie, edge piece or middle piece?  45% said edge of the pan, and 39% said middle.  The other 16% are happy with any brownie.
