Here are some fun facts I gathered from the new Hungry Girl 200 Under 200 book!

  • When someone is being a grouch, quite often we'll call that person "crabby." The root of the word comes from the old English "crabba," meaning "to scratch or claw." (Yup, that sounds like a crab.)
  • Other names for the ever-popular Pigs in a Blanket include Wiener Winks, Kilted Sausages and Wurstchen im Schlafrock, which pretty much means sausage in a nightgown.
  • One of the healthiest things about tilapia - they're herbivores. This means they consume fewer toxins than the fish-eat-fish types and are safer for us to eat. Tilapia is also now the 5th most commonly eaten seafood in the U.S.
  • Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, Pennsylvania, is touted as having "possibly the world's largest hamburgers." The menu features the 15 lb Bell Buster, the Belly Bruiser (50+ lbs), and the Main Even Burger (aka the Charity Burger) - that thing weighs in at more than 100 lbs. Yikes!
