Bacon vs. Fries: The Serious Eats Nation Has Spoken
Earlier today, I mentioned Bob Bacon trouncing Matt Fries in Colorado's District 14 State Senate election on Tuesday. In the comments there, Serious eater amanda0730 reminded us all of the "Would you rather give up bacon or french fries?" thread from July 29, 2008, in Talk.
With 56 serious eaters reporting, I'm ready to call that "election." Bacon wins by a landslide, giving this porky product a clear mandate to dominate our plates and palates for years to come. The eaters have spoken. The breakdown:
The issue: Would you rather give up bacon or fries?
Give up bacon: 15 (26.7%)
Give up fries: 28 (50%)
Undecided*: 13 (23.2 %)
Total serious eaters reporting: 56
Like some ballot initiatives, this one may have confused some voters, as a negative vote for one was a positive vote for the other.
* The elections commission here at SEHQ determined that undecided "voters" were those trying to give up neither, both, or folks who gave vague or hard-to-interpret answers.
