Do you know that today is 'National Food on a Stick Day'?!

We thought 'National Talk Like A Pirate Day' was strange enough, but apparently today is something called 'National Food on a Stick Day'.

Yes, some enlightened soul has decided that tasty treats on a stick deserved to be celebrated in such a fashion.

According to a poll which was carried out on behalf of the 11850 directory enquiry service, the nation's most loved foods which come served on a stick are:

1) Cocktail Sausages – A classic which earns itself a place of honour on most party tables.

2) Ice cream – Available in multiple flavours, shapes and types.

3) Corn on the Cob – Not a classic on the party scene, but a favorite among those surveyed.

4) Chicken Satay Skewers – our favourite version in Athlone is served at Kin Khao Thai restaurant.

5) Lollipops – The classic lollipop has been around for years and is a favorite of young and old alike.
