As part of the county’s celebration of the One county One read book of John Green’s “The Anthropocene Reviewed,” the Wells County Public Library hosted a Hot Dog Around the World sampling session Wednesday evening.

At the library’s “Hot Dogs Around the World” event Herb Bergman, at left, is shown with hot dogs from five countries on his plate. Also adding the correct condiments to her hot dogs was Deb Barrick, at right.

Green writes about two hot dog experiences in his book and it is the story about the “Hot Dogs of Baejarins Beztu Pylsur” that took place in Iceland that encouraged the hot dog sampling evening.

Participants could sample five hot dogs as prepared in five different countries including Chili, Canada, Mexico, USA (Hawaii) and Iceland. And then like Green they could rate the experience from one to five stars.

An unofficial tally seemed to give the hot dog from Iceland the most stars. The bun had to include crisp fried onions, chopped raw onions, ketchup, sweet brown mustard and Remoulade sauce—along with the hot dog.

While dining the guests could watch an Iceland Travelogue and view the hot dog stand Green wrote about as well as play Hot Dog Trivia.

Another program in the One county One Read series will be the Musiclectics Concert on Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 6:30 p.m.
