Google wants to help you prepare the most popular dishes for US Independence Day with this special Google doodle.
The Fourth of July is tomorrow, but Google has uploaded its Independence Day doodle on the Google US home page a day early. The doodle showcases some of the most-searched-for recipes broken down by state. Google used Google Trends to build this year’s doodle. When you click on the play button on the doodle, you can drill into any state within the USA and pull up the most-searched-for dish.
Google will then direct you to a Google search for the recipe so you can make the dish yourself at home.
Google said on its blog:
To celebrate the the United States’ birthday—and one of the most scrumptious holidays of the summer — today’s Doodle shares top searched recipes in each U.S. state and territory. The results are as American as apple pie…and gumbo, goulash and spaghetti squash.
Click through the interactive map to find what recipes people are searching for based on Google Trends data, fun facts about the delectable dishes and a whole lot of inspiration for your upcoming Fourth of July menus.
