    What are the "thousand islands" that Thousand Island Dressing is named for?

    Question #68573. Asked by Allergic2Life. (Jul 21 06 2:08 PM)

    		The dressing was popularized by one of Sophia LaLonde’s dinner guests, actress May Irwin, who gave the condiment its name, after LaLonde's home, the Thousand Islands region of upstate New York and Eastern Ontario.

    An alternate tale is that the name refers to the multitude of small specks that dot the dressing.
