THE SPIRIT OF 76 PRETZELS

by Troy Pattee

Food holidays in April

We all know that April has the best holiday of the year, but it’s not all just fun and games. If April Fools Day leaves you feeling empty, try celebrating one of the many food holidays in April too!

APRIL 22 NATIONAL JELLY BEAN DAY

Whether you’re on Team Jelly Belly or you prefer the more sophisticated jelly beans made by Dean & Deluca, everyone wins on National Jelly Bean Day! Join me on this special day as we honor America’s jelly bean farmers.

APRIL 23 NATIONAL ZUCCHINI BREAD DAY

What’s not to love about a day commemorating that delectable treat made from arguably the country’s most infamous squash? Ask me again in August.

APRIL 26 NATIONAL PRETZEL DAY

Thanks to the Pretzel Rebellion of 1776, the twisted brilliance of baker Piotr Pretzelewski will be neglected no more! Yes, I made that name up. But please don’t let that take away from your enjoyment of this holiday.

APRIL 27 NATIONAL PRIME RIB DAY

While not yet an official holiday as determined by congressional records or presidential proclamations, this favorite cut of beef can be found at steakhouses and truck stops across the country. Just make sure you arrive early if you hope for a rare piece.

APRIL 29 NATIONAL SHRIMP SCAMPI DAY

 A recent study by the National Institute of Narrow-nasal Insectipods (NINNI) found that shrimp scampi can be found on the menu in every one of the over 700 Red Lobster restaurant locations worldwide. Your tax dollars at work.

So there it is, five more delicious holidays this month. What is your favorite of the less-obscure holidays each year?

    Oh, man! You have the funniest posts! I love the art. Don’t forget that April 17 is National Cheeseball Day,
    April 19 is National Garlic Day, and, though not food related, April 20 is National Look Alike Day. Who will you be? 🙂
