Do you celebrate food holidays? We all know some of the basics, like National Chocolate Day or National Wine Day. But there are some odd ones out there you may not have heard of. Here are ridiculous food holidays you won’t believe actually exist.
Something on a Stick Day
March 28 is Something on a Stick Day. This holiday is a bit less specific. Literally anything on a stick counts–from popsicles to corndogs. You could make anything, put a stick on it, and now you’re celebrating.
Candied Orange Peel Day
May 4 is Candied Orange Peel Day. It’s pretty simple for a holiday, and not the easiest thing to find in your local grocery store. There’s plenty of DIY recipes out there though.
Lima Bean Respect Day
April 20 is Lima Bean Respect Day. Whether you eat them for spices such as garlic and pepper, stew them slowly, or however you like them–this is the day to celebrate them.
Egg Salad Week
The first week after Easter is Egg Salad Week. Japan has created the holiday, but no matter where you are in the world, feel free to celebrate this delicious sandwich (or however you eat it.
Gumdrop Day
Feb 15 is Gumdrop Day. They’re most useful when making gingerbread houses, but does anyone actually eat these things for a snack? They stick to your teeth, and don’t have much flavor. But to each his own.
Fruit Cocktail Day
May 13 is Fruit Cocktail Day. These delicious cups are something to celebrate, and the nice thing about it is that you can have any combination you like.
Bicarbonate of Soda Day
December 30 is Bicarbonate of Soda Day. It sounds fancy, but it’s basically baking soda. The most logical way to celebrate it would probably be to bake something. Otherwise, you can use baking soda for various other things—such as putting it in your fridge to keep odors down.
Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Omelet Day
July 9 is Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Omelet Day. This one is a bit of a stumper. Are we supposed to use the minimal amount of eggs possible to make an omelet, or just not overdo it? We need some expert advice here.
National Grits for Breakfast Day
September 2 is National Grits for Breakfast Day. So if you like grits, this is a great day for you. You’ve got a short window though, since it’s very specific to have them for breakfast–otherwise the holiday is null.
Noodle Ring Day
December 11 is Noodle Ring Day. Noodle rings are made of mushroom soup, noodles and broccoli. It’s a bit of a retro food, so you may not see it as often on today’s menus.
Ice Cream For Breakfast Day
Ice Cream For Breakfast Day is celebrated the first Saturday of February. So if you love ice cream, this is your day to eat it the way you have always wanted to.
Fruitcake Toss Day
In Colorado, January 3 is Fruitcake Toss Day. Every year, people gather from all over the world to toss their Christmas fruitcake as far as they can.
World Drive-Thru Day
July 24 is World Drive-Thru Day. Drive-Thru are a major tradition in the modern world, so it makes sense they have their own holiday.
National Crackers Over the Keyboard Day
Created by Thomas Roy, who has created holidays such as Haunted Refrigerator Night, this holiday encourages you to clog your keyboards. You can celebrate it on August 28.
World Egg Week
Starting the second Friday of October, people around the world celebrate one simple thing: the egg. The great thing about it is that it can be celebrated in so many different ways–from omelets to cake. Whatever your favorite food that contains eggs, this is a good time to celebrate.
