Celebrate the Silly and Scrumptious
From the celebratory stack of waffles to the unexpected zucchini lurking on your neighbor’s porch (National Zucchini Bread Day, anyone?), the world of national food holidays is a bewildering one. In this episode of Passing the Plate, we talk about these quirky traditions, exploring their origins and celebrating the fun of indulging.

- The History Behind the Plate: We’ll uncover the stories behind some of the most popular (and perhaps some lesser-known) food holidays. Discover the origins of these quirky celebrations and learn the sometimes surprising motives that sparked them.
- Celebrating with Gusto: Beyond the historical tidbits, we’ll embrace the fun of themed food holidays. Get inspired to plan your own celebratory feasts, whip up creative dishes that honor the day, and just enjoy a love of food with friends and family.
- The Follies (and Fun) of Food Holidays: We won’t shy away from the occasional absurdity! Let’s face it, some food holidays are just plain weird. We’ll explore the humorous side of these quirky traditions and sense of community they foster.
