I was keeping up to date with these dates and posting new threads in 'food in the news' as dates came up - must get back to doing that. National Shrimp (prawn) Day gets my vote!

May 25: National Wine Day

Shouldn't that be "National Wine Month"?

Or maybe "National Wine Year"?

May 8 - NATIONAL COCONUT CREAM PIE DAY

What is that? Sounds horrible to me...

I looked it up and its not really horrible - I was imagining a pie filled with cream of coconut!

Years ago, I belonged to a Msn foodie group. We shared recipes based on the food of the day list. I think someone made the list up, though. Don't know where it actually came from - if it's based on anything real.

Really don't pay much attention. We make what we want on any particular day.

It's pretty good, but don't think most have eaten it in 40 years. Personally, I found many dishes on the list old fashioned or outdated.

I’ve just noticed that it is national shrimp day. Unfortunately I’ve just planned a menu for today that doesn’t include prawns. Maybe tomorrow...

One of my favourite ways of serving prawns is as egg tapas. Marie Rose sauce is incorporated with the cooked egg yolk.
