April Food Celebrations

Did you know that April 4th is National Burrito Day?
There are lots of other food celebrations that go on during April.
Do you have a favorite, or more than one?

Correction: National Burrito Day is April 3d, not 4th (first Thursday in April). But the more important question is why does the burrito only get one day a year, when the taco gets a day every week? Stuff like that keeps me awake at night!

Here’s a nifty list (similar to a link I posted in the March celebrations thread)

Also this

Alliteration is a powerful marketing tool. And now Taco Tuesday is no longer trademarked.

Two big religious holidays in April with lots of food — ie Easter and Passover — have continuing standalone threads linked below.

I think Id/ Eid celebrations may be extending till tomorrow, though they started yesterday.

Also, the celebration of half price Easter chocolate on Easter Monday.

Haha

I’ve lucked into two Easter dinners this year — one with extended family, one with my Greek friend’s family 2 weeks later.

Now on to Seders.

Sweet.

Thank you for the correction. I was misinformed. You’re right, the lowly burrito needs to be celebrated more often!

Maybe we should try starting “Mission Burrito Monday”!

Am I the only one who opened this thread thinking it was April Fool Celebrations and hoping it had a lot of banana recipes?

You need to get over here double-quick!

Hmm. Orthodox and Western Easter this year are on the same date, April 20.

I thought perhaps some ppl were doing an early Easter meal together because ppl were available on a specific date.

Except my family gatherings are not

4/20, which technically isn’t a food holiday, but you bet your sweet bippy that a lot of snack foods will be celebrated for their mere existence in proximity

I already have tickets to a 4/20 showing of Sinners (new horror movie directed by Ryan Coogler starring Michael B. Jordan) and I’m pretty sure there will be a rather indulgent lunch before hand. Possibly Korean fried chicken, or a poke bowl.

Here are your national (US) crappy burrito bargains on this, National Burrito Day.

I had completely forgotten today was NBD, but coincidentally Mrs. ricepad and I tried a new (to us) Mexican joint while we were out running errands today. She had a burrito mojado, while I ordered quesabirria tacos. I was a little surprised when the server gave me a choice of meat, between beef and goat! Naturally, I wanted chivo, especially at no extra cost.
