National Food Days- February 2015

February is a short month but we still have our calendar for the National Food Days. We have Superbowl Sunday on February 1st so we will unofficially proclaim that day Guacamole Day. Also, don’t forget Valentine’s Day on February 14th (“National Amateur Restaurant Dining Day”). As for official(?) food days for this month, enjoy Fondue, Sweet Potato, Grapefruit and Cherry for the entire month. And remember, we publish this calendar every month and it is intended for you to have fun with and give you some ideas to throw on your menus. The items listed have been given their National Day status by someone in congress and are not necessarily a seasonal food or ingredient. Here are the foods that have a special day dedicated to them:
