National Food Days are a close second when celebrating a particular day or month of the year. Second, only, of course, to a loved one’s birthday. Honestly, I guess it depends on how important those people are to you. I can think of a few people in my family where a National Chocolate Cake Day may beat their celebration. It’s a double win if your birthday falls on one of your favorite food days. In my case, I lucked out. My birthday and National Grilled Cheese Day are the same, April 12th. How do you celebrate your favorite national food holidays, and does your birthday fall on a National Food Holiday ?
