Here’s a little meme that quizzes your powers of association. Think of it as a food Rorschach test. Don’t think too long. Thanks to Lemuel.
What food item(s) do you most associate with the following holidays/events?
1. New Year’s Eve
Oliebollen = Dutch doughnuts and at midnight CHAMPAGNE !
2. New Year’s Day
Overgebleven oliebollen = Leftover Dutch doughnuts [a recipe is scheduled for December 1!]
3. Valentine’s Day
This is an American tradition which is not settled yet here in the Netherlands.
Feel good food?
4. Easter/Passover/vernal equinox
Eggs, chocolate eggs
5. Independence Day/Canada Day/”Your National Day”
Our National Day is Queensday, April 30. So that would mean beer, beer and more beer.
6. Thanksgiving/harvest festival
This is an American tradition which is not settled yet here in the Netherlands.
We’re thankful for every party or festival, it would mean beer, beer and more beer.
7. Christmas/Chanukkah/winter solstice
Speculaas*, chocolates, feel good food [* a recipe is scheduled for mid November]
8. Birthdays
Cakes, lemonade
9. Marriages
Salmon, champagne, and more champagne
10. Funerals/wakes
Coffee with a slice of cake
what a great meme!
and synchronicity at its best – I was half thinking of how to make one like this and now I can merely ’steal’ it.
hohoho
There is a beverage theme going on here! LOL!
I loved the New Years Eve/New Years day thing with doughnuts and leftover doughnuts.
