August Food Holidays
National and international food holidays and observances for the month of August
You could sneak zucchini onto your neighbor’s porch on August 8th but we’re pretty sure that just ends with you getting tasered in someone’s front yard. Then you’ll start having awkward moments as people whisper and point at you while you’re browsing the produce at a farmer’s market and before you know it, you’ll be the house that neighborhood kids dare each other to run up to and ring the doorbell. The Zucchini Lady, that’s what they’ll call you.
Nope, it’s probably best just to make up some zucchini bread, sit back on the porch — your own porch — and sip on a creamy root beer float or better yet, an ice cold pint of your favorite IPA which is currently Space Dust IPA from Elysian Brewing in case you were wondering (or even if you weren’t).
