Fun Food Holidays!™ Today is November 7th

CDK is the home of the original Fun Food Holidays. This collection of food-related dates was created so every day would be a holiday. We have the most complete and up-to-date collection (even though others have tried to copy us) so check back each day for a new reason to celebrate food!

National Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day

Nov 8 National Cappuccino Day
National Cappuccino Day celebrates a flavorful favorite of coffee connaisseurs everywhere. When you need your caffeine fix, why not try this hot beverage made of espresso, hot milk, and steamed milk foam? CDK goes beyond beverages with many chic recipes for cappuccino mixes, muffins, cheesecake, and more!
Nov 8 National Harvey Wallbanger Day
A screwdriver deluxe, the Harvey Wallbanger is a cocktail made with vodka, orange juice, Galliano, and garnished with a cherry or orange slice. What, you weren't planning to skip cocktail hour today, were you? It's National Harvey Wallbanger Day!
Nov 8 to November 14 National Split Pea Soup Week
It's warm and fortifying, perfect for crisp fall weather. Split pea soup is a slightly thinner version of traditional pea soup. Often it contains ham or other pork meat, carrots, and of course, little split peas. And green, lots of the color green. Warm yourself this week at least one time with split pea soup!
Nov 9 National Scrapple Day
Everything but the 'oink.' That pretty much sums up this traditional dish of the Mid-Atlantic states composed of hog offal, cornmeal, and flour. This mush is fried and sometimes combined with spices and other ingredients to make a waste-not, want-not breakfast food. Today is National Scrapple Day!
Nov 9 Cook Something Bold and Pungent Day
