Chip and Dip Day

This day is all about the ultimate party snack: a crunchy chip and something creamy or zesty to scoop up. It is an excuse to gather everyone around a single bowl.

How it is celebrated: people set out guacamole, salsa, cheese or onion dip and a few kinds of chips, then argue over the best pairing. Plenty of cooks whip up their own dip from sour cream, herbs and spices.

According to a popular legend, potato chips were first made in Saratoga Springs, New York, though food historians treat the story as folklore.
