National Eat What You Want Day
May 11 · Level 2 · #1797 of 2238
This unofficial American food holiday gives favourite dishes a turn in the spotlight. The idea is simple: choose something you enjoy, whether that means an elaborate dessert, a familiar family recipe or an entirely ordinary lunch.
How it is celebrated: people cook a favourite meal, order a treat or finally try a dish they have been curious about. Sharing food also makes a good excuse to swap stories about childhood favourites.
There is no signature dish for this occasion. A bowl of soup fits the theme just as well as a towering cake; personal taste supplies the menu.
