Daily Holidays - June 17

Eat All Your Veggies Day Five a day is just the starting point on Eat Your Vegetables Day, when you’re encouraged to make a solid attempt to eat all of your veggies. Why not go a step further by trying new or exotic vegetables, or preparing and cooking familiar favourites in new and exciting recipes?

We’ll even let you get away with including tomatoes as a vegetable (they’re actually a fruit) for this day, too. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/eat-your-vegetables-day/

National Apple Strudel Day According to some people, every day should be ‘apfelstrudel’ day, to give it its proper Austrian name. A dish that dates back to 1696, Apple strudel consists of a centre of apple, cinnamon and raisins, wrapped in crispy layers of pastry, that puff up in the oven; served with a dusting of icing sugar and a dollop of thick cream, comfort food at its finest.

The German meaning of strudel is vortex or eddy, which aptly describes the way the pastry layers circle the filling. When creating the dish these layers need to be worked until they are thin enough to read through. It is easy to create at home, using layers of buttered filo pastry, wrapped around your own stewed apple.

Why not celebrate Apple Strudel Day by donning lederhosen, practising some yodelling, and settling down to a warming plateful with a mug of hot chocolate on the side? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/apple-strudel-day/

Stewarts Root Beer Day For many years now, June 17 has the distinction of being National Stewart’s Root Beer Day. Celebrating this holiday each year is easy, just gather together some friends and some Stewart’s Root Beer and enjoy!

Originating in 1924 in Mansfield Ohio, Stewart’s Fountain Classics were a brand of “old fashioned” fountain sodas. They are a brand of premium soft drinks that are made in the United States. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/days-2/national-stewarts-root-beer-day-june-17/
