November National Food Holidays

Another month, another reason to highlight the National Holidays. In honor  of holiday season approaching, I’d like to focus this months national days on FOOD.

The month as a whole is known for:  Georgia Pecan Month,  Good Nutrition Month,  National Peanut Butter Lover’s Month,  National Pepper Month,  National Pomegranate Month, Raisin Bread Month, Vegan Month

National Fig Week is the first week in November. My family in Poland LOVES figs for some reason. We would always bring them boxes of Fig Newtons 🙂

Chicky ‘Tuna Fish’ Salad Sandwich

Chick-peas-from-can-POSTI realllllly don’t like the smell of tuna fish, nor do I have a desire to ever try it! My mother never really bought food in a can when we were growing up so I guess I am just not accustomed to canned tuna… Recently, I got a Spice Tuna sushi roll and liked it but I’m sure that tastes a lot different than canned tuna fish? I guess if I’m ever stuck on a deserted island and the only thing available is canned tuna fish – I would eat it- but until that happens – don’t pack this girl a tuna fish sandwich! The perfect alternative, however, is Isa Does it, Chicky “Tuna” Salad sandwich. It is vegan and made from chickpeas which some people suggest they have a tuna fish taste? I wouldn’t know…
