As I write this, it's National Doughnut Day, and doughnuts are probably one of the best things we can celebrate. I've been sneaking doughnuts from my parents since before the age of two. My first idea was to type up some strange, unique, and slightly unknown National Days. But then my brilliant mother mentioned different National Days that consist of food. So here I am listing National Food Days for each month.
