Welcome to our series sharing Food Holidays: March 2022. Did you know March is National Sauce Month because I didn’t until I saw it shared online? My question to you is what is your favorite Sauce and what dish do you use the Sauce on and why?
National Sauce Month
From the Mayonnaise to the Ketchup, there’s a sauce for everyone. Sauce is an integral part of Cuisines around the world. Sauces were originally invented to mask the freshness of food. Given their importance, Sauce doesn’t come as a surprise that there is a whole month dedicated to Sauces.
NATIONAL SAUCE MONTH ACTIVITIES
- Get out of your comfort zone in March and sample a new sauce by visiting a new restaurant. Or get your hands dirty in the kitchen and create a Sauce you’ve never made before.
- I remember as a child my mom using Mayonnaise, Eggs and Vinagr in our hair for different reasons. Have you used any of these in your hair?
- Mayonnaise is one of the most popular sauces and Mayonnaise isn’t just tasty, though. Mayonnaise is made from Egg Yolks and Vinegar; Mayonnaise is actually a cure for head lice.
- If there was a sauce your mom made you loved, try recreating that sauce.
WHY PEOPLE LOVE NATIONAL SAUCE MONTH
