Welcome to our series sharing Unique Holidays: July 18th, 2021. Take a look at the Holidays being celebrated today and let me know which Holiday you most would like to celebrate.
For my family we will not be celebrating National Caviar Day because none of us eat Caviar. Then there is National Ice Cream Day and all three of us would be excited to celebrate this Holiday by having Ice Cream. How about you?
Then there is Women’s Dive Day and being a women I don’t want to celebrate it because I don’t dive and I don’t plan on learning any time soon. How about you?
National Caviar Day– something’s fishy here
Did you know something Fishy is going on today. It’s National Caviar Day. Now, just what’s all the roe about this day!?
First of all Caviar is Salted Fish Eggs, or “roe”. Caviar is considered a delicacy is enjoyed by the upper class, and those of us who occasionally can afford a little of it, just so we can say that we had Caviar.
Russian Caviar is reputed to be the very best, most sought after of all Caviars. Did you know there’s red Caviar and black Caviar, along with other colors. Black is considered the best but perhaps you should do a taste test.
The most prestigious, and best Caviar comes from Sturgeon found in the Caspian Sea. But, other Fish, including Whitefish and Salmon, are less expensive alternatives.
Which Caviar truly tastes the best you’ll have to be the judge because I don’t plan on trying Caviar ever and Charlie and David said they didn’t want to either..
The History and Origin of National Caviar Day:
Our research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day and we didn’t find any documentation confirming this to be a “National” day. We found no Congressional Records or Presidential Proclamation.
National Ice Cream Day – third Sunday of the month
National Ice Cream Day – 3rd Sunday in July
Ice Cream Day – December 13th
When you get the urge for a snack on a hot, humid Summer night, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? That’s right….Ice Cream! Therefore, it’s only fitting that Ice Cream be given it’s own special day.
On this day, we hope you enjoy an Ice Cream Cone, a Sundae, or a Milk Shake. Set the diet aside and splurge a little…have one of each!
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed July as National Ice Cream Month and he also established National Ice Cream Day as the third Sunday in the month.
Ice cream is nutritious and a little heavy on the Sugar and calories, Ice Cream is otherwise good for you. Its base ingredient is Milk, which is loaded with healthy Vitamins and Minerals.
Did you know? Charles E. Minches of St. Louis, Missouri is credited with inventing the Ice Cream Cone. On July 23, 1904 at the World’s Fair in St. Louis, he filled a Pastry Cone with two scoops of Ice Cream to make the first Ice Cream Cone.
There is some controversy over this claim. Italo Marchiony of New York City filed a patent for the Ice Cream Cone months before the fair opened and, he was selling Lemon Ice in cones as early as 1896.
About Ice Cream Day in December: There is also a celebration of Ice Cream Day on December 13th but we found no factual information about this day.
We suspect that it evolved from some local event. Perhaps a school Ice Cream Social somehow took on an undocumented, national recognition as a special day.
History and Origin of National Ice Cram Day
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan declared July to be National Ice Cream Month and he also proclaimed the third Sunday in July as National Ice Cream Day. According to President Reagan ” Ice Cream is a fun and nutritious food that is enjoyed by over 90% of Americans.
