Look at that S car go!

Seems like there’s now a day (or week, or month) for pretty much everything – and today is no exception… it’s (drum roll please) National Escargot Day!
And to honor this tasty gastropod here’s a few pics of snails in all their culinary splendor:

And that’s not the only food and beverage related “day” for this week: May 25th is National Wine Day (only one day? we’ll do our best to celebrate!), Thursday the 26th is National Blueberry Cheesecake Day (that’s nothing if not specific), Friday marks National Grape Popsicle Day (now someone’s just being silly…) and on Saturday we will (very rightly) be celebrating National Hamburger Day!
Celebrate to your stomach’s content! Now back to the kitchen….
Oh… and the title of this post? It’s the punch line to an old joke that I first heard told by Graham Kerr on the “Galloping Gourmet” show (yes, I’m old enough to have seen that in it’s original run…) – I’ll leave it to you to find the set up…
