Food for thought : Why foodies should look forward to holidays

Monday, March 9th, 2009

It’s a truth worldwide – no celebration is ever complete without food. And it’s not strange therefore that most festivals – religious, social, political or whatever its genre might be has the concept of a principal food attached to it.

A further testimonial to this is the fact that almost every social group across geographical locations has some festival that corresponds to its principle harvest. A major reason why Canada should have a separate Thanksgiving Day, apart from the traditional historical stories of origin of the holiday, is the overriding speculation that the country had its harvest at a close but separate period of time.
