World Pasta: Delicious Pasta

Holidays Dept: Oct. 25 is World Pasta Day, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Most of these holidays are the result of some promotional push. We suspect that Prune Breakfast Month January, in case you're wondering was created by a prune marketing board rather than by a spontaneous uprising of grassroots prune lovers. But World Pasta Day, which started in Rome in 1995, feels like a genuinely popular event. After all, who doesn't love pasta and delicious pasta will grave tables around the globe tomorrow as World Pasta Day is celebrated with a toss of the sauce. BOB FILA / CHICAGO TRIBUNE / MCT The calendar is crammed with all sorts of dubious food holidays. Sept. 9 is Wienerschnitzel Day. April 20 is Lima Bean Respect Day. March 28 is Something on a Stick Day. TV Dinner Day falls on Sept. 10. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
