October 25 - National Greasy Food Day

 

Happy National Greasy Food Day! Those watching the scale beware! On October 25, today is a good day to augment the diet. 

Although not the healthiest of choices, every once in a while, it is okay to enjoy some greasy food. 

From fried chicken, pizza, nachos, and French fries to bacon and hash brown potatoes, we all like a treat in our regular diet. 

 
Cooking oil types include: 

 
Olive oil – Palm oil – Soybean oil – Canola oil – Pumpkin oil – Corn oil – Sunflower oil – Safflower oil – Peanut oil – Grapeseed oil – Sesame oil – Agran oil – Rice bran oil – Other vegetable oils – Butter and lard. 

 
Oil may be flavored with aromatic flavorings such as herbs, chilies, or garlic. 

Greasy foods can be prepared with healthier oils and with much less than average amounts of oil used when cooking, making them much healthier choices. 

 
For the educators and homeschoolers, National Day Calendar® tested an assignment in our own classroom and made the material ready for you to use. 

 
HOW TO OBSERVE 

 
There are so many greasy foods to try! Which will you try first? French fries come to mind. So do onion rings. However, mozzarella sticks sound good as well. 

 
Don’t forget the dipping sauces! Indulge yourself with some greasy foods and use #GreasyFoodsDay to post on social media. 

 
HISTORY 

 
National Day Calendar® continues researching the origins of this food holiday.
