National Clam Chowder Day celebrates this popular broth; often made from clams, onion and potato, recipes vary by region and by country. How do you like yours? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/clam-chowder-day/Open That Bottle Night Since the millennium, one night in the dull, dark month of February has been immeasurably brightened for wine-lovers by the creation of a special day to celebrate cherished bottles of wine, champagne and spirits. Open That Bottle Night is dedicated to making sure that those bottles of fine wine put away for a special occasion, are used and enjoyed. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/open-that-bottle-night/
Chocolate Covered Peanuts Day hen it comes to the crunch, Chocolate-Covered Peanuts Day is a great reason to celebrate a popular sweet treat. Dipping nuts and fruit into chocolate became popular from the 19th century onwards. However, the first nuts covered in chocolate were sold commercially in America in 1925, with Goobers being the oldest brand. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/chocolate-covered-peanuts-day/
World Sword Swallowers Day Dangerous, exciting and alluring, Sword Swallowers Day showcases the art of sword swallowing.
