Lately, every day seems to be a food holiday, where we celebrate some special dish, beverage or ingredient. But May 11th is truly special, because today you are given permission to eat whatever you want. It’s National Eat What You Want Day!
This silly foodie holiday was introduced by Thomas Roy, American film and voice actor, and his wife Ruth as a counter to all the restrictive diets that people seem to be obsessing about these days. (The couple has made up about 80 funny holidays, officially registered under Wellcat Holidays trademark.)
But on National Eat What You Want Day, everyone can relax and forget about their diets, at least today. Even if you want to keep to a healthy diet, maybe you can try something that you’ve never tasted before. Anything! The world is your oyster! Speaking of which, why not have some oysters on the half shell today?
If you don’t feel like discovering new tastes and dishes, here are American’s Top 5 preferred indulgent foods: french fries, hamburger, fried chicken, eggs, and pizza. Go ahead, dive in! Mix and match! It whatever you want, because today, you CAN, and nobody will judge.
