National Something On a Stick Day

National something on a Stick Day, celebrated on March 28 every year. There seems to be no specific historical event tied to the national start of the holiday; it's more than likely the case that an individual or group of fun-loving people are manipulating internet search results through an SEO algorithm to increase holiday legitimacy, and we don't mind! Nothing to worry about, the food on the stick is delightful. Well, we probably won't try Jeff Dunham's 'Jalapeno on a Stick', but if you're concerned about candy apples, ice cream, burgers and teriyaki chicken on a stick, today is meat day!

National Something on a Stick Day’s history

The use of sticks - wooden skewers - in the preparation and consumption of food goes back a long time. A very long way. An archaeological site in Germany contains a stick with a burnt end, showing its use in cooking meat over a fire, from 300,000 years ago, the Lower Paleolithic Age.

From the time of Ancient Greece, Homer's "Iliad" referred to the cooking of meat on skewers. In the absence of a metal grill to place over a wood fire, you should not pierce the meat with a sharp stick and hold it over the flame to grill while rotating and adjusting its height above the flame to get ideal dish. Perhaps this is the only reason this method has been around for millennia.

There is even a story, popular among medieval scholars, of Turkish soldiers during the crusades using their swords as noses to cook meat. Make it a multitasked!

So the next time you're camping and you cook your sausage at the end of a young tree branch you find, know you're in good company - humans have almost never cooked meat that way.

Observing National Something on a Stick Day

Received that the fire pit in the backyard was on fire

March 28 isn't the peak of summer, but even in temperate climates, it won't be too cold to gather the kids around a campfire to cook hot dogs and marshmallows on sticks or skewers on top fire. However, don't snap your fingers because molten marshmallows on your cheeks are never fun!

Host a shish kabob, barbecue party

Throw a dinner party around your barbecue and use the official bamboo skewers to make lamb, beef, and chicken, tofu and/or veggie dishes, in celebration of flavors over a crystal fire.

Make your own popsicles

If you don't want to invest in a dedicated ice cream maker for your freezer, with its prefabricated anti-drip handle, there's a simpler alternative - fill your regular ice trays with Kool -Aid or other sweet liquid, cover the trays with plastic wrap and insert a toothpick through the plastic into each cube, to use as a handle after hardening has taken place. Mini-pops!
