National Apple Pie Day celebrates the quintessential American dessert — though apple pie itself was brought to North America by English colonists, who carried the recipe from a tradition already established in medieval England and the Netherlands. International Hummus Day was created to celebrate the chickpea-and-tahini spread with more than 3,000 years of documented history in the Middle East, a culinary tradition now shared across Lebanese, Israeli, Egyptian, and Greek kitchens. National Frog Jumping Day was inspired by Mark Twain’s 1865 short story “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,” which led to the annual Calaveras County Fair frog jump competition in Angels Camp, California, still held each May. Fair Trade Day is observed in May to celebrate the fair trade movement’s impact on farmers and artisans in developing economies. A crust, a tahini swirl, a champion frog, and a fair price.
