National Crown Roast of Pork Day is celebrated every year on March 7. The day is known thus as a special pork dish that is prepared and eaten on the day. Why is the dish called ‘Crown Roast’? The dish is so named as it resembles a crown when placed on the table for serving. The pork loin meat is arranged in a circle with the ribs pointing upwards with some frills at the bones’ end, giving it the appearance of a crown. When placed as the centerpiece, the meal has a dash of regality to it. More than the taste or the preparation, it is the unique presentation of the dish that marks the day as a special one.
Plant Power Day
Plant Power Day is celebrated every March 7 to raise awareness about the benefits of sustainable eating and encourage everyone to embrace plant-based diets. Did you know Plant Power Day was launched by Alpro and BOSH!? Plant-based diets have different meanings depending on the individual. A plant-based diet may be entirely vegan — no animal-derived products — consisting mainly of plant foods, or is made up of whole plant foods that are minimally processed. While a plant-based diet has been an option for many people for ages, it’s not until recently that it gained mainstream attention with people embracing it as a lifestyle.
Alexander Graham Bell Day
Alexander Graham Bell Day is celebrated on March 7 every year. It was on this day that Bell was granted a patent for “transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically,” and on March 10, Bell made the now iconic statement, “Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you,” through a transmitter. His assistant Thomas Watson, who was in the next room, received the ‘call’ and heard the voice clearly — thus, the first telephone call was made. In honor of the day, he was granted the patent, people around the world celebrate March 7 as a day of innovation and invention. The holiday is recognized by an official act of the legislature in Nova Scotia, Canada.
