Yes, I am not eating out much. Nor am I cooking much. And I am not even reading all that much about food. So, you are being subjected to lots of miscellany. And here is some: August 16 is both Bratwurst Day and National Rum Day. How do I know? My usual: American Food Holidays. For the first, click here (says American Food Holidays) and for the second, here. What's a bratwurst? Here's what Wikipedia says. Did you know that Sheboygan, Wisconsin is the "Bratwurst Capital of the World" and that Madison, WI also has a huge brat festival? Or that some call bratwurst "Wisconsin's Soul Food"? Neither did I until I used those dual wonders of academic research, google and wikipedia. Who knew? Rum, though, well, I go for Anguilla's rum. Mmmmm.
And, in case you want to order a foodie item that involves bratwurst and (non-Anguillan) rum, click here. Or, take a mojito to a brat festival. Surprise yourself. Surprise us all.
