        Not everyone likes chocolate, and for the 7 people worldwide who are both deeply Christian and vegan, you can celebrate the holiday by hatching an egg.

        According to this guy, it’s a chocolate holiday. Idk what the potato is for but I would just make it more about eggs and egg dishes.

          It’s for boiling, and mashing, and sticking in a stew.

    Easter is the egg holiday. Deviled eggs, custard, cake, pie, egg salad, etc. Eggs represent fertility and renewal.

      In some countries the first (and second) of november are holidays for all saints and all soulsday. I prefer that over moving halloween.

        Porque no los dos? I think that religious/spiritual holidays like All Saints and Samhein should remain as they are, and Halloween as a secular holiday should be on a day more appropriate for partying. Fridays would also be acceptable.

          Well… if the first of november is always a holiday, halloween is always on a night suitable for partying, so you do get both.

    I’m good with changing Valentine’s Day to cheese-based holiday. It seems like the worst candy comes out for that one, like it’s all intentionally low quality. Heart-shaped Baby Bell cheeses? Hell yeah. Makes it worth the results later.

    But potatoes for Easter? We already have eggs, why are we doubling up on round things without making it “round things holiday”?

    I’m split, but willing to negotiate.

      It’s a fertility festival so round things makes sense.

      It should have more phallic and vaginallic foods though, like carrots, zucchini, butternut squash, oysters and tacos.

      We kinda have that already with halloween here. Primary and secondary schools get a week of around 31st oct and 1st nov due to them being holidays (no halloween is not a holiday here it’s a different reason) and we call them potaro holidays. I believe it’s because people tend to harvest their potatoes around that time.
