In case you feel like things are too serious in the world:
The International Edible Book Festival is held every year around April 1st.
“This ephemeral global banquet, in which anyone can participate, is shared by all on the internet and allows everyone to preserve and discover unique bookish nourishments. This festival is a celebration of the ingestion of culture and a way to concretely share a book.”
The festival takes place around the world so put your pun cap on and get ready for next year.
Seattle’s annual contribution, Cook the Books!, took place this past Saturday. Upwards of 100 digestible tomes were on display.
Past entries include:
The Milagro Bean Dip War
One Hundred Spears of Solitude
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Bread
The Unbearable Lightness of Bean
Remembrance of Things Pasta
Banana Karenina
