October 15: National Chicken Cacciatore Day!
If anyone is following along at home, you might have noticed that October 15th is ALSO National Roasted Pheasant Day. But, this is my quest and my blog, so I chose to do Chicken Cacciatore. Phew.
Cacciatore means “hunter” in Italian (or so wikipedia tells me) so apparently chicken cacciatore is made by hunters? Somehow I doubt hunters sit around chopping peppers and herbs and simmering chicken in wine. I think the only thing that is truly “alla cacciatore” is a bag of beef jerky and trail mix.
A meal fit for a hunter?
Tomorrow: World Food Day!
I was really pulling for Roasted Pheasant Day.
Sorry
I might have tried it if someone else had made it… but I’m not about to hunt and roast a pheasant.
