On April Fool's Day, people will hold a fish feast, and the host will send an invitation to the guests before the festival.
The invitation is a small fish made of colored cardboard, which is lively and chic. The dining table is decorated with green and white tablecloths, with a fish tank and exquisite fishing rods in the middle. The fishing rod is tied with a green ribbon, and the ribbon is tied with gifts for guests, such as fish-shaped handicrafts and a small basket full of candy. At the banquet, the host served dishes carefully cooked with fish as raw materials, including frying and baking.
According to the traditional custom, the host often cooks fake dishes for the guests at the banquet. Someone has described the most typical April Fool's Day menu:
The first course is salad, light green. The lettuce leaves are covered with pepper, but when the lettuce leaves are removed, the oyster cocktail will be exposed.
The second course is baked potato, which is actually sweet bread crumbs and fresh mushrooms, and ice cream covered with tomato salad. Roast chicken disguised as crab meat.
This fake vegetable feast adds a relaxed and happy holiday atmosphere. After the banquet, the host entertained the guests with candy, but the candy was not put in the fruit bowl, but in the medicine box.
For gluttonous readers, April 1 is a day worthy of attention. This day is EdibleBookFestival: the annual Book Eating Day, which is celebrated by libraries, bookstores, galleries and individual families all over the world.
April Fool's Day Book Eating Festival
1999 On Thanksgiving Day, American collector and critic Judy Hofberg met with three book artists. When the turkey was eaten with food and wine, she thought, if books are edible, what kind of books can she make? She chose the April Fool's Day of the Millennium as the first international book-eating festival, advocating that individuals and groups who love books make edible books, and publish them to websites or special places from 2 pm to 4 pm in 1 (depending on everyone's time zone), and then provide them to the five zang-organs temple at 4 pm sharp.
It is naturally humorous to set the Book Eating Festival on April 1 April Fool's Day. Unlike traditional books, which use paper and ink as raw materials, the finished products of previous book festivals used chocolate, sugar, cream, seaweed, biscuits, eggs, jelly, caviar, macaroni, various fruits and vegetables.
On this day, most edible books are made into book-like cakes. Other edible books are not so popular, but at least you can open the pages made of bread slices and kelp.
The Bible also records the story of eating books. In the book of Ezekiel in the Old Testament, God gave the prophet Ezekiel a book with mourning, sadness and lamentation written on both sides. God told Ezekiel to eat this book. After eating it, he replied, it is as sweet as honey in my mouth.
It is said that the Ethiopian emperor Monelik II chewed a few pages of scripture in his mouth whenever he felt guilty. Finally, the emperor died because of excessive use of gold.
