Mett is in the air

Status: 23.01.23

Rose petals are scattered on the floor, candles provide a cosy light and soft music plays in the background.

Most people think of Valentine's Day when they think of 14 February. But there is another important day on this date: World Meat Roll Day! Why don't you treat your partner to a nice sandwich and have a relaxing day together?

World Meat Loaf Day: Seriously?

Yes!

The curious holiday has been held every year on 14 February since 2018 at the latest. Unfortunately, it is not known who exactly is responsible for the creation of this day. The Facebook page for this event appeared at the beginning of 2017. Unfortunately, we can't answer why the day of the Mettbrötchen falls on Valentine's Day of all days.

We only have one request: keep your mince pies and onions well wrapped when travelling by bus or train. Otherwise the ventilation systems will be overwhelmed.

Vegan spread made easy

How about a vegan alternative as a sign of love? Here's our favourite recipe for the spread.

You need:

  • 100 grams of rice cakes
  • 2 onions
  • Fresh garlic
  • Tomato puree
  • paprika powder
  • salt
  • pepper
  • Water or vegetable stock

Preparation

Simply crumble the rice cakes into small pieces and mix with the liquid. The consistency should be creamy and not too runny. Finely chop the onions and garlic and add to the mixture. Then add the tomato purée for colour and season to taste.

Leave the spread to infuse for at least 2-3 hours, preferably overnight. Enjoy your meal!
