Food holidays today: Banana splits and S'mores!

by Bob Sassone, Posted Aug 10th 2007 @ 7:56AM

S'mores Today is one of those days where we get two different holidays. It's National Banana Split Day and also National S'mores Day.

I've only had s'mores once in my life, I think (I guess that happens if you're not a boy scout). As for banana splits, I haven't had one of those in years, though I still remember the theme song to the TV show ("La La La, La La La La, La La La, La La La La"). Here's a recipe from Epicurious if you want to make the grahams and marshmallow from scratch. If you want to just use store bought food, take a look at the Honey Maid recipe. And if you want a variation, here are a million more recipes for s'mores.

For a banana split, try this. The Banana Split Cake sounds great too.

These two holidays actually go together, so here's your assignment: make a banana split, and put some s'mores in it. Then go for a walk or do a sit up or something.
