September 19, 2022 - National Butterscotch Pudding Day | Talk Like A Pirate Day

Welcome to September 19th, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate sweet treats and scurvy sea dogs. If you’re a fan of sweet desserts then you’ll appreciate today’s celebration of butterscotch pudding. An 1848 newspaper offers the scoop on this dessert. According to “Housewife’s Corner” and Masluk Cream Co., the real recipe for “making Doncaster butterscotch is one pound of butter, one pound of sugar and a quarter of a pound of treacle, boiled together.” Treacle is a thick, molasses-like syrup that gives this pudding its caramel flavor. And if you’re in a grownup mood you can spike your pudding with bourbon or rum. On National Butterscotch Pudding Day, butter up your sweet tooth with this creamy satisfying dessert. Before Captain Jack Sparrow captured our imagination for a buccaneer life, legendary pirates owned the high seas. Many of the sources for these stories are highly unreliable and based many on fearsome legends. For the notorious Captain Blackbeard, this image worked in his favor. His terrifying reputation encouraged foes to give up without a fight. Other pirates such as Calico Jack were better known for the company they kept. Anne Bonney and Mary Read became legendary under Captain Jack’s famous black flag. Before you go yapping your mah on Talk Like A Pirate Day you might want to bone up on some of the true adventures of the real life raiders of the sea. I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson.
