Pickled Peppers Month is a tongue-twister of a rather tasty event.
Will you make this a literary or food holiday month?
Let's start with literary:
How fast can you say it?
"Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?"
This poem was published in 1813 in John Harris' Peter Piper's Practical Principles of Plain and Perfect Pronunciation. You can read the entire book through Project Gutenberg at http://archive.org/stream/peterpiperspract25027gut/pg25027.txt.
And the food portion?
What are pickled peppers? Pickling has been used for centuries to preserve harvested foods long before refrigerators existed. Pickled peppers are used as a seasoning in salads, burgers, and sandwiches. October is toward the end of the pepper season in the northern hemisphere, and pickling is one way to extend the harvest.
Pickled Peppers Month is an unofficial event with no sponsor. It may be based upon the anniversary of the publishing of Peter Piper's Practical Principles in 1813; we cannot find the original title page with available resources.
