And what about the foods that've become associated with various Feasts, like the oysters or scallops on St. James's Day, the pancakes and various fried breads of Shrovetide, the pretzels and meatless soups of Lent, the fava beans and sfinge of St. Joseph's Day, the Kings Cake of the Epiphany, the crepes on Candlemas, the lamb on Easter, the goose of Martinmas (and Michaelmas), the apples and blackberries of Michaelmas, the cookies and breads shaped like bones for the Days of the Dead, etc.?

So now that we've had that yummy Indian food, we're ready for another night on the town. With that said, we absolutely must recommend that you drink some nice Trappist beer, brewed by real Trappist monks from Belgium:

Of course, if you're going to have some wine, you're also going to need some cheese. For that, you can look no further than the handy Cheese and Wine Pairing Guide.

Yes! Olive oil should be a major part of any Catholic's diet. You should dribble some olive oil onto your plate, sprinkle some fresh basil and parmesan cheese over it, and then use that as sort of a "dip" for your bread.
