Bread Pudding Recipe Exchange Day celebrates sharing bread pudding recipes with friends and neighbors. Observed annually on May 1, it is described as the beginning of Bread Pudding Recipe Exchange Week, which runs through May 7. Recipes may be sweet or savory, and the day offers a chance to swap new ideas for using bread pudding.
According to CooksInfo’s account of the holiday, the earliest mention it has located dates to 2001, when a North Carolina reference described the first week of May as an annual bread pudding recipe exchange. A later Nebraska column cited Chase’s Calendar of Events, which listed May 1–7 as National Bread Pudding Recipe Exchange Week and named a now-defunct website as its source. The holiday’s founder is not identified.
