National Rocky Road Day and National Rotisserie Chicken Day in USA

“Let’s mix that chocolate ice cream with some marshmallows,” said WIlliam. “Something’s still missing!” cried Joe. “Chocolate chunks?” “Yeah. And pass me the walnuts, will yah? Man, this is good!” And so Rocky Road was born. Its name was a play on words referring to the yummy chocolate chunks, but also the 'rocky road' that people had to walk during America's Great Depression (nestle.com).

The origin of the dessert is debated, but the earliest mention of it dates back to 1853 in Australia, where rocky road was supposedly created as a way to sell confectionery that had spoiled during the long trip from Europe, which were mixed with locally-grown nuts and cheap chocolate to disguise the flavour.

Because it's oven-roasted instead of fried or deep-fried, rotisserie chicken is much lower in calories and fat than equally convenient options such as fast-food or restaurant fried chicken. Therefore, rotisserie chicken is a much healthier choice.
