Smigus Dyngus Day is the Monday after Easter Sunday. This Polish traditional dish is prepared with the left overs from Easter dinner. On Easter Monday, known as "wet Monday" boys will douse the girls with buckets of water. The more a girl is doused, the better the chances are of pending marriage. The girls then get their "revenge" the following day and soak the boys. I found this easy recipe by Barbara Rolek. The whole family loves this dish. Something different and packed with deep tradition.
