Casserole Protests

In 1971, in the country of Chile, there were shortages of many industrial products. The people first became frustrated and then angry and ultimately took to the streets. Looking to make a ruckus and not having many resources to spare, the protesters used two things that everyone had. The first was their voices. They used them in chants, songs and screams. The second item – a pot with a metal spoon.

The protest became known as a Cacerolazo (spanish for casserole) which was named after the pots. Over the years since then, additional protests have occurred in other spanish speaking countries and other parts of the world. In 2012, in the Canadian province of Quebec, students went on strike to protest tuition hikes. When the government passed a law to end the strikes, the students took to the streets with their own cacerolazo to make noise. The event became commonly known in the United States as the Casserole Protests.

The only protest with this casserole is if it is all eaten up and you haven’t had your fill!

Most of the ingredients are cheeseburger-like. I used relish in place of the pickles.
