Weird food associatons

Do you have any dishes that you think of seasonally that aren't actually tied to that season or holiday?

This comes to mind because as St. Patrick's Day approaches, I keep thinking about how it's time to make galumbki, which are Polish stuffed cabbages. The only tie-in to St. Patty's is that when I was a kid, that was one of the few times a year my mother could get big cabbages with enough large leaves to make the cabbage rolls. At other times of the year, it was pretty hit-or-miss, but when it was corned beef and cabbage season, the cabbages were better for the galumbki. Or so she said.

So now is the time I start thinking about making that dish.

You got any of these weird food associations?
