A couple of years ago I listen to a radio program , and the host was having people call in and describe what was the Thanksgiving meal... It was an example of America's "out of many ...one"
Everyone called in and I am from the descent and we have "x"..and the would list off every thing and end with a turkey ..
for Eaxmple a mexican american called in an said we have encelatas bean rice and a turkey
Being a mixture of a ancestories .. from my french canadian side do a pork sausage stuffing ...that is like a real low grade meatloaf... loaded with calories and just plain awesome... Ofcourse the green bean casarole.. and of course Potatoes.
also a tradition in brought in from the sister inlaw a mixture of various pickles ( onions , cukes olives etc...) for a pre meal snack
and of course a turkey !
what is yours
