[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 9812325, member: 7026594"] Turkey is synonymous with Thanksgiving in the US. Some folks also have it for Christmas. The Chinese food and a movie thing is an urban minority, originally mostly Jewish folks and some non-religious, or people living far from their family who got in on a good idea. Most of us still do big feasts for Christmas with one or more roasts and lots of side dishes, very similar to Thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving we had: [LIST] [*]Roast turkey, [*]Korean-seasoned roast pork loin with onions and apples, [*]split and braised lamb breast with mushrooms, [*]vegan holiday roast for the vegetarian guest roasted with carrots and potatoes, [*]traditional turkey gravy, [*]vegetarian mushroom gravy, [*]glazed baby carrots, [*]homemade cranberry sauce, [*]seasoned rice, [*]a big tray of traditional turkey bread stuffing, [*]another big tray of French Canadian-style pork stuffing, [*]a big tray of classic green bean casserole, [*]a pot of seasoned rice, [*]a baguette, [*]mashed potatoes, [*]a big tray of au gratin potatoes, [*]and the turkey giblets (heart and liver) in their own dish for those who like them. [/LIST] Dessert was a pumpkin pie, a pecan pie, and a tray of brownies. For comparison, last Christmas we had a smaller gathering, and had: [LIST] [*]Roast chicken with creamer potatoes and carrots [*]Vegan field roast with potatoes, onions and carrots [*]Beef prime rib roast with creamer potatoes and carrots [*]Salad [*]Saffron rice [*]Raspberry turnovers for dessert. [/LIST] That one was kind of small, for our family. Not much bigger than the weekly feasts my mother, brother and I have (occasionally with a guest or two). Yeah, it does make sense. I still appreciate efforts to commemorate our NA forebears and acknowledge all the history. [/QUOTE]
