Question of the Day, November 25, 2010

Tololololling Americans about it--i mean, well, being an Aussie we don't celebrate it, but i imagin if we did, it'd be the potato or the sweet potato for me.

Well being Canadian, I already had my Thanksgiving (ya'll are late!), so I have to say the turkey was the important part. A dry bird can wreck a meal, gotta have that bird nice and moist for it to be a good holiday.

 

[Jedamethis]

To be honest none of that sounds very tasty. Apart from maybe the gravy...

What is the point of Thanksgiving?

I'm British so all I understand is that you give thanks to err... Someone, I guess.

Americans give thanks for the Native Indians being so easy to vacate from their land.

*Insert witty remark about slavery also*

The stuffing is basically like... Um... I know it's bread and herbs and stuff like that... BUt the break is... Damp-ish?

Hard to explain properly, but it's bloody delicious!

Don't forget they were French and British back then

I'm Irish, so I'm totally to blame for any of that. Hell we thought we were getting away from the famine and disease and pverty and then they slapped shackles on us when we got there

 

[tharglet]

Nor did you read the question properly .

That would have something to do with the fact the forum post is not shown next to the poll. Hrm.

Mashed Potatoes. Just...so...good...

Though my real favorite part of thanksgiving is the week after. Left over week. Just go into the fridge and make yourself a sandwich comprised of a roll, turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and gravy. Followed by some good ol' pie of course.

 

[Sebenko]

What is this, I don't even.

I'm from the great and glorious nation of the United Kingdom, and we don't do thanksgiving.

Seems a bit silly to me, really.

I'm British so I don't celebrate today (nevertheless, Happy Thanksgiving to all those that do ). But that's not too different from what my family has for Christmas dinner, albeit we don't have mashed potato, but roasted instead, and the sweet potato is replaced with roasted parsnip. Anyway, bearing that in mind my favourite would have to be the stuffing. Seriously, I just love stuffing so much, I always fill my plate with stuffing balls every time I go to the local pub for a carvery meal .

 

[HK_01]

Other - no Thanksgiving where I live.

 

[superdavo]

I voted other as I'm also British. However, My favourite part of Christmas Dinner has got to be pigs in blankets (chipolata sausages wrapped in bacon) or devils on horseback (prunes wrapped in bacon.

They are AMAZING!

 

[FrostyChick]

Well, I'm English so I don't do Thanks giving, I celebrate my birthday instead

If I had to chose though I would go for the stuffing. My nan's turkey stuffing is the best and I could just eat that and forget the rest for all I care.

Same here!
OT: Well I'm a Brit so no turkey for me. xP

 

[tautologico]

In Brazil there's no thanksgiving, but we eat turkey on Christmas Eve.

 

[Warrior Irme]

When I was younger my family didn't much care for the effort of making a whole thanksgiving meal when we weren't all that fond of the dishes typically associated with it. So I do nachos on Thanksgiving now.

 

[ViperC]

Well, does leftovers count as "Other"? If so then that, if not then the turkey.
