Turkey, Stuffing, mashed tatters, cranberry sauce and what
I thought with such a diverse community I would get the different styles of foods that we all call Thanksgiving, So Turkey, Stuffing, mashed tatters, cranberry sauce and what, please list pies separate, heres another one. Do other country's have thanksgiving around the same time is us ?
Peace

Well no, John, in fact I wouldn't have known it was Thanksgiving if I didn't come on here so often.
It seems like the meal you have is identical to our Christmas one (but minus the brussle sprouts, which we have to start cooking in November to make sure they're done D). Personally I'm not big on stuffing myself with food, I'm more of an 'eat to live' sort of a girl :) so I find these binges a bit of a chore and if we had a 'Thanksgiving Day' in England I'd like it after Christmas so I can say "Thank goodness that's over for another year" Scroogonymph!

We had the family at our place this year. I had two full plates of food and still didn't experience the full gammit of entre's. There were several dishes from the "cooking channel" and a few new recipes from magazines.
But nothing beats the traditional hand made cooking that dear ol' mom and Grandma would make. My wife made a special effort to learn and log these recipies for our own kids over the years.
That would be cool though if the world all celebrated Thanksgiving at once and we all passed around deviled eggs, stuffed cellery, and turkey legs.

Duane is right ... Traditional is best !
IMO today's world is way to fast and much of the meaning of Thanksgiving has been lost...
When I was growing up we always had Thanksgiving out at my Great Grandmothers farm in Kansas... The relatives would all gather from near and far and always totaled around a hundred in strenth ...
It started long before Thanksgiving day though ... All the food (except the meat) was either grown right there on the farm or at one of the relatives places ... We all pitched in and harvested the apples, pears, wild sand plums, green beans, potatoes, beets, carrots, peas, squash, pumkins and all the other goodies ... We milked the two cows and used the cream seperator to make our own cream to whip for the pies ... We also churned some of it into the best tasting butter on Earth !
The ham was always grown, butchered, smoked and cured right there on the farm and we always hunted wild game for the table ... Pheasant, Quail, Dove, Prairie Chicken, Duck and a Goose.
One of my uncles always brought a big Tom Turkey from Missouri ... and not one of those store bought steroid injected birds either !
I can still smell the auroma's coming from that old country kitchen to this day ...
There were always tons of pies ... (my favorites were Squash, Mincemeat and Pecan) ... and Cherry ... and Apple .. and ..
Darn it John... now my mouth is watering ! ... :)

I'm totally drooling guys, c'mon now-------------!!
Here in the new world, Thanksgiving is something we do when we wake up in the morning after a hard night------------------------------lol
We have a day called Waitangi Day, which commemorates us wresting the land from the indigenous tribes of Maori ,who inhabited NNew Zealand (Aoteoroa)
They were fierce fighters---- so the colonists used enemy tribes to fight each other giving muskets to one tribe who would then go and wipe out the neighbours!
Waitangi Day is in summer so it's seafood, cold cuts, salads, and lots of beer, with pomp ceremony and political protests( by the Maori)
