Will do!--It's likely to be the traditional turkey, potatoes, veggies, pumpkin pie etc
My contribution to the dinner I'm attending later this afternoon is supposed to be cranberry sauce. I've got the cranberries..so I guess what I'll do is check out several different cookbooks to see if there is a "consensus" recipe (I've never made this before, but have been told it's impossible to screw up!)

How are the potatoes served? In the UK for such a meal we would usually have roasted potatoes.

We had turkey, mashed potatoes, salad, two kinds of stuffing, brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce, chocolate pie, flan, pumpkin pie, marionberry pie, and lots of wine.
Roasted potatoes would have been great!
It was a dismal day here in the great USA Northwest yesterday--pouring rain. A couple of hours before I needed to leave, I got a paper cut and could not stop the bleeding--googled and someone said to try cornstarch, which actually did work, after about half an hour--then I needed to walk 1/2 mile to the busstop, got almost there and then wondered whether I'd turned the stove off, so went back home (I had) then ran back to the bus stop, carrying all my cranberry sauce and wine--plus umbrella plus bandage on my finger to keep the cornstarch in place --I did make it!

Dinners like yours are a very good argument for introducing Thanksgiving into the British calendar! :smile: I'd never heard of marionberries before. Bet they're delicious!

I just had turkey (I don't eat much). I wish turkey wasn't the main course as I think it's tasteless, and at the first Thanksgiving the main course was lobster.

I wonder if a free range organic turkey would have more flavour? I've never had enough money to find out.

marionberries--see link below

The conviviality at the dinner was great. Turkey could have been better--in my experience, getting fresh rather than frozen turkeys makes for more flavor.
Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday--way more so than Christmas.

Sorry about the pop-up--I had gotten redirected to the link above from another, and so this didn't happen on my screen. Forgivez-moi, s'il vous plait.
