What does your PolAm family serve on Thanksgiving? Anything beyond the standard mainstream fare of turkey with sage dressing, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie?
I'm just wondering.......if you don't eat standard fare on Thanksgiving......aren't you just eating food that happens to be on Thanksgiving?
anyway, i always missed Thanksgiving when I was in Poland. Not for the food, I don't really care for typical Thanksgiving food, it was more because of the way the holiday is set up. It always lands on a Thursday which means Wednesday evening, you can go out and party somewhere with your friends (it's considered the busiest pub night in the USA) and Thursday you do nothing but sit around, watch NFL and stuff yourself. Friday is also a day off and then you still got the weekend. It's a perfect 4 day weekend every year, way better than Christmas or New Year's or Easter which never result in 4 straight days off.
