British Highschoolers try Thanksgiving Dinner for the First Time!

[@rondacorle7920]

We hosted a Czech young man for a year. We tried explaining Thanksgiving to him and the food traditions. It didn't sink in until he - reluctantly - arrived at my aunt's house and just stared at the huge potluck feast. He suddenly was the hugest fan of American Thanksgiving. 20 years later and he's still talking about his American Thanksgiving feast. Kudos to these lovely young men trying new foods.

I’m a 70-year old American woman and I found all of these young gentlemen - hosts and headmaster included - to be absolutely adorable. They are all bright, well mannered, and articulate. Their reactions were polite yet candid. I only wish they could have had an actual Thanksgiving dinner complete with stuffing (dressing). Thanskgiving without dressing is like a day without sunshine. My family makes the dressing with day old cubes of bread, juices from the cooked turkey, celery, beaten egg, butter, turkey giblets and/or sage pork sausage pieces, and rubbed sage. We have to make double batches because it is everyone’s absolute favorite. We serve candied sweet potatoes - sliced sweet potatoes sprinkled with pecans, glazed with maple syrup and baked - no marshmallows in sight. That “Day-after-Thanksgiving Sandwich” is news to me. We heat up our leftovers for a second dinner. The turkeys being pardoned were huge! The original turkeys the American settlers found and that still roam wild today are a third that size. Of course, as the rest of the world knows, America likes to supersize EVERYTHING.

The rest was a lovely English chicken dinner, but it was as close as we homesick New Englanders got, and we truly appreciated it.

My mom made the best dish with turkey leftovers. She put pieces of turkey, a can (or fresh frozen) mixed vegetables in a glass casserole then covered it with gravy thats had time to sit overnight fusing all the flavors together creating a flavor that cannot be duplicated any other way. After she 's done with that she gets a box of Bisquick ,prepares the mix then takes heaping spoons of the biscuit mix and drops them gently on top of the casserole about 2inches apart. Then bake until biscuits are golden.Its a "turkey pot-pie casserole".
