I made a whole thanksgiving feast from scratch in the UK!

[@joshuaayres8932]

You managed to cook a proper meal in a non traditional country for the event and you have done a better job than I have. Great job

[@occasionalcooper8814]

Thanksgiving is practically british food anyways.

[@annaburch3200]

Well done!!! I'm impressed! This was my 25th Thanksgiving, as an adult in charge, and I'm just now feeling as if I have it down, but you even made fried onions and a pumpkin pie FROM SCRATCH! Good for you!! I can tell you have a Thankful heart after all you were going through this time last year. Happy for you. 😊🦃

[@taraodonnell6054]

I'm studying in the Netherlands this semester and did not realize how much I'd miss Thanksgiving until it actually rolled around. This video felt like a hug. It was so nice to see everyone working together and enjoying each other's company. I hope you guys had the very best day! The turkey looked wonderful!

[@santiago242]

I'm a couple months behind on the vlogs 😅 but slowly catching up. All the food looked fantastic! Very happy to see all of the gang hanging (specially Luke and Bliss, my fav guests)

[@TT_09]

Green bean casserole is my favorite. On Black Friday my tired Mom used to just let us eat pumpkin pie for breakfast (with cool whip)

[@user-cz3dp]

recently been really enjoying your channel and not much else on youtube

[@Angie_King_Bens_Grandma]

All from scratch?? That's amazing! We don't ever do any of it from scratch😂😂 and we didn't even cook this year. We had Jack In The Box delivered instead.😂😂 WELL DONE!!! 🦃

[@soniaemmanouilidou1139]

you are an excellent cook

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

The cuisine looked superb! There is a KZbin channel called Kiwi Americans, a USA family which lives in New Zealand and the first year she made a Pumpkin Pie from scratch. The next year she paid a fortune for the tin because she felt the real pumpkin was not sweet enough. Personally, I am sure I would prefer the fresh one, but I suppose it is all dependent on what you are used to. Thank you for the video!

[@LiqdPT]

The type of pumpkins used for pies (I think they're called "sugar pumpkins) are not the same ones that we use for jack o'lanterns here in the US at least. So it's entirely possible they may have had the "wrong" type of pumpkin available to them for pie.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

You should add orange juice and orange zest to the cranberry relish, better yet, use blood orange. It is wonderful.

Wow, I can't believe you did everything by scratch! Even the cream of mushroom and stock? So much work! We do a lot of the big stuff homemade, but always cheat and get the store bought stock and stuff like that. Looked amazingly yummy!

Good job, thanksgiving with friends is a great way to celebrate it. Helps get everyone together.

[@jennyjenjen80]

As a British person I have only experienced Thanksgiving dinner once. A lovely American lady cooked for us. I had never had pumpkin pie or cornbread before and I adored it. The only thing the brits at the table didn't like was the marshmallows in the sweet potatoes

[@AlatheD]

I'm so happy you did this, and so happy you shared it! That was an impressive feast. I'm going to have to learn to make French fried onions if I ever want green been casserole again. The store bought ones make me sick now, and I'm not sure why.

[@johnsonburbank]

This was a lovely video.

[@ganapatikamesh]

Oh wow! My grandmothers (both paternal and maternal) would have been so excited to see you making everything from scratch! They certainly always welcomed any of their children and grandchildren who were interested in learning to come help make things. My paternal grandparents lived in another town so my sister and I usually didn’t get to learn too many holiday recipes (though we learned other recipes when visiting on nonholidays), but my maternal grandparents lived just up the block from us and so we could walk early in the morning up there to help with cooking holiday meals (plus both grandparents had the rule that those who don’t help cook and setup for the meal are the ones who help put away and clean up after the meal and my sister and I were definitely more into cooking, setting the table, etc than putting food away, cleaning up, etc....mostly because our parents worked and so when we got home from school we’d hangout with friends for an hour and then cook dinner, eat, cleanup, do homework while watching television, and then our parents would be home at 10pm; dad owned a business and mom was an assistant manager at a retail store in the mail as well as district manager assistant for the company she worked for). You did an amazing job! It all looks so yummy! Glad you got to celebrate Thanksgiving in your own home with some of those nearest and dearest to you! Thank you for sharing this experience with the world! Between this video and the New Zealand family’s video where they also cook food from scratch (second year now) to celebrate Thanksgiving (and American guests this year), it’s so great to see so many celebrating a holiday that’s an entire purpose is to have us stop briefly, remember gratitude, and celebrate that gratitude that we have. It’s not about celebrating any particular religion, culture, language, politics, ethnicity, etc. It’s a holiday about just being thankful and celebrating via whatever traditions one’s family may have (growing up one the differences in traditions between my paternal and maternal sides is that turkey and quail was eaten on the paternal side whereas ham and chicken were the main dishes on the maternal side; pecan pie was common on the maternal side along with key like pie my aunt from Florida would bring and the cajun dishes my cousins from Louisiana brought while on my paternal side apple, cherry, blueberry, and other fruit pies were common along with Amerind fried bread, fried okra, fried squash, and corn on the cob were cooked and we’d also have homemade tortillas made by my cousin from Arizona).

I always thought at thanks giving Americans are the same roast dinner that we eat at Christmas but just with pumpkin pie as desert instead of Christmas pudding ! How wrong I was :’)!! I have never even heard of green bean casserole or sweet potato casserole :’)! Maddd

Now WHY IS THANKSGIVING NOT AN OFFICIAL CELEBRATION IN THE UK!?

[@marydavis5234]

I find it weird considering, the first every Thanksgiving was Native American Indians taught pilgrims (British settlers) ,how to grow and harvest fresh fruits and vegetables.

[@eligoldman9200]

By far the best American holiday.

And yet judging by the comments, no-one seems to cook or bake for it but would rather buy takeaway.
