Happy thanksgiving to our friends up north!!

Do you do the whole too much turkey etc. also?

What is a traditional Canadian Thanksgiving dinner?
Does it differ much depending on where in Canada you are?

Again, be safe and enjoy

Re: happy Thanksgiving

.....right back at ya' Brent....Happy Thanksgiving.
The Canadian take is probably pretty close to entire American/North American standard...that being Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, etc.
However often people end up doing things a little differently depending on their own traditions. We do quite a few root vegetables in lieu of just the mashed potato thing. My wife does a really nice slow oven cook using yams/sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, etc, etc...its unbelievably tasty. We have a great herb garden so we gets lots of extremely fresh sage, rosemary, etc to use on the 'bird'.
My wife also does a nicely different stuffing mix...I'm not sure what it is...but damn its great.
We then get a really good bottle of red wine and make sure we all stop half way through for a second toast and a couple of minutes of just taking a break and being....well heck, thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving to you Brent and the other Iboaters!!!
All Good

Hey, thanks Brent.

In our family as well the turkey, mashed spuds, acorn squash (usually) carrotts, and moms infamous hockey puck dinner roles,
(not that shape just that hard)
and pumpkin pie.
I can hardly wait for the turkey's sleeping drug to kick in (triga?????) and my place on the couch.

HEY BP, I thought you drank white wine with fowl?????

PS, some people do ham or goose depending on tradition.

Re: happy Thanksgiving

We'll be spending Thanksgiving with our Canadian half this weekend, looking forward to it. Their dinner is pretty much the standard turkey spread, but with the Danish background, there's also pickled red cabbage and black currant sauce. Yum! Oh yeah, and don't forget the prune stuffing. I don't much go for that, eh? .
