There was also 3 posts from the goat but is stuff we saw on Tuesday so I didn't bring it over. Everything is crossed for this to pop sooner than later. Happy thanks giving to everyone who celebrates. Just curious... if you have turkey today what do Americans eat at Christmas and New year. In scotland we don't have thanks giving so turkey is at Christmas for us. New year is roast or steak pie or turkey. I my how we have both steak pie and turkey at new year.

Hi BettyBoop,

 

We actually had roast today instead of turkey, but I think most people for Christmas either have turkey again, or ham. I guess it doesn't matter what you eat as long as you enjoy it, and spend the day with people you love and care about. 😀

[BETTYBOOP]

@TripleA1960 many thanks. I have often wondered about this. Was curious if you have different special meal for Christmas seeing as thanks giving is traditionally turkey

[TripleA1960]

And of course, depending on what part of this country you're from, the side dishes vary, too. I'm from the Midwest originally, and we do green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, broccoli casserole, mashed potatoes, stuffing (or dressing), and I made pumpkin cheesecake for dessert this year. I live in a southern state now, and here they do cornbread dressing instead of bread dressing, squash casserole, and a lot of things with okra, which I am not fond of! 😁

Our daughter in law is from Mexico, we are USA. We have always had some kind of Mexican food at Christmas for her. Last year the entire meal was and there is never anything wrong with Mexican food in my book.

 @cjdavid I am having a very traditional Scottish meal tonight... haggis , turnip ( neeps) and mashed potatoes. I love Mexican food.

We have Thanksgiving's 30-day old, stale, rotted, frozen & re-frozen, gurgitated & re-gurgitator leftovers every day leading up to Christmas.   Nothing but the best for the Yank's.

Thanks for that mental picture🤣🤣

Turkey and cornbread dressing is traditional, but here on the Texas Gulf coast my family does fried shrimp. Mom keeps frying until everyone is stuffed, then dessert 😄

[BETTYBOOP]

What is cornbread like. .? How is it made? Not something we have in scotland.

Uses ground cornmeal rather than white flour, plus egg and milk. Some like to add sugar or use a mix. Some bread is dense and crumbly, some is light like white bread or cake. Goes great with peas, beans, or greens.

[BETTYBOOP]

@yogaman  thanks. Never seen cornmeal here in the uk

[Sage449]

Christmas a standing rib roast or prime rib plus all the trimmins like mashed potatoes or augratin potatoes,  stuffing - cornbread or regular with oysters in the stuffing- and veggies- sides of shrimp and deviled eggs plus bourbon pecan chocolate pie. Homemade rolls like crescent or croissants. 

[BETTYBOOP]

Well here in Scotland we don't have thanks giving so atbchristmas. Most homes have a starter of soup or prawn cocktail or pate with oatcakes or toast . Then the main is  turkey with sausage or sage and onion stuffing. Sides would be mashed potatoes, carrots, parsnips, peas, sweet corn, Brussels sprouts and in our house we also have broccoli.  Some hoes will also have roast beef or ham as well as turkey. Pudding is traditionally either Christmas pudding with cream and brandy sauce or trifle . However this varies greatly as there may also be roulade or gattue. Then there is christmas cake and a cheese board with fruit and crackers.

So Frankie and the goat are reporting this....doesn't say much.  It should be easy enough to prove if true.
