To eat and give thanks for family and friends... oh and to watch American football

Thanksgiving is also great for getting in the naptime that so many need, turkey is good for that... when its coupled with dessert, football and... food. Lol.

And when do you celebrate it?
And do you eat Turkey for Xmas too?

Next Thursday, actually!:) Turkey is traditional, but I know a lot of people who make a ham, instead. I think its mostly choice, really. As for Christmas we usually get a turkey breast instead of a whole one.

In my family we each beef at christmas or Italian foods

Red meat is awesome... any good holiday recipes?

We go for traditional HUGE Turkey meal for Xmas.

We start with Soup, Lasagne, Turkey - potatoes and veg, then sweets and lots of liquor ;)

Then all stuffed on the sofa lol

o_o That sounds good.

Chicken Parm then beef tenderloin with all the fixins... lots of desserts and drinks. Gaining weight just thinking about it

What's a traditional American dish?

What dishes are popular over where you are at?:)

Thanks for that :)

Well, popular foods here are PASTA, all kinds of pasta with different sauces, such a red sauces or cream sauces, with meats or fish etc.

We love our steak here too.
My favorite restaurant in Malta believe it or not is :- Buffalo Bills ;)

Traditional maltese food is, baked pasta, very very good. Only Malta does it ;)
And also we have amazing maltese bread, for lunch in summer this is awesome. We sliced the maltese bread, smear a fresh tomato on it, add the pieces of tomatoes, add oil, salt n pepper, olives and capers.. and its easy and so tasty. Sometimes we can add tuna.

You ladies have been passing that flask and talking ALL morning, Do you think this is a Holiday? Pass that flask this way will you?
