Happy Thanksgiving! I had ordered a pre-cooked Thanksgiving meal, and picked it up today. It was supposed to be a 1-person meal. It was not. It was huge. There was more than enough for 2 people. But that didn't stop me eating most of it, and I am feeling stuffed! It consisted of some massive cuts of herb-roasted turkey, some massive cuts of honey glazed ham, garlic mashed potatoes, roasted brussel sprouts with bacon and breadcrumbs, and traditional stage stuffing - plus a dinner roll, cranberry source, American gravy and a slice of dessert (sweet cream berry biscuit). The meat was great, the sides less so. I had a choice of sides and I wonder whether I should have chosen one of the other options - I think they were candied yams and green bean casserole. Both of which are very American but very unappealing to me. I also skipped a slice of pumpkin pie - I just don't like the taste of pumpkin, which is almost sacrilegious to say to most Americans. I'm probably going to order a pre-cooked Christmas meal as well - so it will be interesting to compare the typical Thanksgiving meal with the typical Christmas meal here, because I don't know if and what the differences are.
