Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the U.S.A. from your neighbours to the north (we had ours on October 11, 2010)! Enjoy! :D

Happy Thanksgiving! And thanks to our Canadian friends for the warm wishes! What's a traditional Canadian Thanksgiving dinner? Same as here?

What's everybody making? I've been cooking all day today and will half the day tomorrow. Poor birds are getting as much attention as usual today.

Here's our menu
orange brined turkey breast
cornbread dressing
mashed potatoes
green bean casserole
fresh orange cranberry sauce
mashed butternut squash
rolls
pecan pie
pumpkin pie
chopped apple cake
banoffee pie

I think that's it. I love to hear what everybody makes differently in different regions!

I think every family has their own little traditions when it comes to food.

Our menu is:

Turkey
Mom's hand made stuffing
Mashed potatoes
rolls
corn salad
cucumbers with sour cream (I think that's just my family :P)
Meat pie
red jello (with the meal)
fresh cranberry sauce
gravy
Apple Pie
pumpkin pie
peach bread pudding

And lots of wine.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow american forum members.

Melisa and zazanomore, can we all come over for dinner tomorrow - everything sounds so good.

And, Melisa, our Thanksgiving dinner is similar to the american version. Usually turkey, potatoes, veggies, stuffing, cranberry sauce, etc.
