I am amazed No talk about the biggest food even of the year. Where are the chefs??? I'm looking for regional family recipes. What do yall [suthern for you all] fix on the T-Day?

Canada had their Thanksgiving a couple of weeks ago, I believe.
Now - the biggest event of the year in Scotland is Hogmanay... probably followed by Christmas, Burns' Night and St Andrew's Night. Multiple chances to have a real 'blow-out' feast

DugDbold said:Okay, I realize this is off topic... but.. what exaclty is Haggis? Have heard it mentioned forever but never met anyone who actually had eaten it.
Ishbel said:You've obviously met very few Scottish people then, as it is a staple of our diet. I don't want to hijack your Thanksgiving thread - but you may be interested to read a little more about haggis on the MacSween's site - MacS makes the best commercially available haggis in Scotland - they even make vegetarian types. http://www.macsween.co.uk/homepage.htm

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving Day in Italy either, but probably I will make some pumpkin pies... I introduced it to Cris and his family and friends around the time of Thanksgiving last year just for fun, and everyone loved it!!
