This year for the first time in my life I cooked a full Thanksgiving feast for some of my closest friends in Switzerland. As it was their first Thanksgiving, it was a lot of fun. And the food was delicious (finding the same ingredients as in the US was difficult, so there were some minor substitutions)! My biggest accomplishment though was ordering a turkey from a butcher who didn't speak English! And when I told my friends the story they especially liked my "Swiss German accent"!!
The menu was:
Turkey
Dressing
Mashed Potatoes & Gravy
Sweet Potato Casserole
Green Bean Casserole, and
Pumpkin Pie
Adrian, Piotr, Daniela, Jelena, & Claudia
We had our Thanksgiving feast on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. On the actual day of Thanksgiving, I met some friends after work and we went to the movies. My dinner on Thanksgiving day was a raclette pretzel on the train home from work - doesn't get more Swiss than that!
