Thanksgiving is a purely American holiday, but celebration of the harvest occurs in almost ever culture. Found an interesting note on the web about what would an Italian ex-patriot might try as their Thanksgiving menu in order to get in the spirtit. The dishes listed have embeded recipes links. Here is how it might look:
Every family of Italian heritage has different culinary traditions to celebrate the holiday. An Italian Thanksgiving dinner might include
ravioli con la zucca (pumpkin ravioli),
tacchinella alla melagrana (roast turkey basted with pomegranate sauce and served with a pomegranate-and-giblet gravy),
sweet Italian turkey sausage and mozzarella stuffing,
baked sweet potatoes with lime and ginger, and even
Italian cakes and pastries. What matters most, though, during La Festa del Ringraziamento isn't what ingredients are used, or who won the football game, but the opportunity for families and communities to come together and celebrate the season in a tradition that's timeless.
No matter what you fix or eat, have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Be safe if you are traveling.
