sup, bitch?
Another year, another holiday when America (not Canada) takes two days off of work and dedicates them to stuffing our pie hole and then trampling each other to death in an attempt to get a discounted Xbox. Meanwhile your stupid country doesn’t even have native Americans to teach your white people how to deep fry a turkey, so you’re probably working while we’re all eating until we can’t move. And then you get to hear about it all over the internet. If so, this is the thread for you. Here you can complain about America, ask questions about thanksgiving, or just talk about how your ordinary Thursday is going.

They represent America's delicious native bird, and our friendship with and subsequent conquest of the American Indians. And it doesn’t have to be roasted, you can cook it in many ways.

The difference is this thread is by Americans who can be like lol our stupid Turkeys and Footballs are still more important than Other Country. Any Zimbabweans want to ask about the origin of cranberry?

A symbol of the American ignorance that resonates throughout their culture.

It's a bird named after a country in yet another case of "they all look the same to me", shared with people they call Indians who aren't Indians, a people they later killed or enslaved and no longer invite to the table, all in non ironic celebration of what they're thankful for.

It's always on a Thursday so lots of people get four day weekends while a bunch of other people have to work Black Friday in a room that smells like flop sweat and gravy farts.

You don't get any presents on Thanksgiving

You are still supposed to eat a big rear end "dinner" at 4 PM though

Thanksgiving kind of sounds like torture.
Like, "church at Sunday" torture.

Two days off from work does sound appealing though.
Alas, that snow won't shovel itself.

It depends on who you spend it with. It's just a bunch of people getting together for a big dinner. Usually those people are family, but sometimes groups of friends do it.

That was a few years ago when it was a fresh import and people probably thought the craziness surrounding it in the US was license to be idiots with it over here, people quickly realised it was ridiculous and people have behaved a lot better since then.

tbqh a free for all brawl for prizes and a big feast with the family sound nice, but it would make a lot more sense to put the brawl before the feast, I mean has any of you gotten in a fist fight after an all you can eat chinese buffet? You don't exactly fight at full strength, and puking on the other dude, while fun and effective, is rather messy.

Nah, it’s good unless your family is awful and you can’t stand being with them. Instead of working you sit around all day watching tv and drinking beer until it’s time to eat.

Try frying a turkey right from the freezer, it comes out really good. Put your head directly over the fryer to smell the goodness when you plunge it in.

If you’re going to put one of the several sauces or gravies available on it, you’re going to want to go with the white meat. If you’re eating it straight up, dark meat has better flavor.
