Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the United States of America, 2012. Our modern traditional feast begins with a turkey that is stuffed, yams - often with marshmellows toasted in the oven on top, with pumpkin pies - often with a whirl of whipped cream, vegetables - in particular green beans, sometimes squash or gourds. Some people also have a ham, though I think ham is more popular at Christmas.
I have now attended some "ethnic" Thanksgiving feasts at other people's homes where Ecuadorian tamales, or Italian Lasagna, as examples, were served, and I was thinking about HUNGARIAN FOOD, and how Hungarian Americans might cook for a Thanksgiving holiday.
ARE WE 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation HUNGARIAN AMERICANS AMERICANIZED when it comes to this very American HOLIDAY? Are we adding peppers, cabbage, pork, or other popular Hungarian ingredients to our meals? WHAT ABOUT DESSERTS?!
