....my mom, who's 2nd generation Italian-American, refuses to make anything Italian for Thanksgiving. My grandmother was the same way. Thanksgiving was an "All American" holiday.

 

Yeah....I was thinking sort of the same thing and I'm speaking only for myself here...

If I was dropped into a different culture with a holiday that I knew little or nothing about....I doubt I'd taint it with stuff from my own culture....certainly not at first anyway.

I'd be MUCH more interested in the tradition!

 

Anyway, it's an interesting piece!
