In 1968 my mother celebrated Thanksgiving in Scotland over a meal of chicken and brussel
sprouts cooked by a nun at Hamilton College, where she was an exchange student. It was the only meat and greens they
could find! So, if you’re an American abroad right now, how are you celebrating Thanksgiving overseas? Or maybe you are
not celebrating at all? Here’s a quick roundup of some posts we’ve found about experiencing Thanksgiving in other
countries or with the influences of other cultures: Russell Johnson at the Connected Traveler shares a story about
cold turkey in Germany and the Shanghaiist
offers suggestions on how to celebrate in
China. And from around the Weblogs Inc. network: Slashfood points to
Sub Rosa’s East Indian inspired holiday
meal and Blogging Baby’s Karen Walrond wonders how to
acknowledge the holiday without cooking turkey in Trinidad.
