Thanksgiving au Guadeloupe
So I almost missed Thanksgiving this year because it was so early calendar wise. Without all the cues I would have had at home, I expected Thanksgiving to fall the week of November 25th. Luckily I realized, and was able to hook up with a few other assistants to plan a Thanksgiving on Guadeloupe.
Now cooking Thanksgiving dinner on the island was definitely an adventure. I wasn’t able to find little things like, sage, poultry seasoning, cheddar cheese, and oh yeah - a turkey. There are no turkeys available until Christmas time so I bought the biggest bird I saw at the store. This turned out to be a rooster (laugh if you will), but I put it in a brine and it cooked up just fine. Apart from our Thanksgiving rooster we had: fried chicken wings, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, cornbread dressing, green bean casserole, pasta salad, green salad and apple pie. The French people involved seemed to really enjoy the meal and it was fun to recount our holiday traditions and the “legend” of the first Thanksgiving. It was a great night and I think all us Americans felt a little bit at home.
