Note: Turkey is optional. Mostly because nobody ever does it well. It is always dry and tasteless.

We're doing home made pizzas.

It is fun, and it requires little skill so everyone involved in the cooking process. Even the kids get involved to help.

Best part: Nobody spends all day slaving away in the kitchen not enjoying the holiday.

Wrap it in bacon. It was so moist we didn't need sauce.

As a vegan, I hate Thanksgiving. Hate any holiday that requires sitting and eating for more than half an hour, to be honest.

Couldn't there be a holiday where family gathers around the generational foosball table or the antique Wii? Eating is boring.

I mean you can set your own traditions.

Lord knows I did.

That's part of growing up. You realize you have to be the change you want to see.

That is more a symbol of you then being a vegetarian. But thanks for letting us know you're vegetarian. Tell me, do you use Apple or arch?

As a proud vegan, I think I can speak confidently for all vegans when I say Hanna Montana Linux, but I dual boot Temple OS.

Ooohhhh I forgot about Hannah Montana Linux. Good choice.

It's what Canada and the USA call their harvest festival. What does your country call it?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe "Herbstfest"? But more of a local thing. "Jahrmarkt" is even more local. Both are some kind of village-wide market events, the first more fall-themed (and grapes because "Weinland" switzerland) with changing locations each year.

Looks like american thanksgiving is how christmas is for us?

We have three eating holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, and they're all about the same. There's loads of Germans and Dutch up here so people keep a lot of the European traditions, and I'd say you're probably right that Thanksgiving is more like your Christmas.

Are you from another planet? Or a small tribe somewhere in the Pacific?

Every nation on the planet that plants food celebrates harvest.

[–] FridaySteve@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Wow what a shame. That's super uncommon, only a handful of countries in the world don't have a recognized harvest festival.
