Whether you’re finally back stateside or marking the American celebration elsewhere, Thanksgiving dinner is undoubtedly this holiday’s main draw. While some parts are recognisable from your typical Sunday roast – think meat, potatoes and vegetable trimmings – other dishes are likely to raise a few eyebrows among large groups when served with a traditional turkey centrepiece.
Here are some of the more unique American Thanksgiving foods to try this November.
Pumpkin, apple or pecan? Whichever pie you prefer, you’ll be enjoying an authentically American dessert. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream, allowing the pie crust to soften slightly (especially if it’s been prepared ahead of time).
Don’t be afraid to use store-bought pie crust either – you’ve probably had your work cut out for you preparing all of the above anyway, and if Betty Crocker approves it, you must be good to go.
Once the feast is over, pop on a game (the NFL starts around 1am UK time, which would probably only work if you seriously misjudge your cooking timings!) and kick back in your comfiest clothes. You’ve earned it.
