Turkey. Cranberry sauce. Pumpkin Pie. Taters. Stuffing. EGG NOG (yum).

Re: 10 - 10 - 10
 

Hey all, we Canadians eat much the same as Americans, turkey and stuffing, ham, vegetables, lots of gravy. There are some differences from place to place though. Here in Newfoundland we use savoury as the herb and chopped onions in the bread dressing. We also usually boil our vegetables with salt meat, and use the liquid for making the gravy with the turkey drippings. Peas pudding is also a favourite, and for veges, we use potatoes, carrotts, cauliflour and broccoli, corn, and other root crops. We also use mustard pickles, pickled beets, and cranberry jelly. We drink a local syrup made at Purity bakery, a local company. Most of the veges are local produce, our growing season here is short, that's why our Thanksgiving is a month ahead of the American Thanksgiving. We do not exchange gifts, it's not a big shopping day here, it's a time for families to eat together and give thanks for the gifts that God has given us. Thanks to you guys for the Thnaksgiving wishes and blessings.

P.S. Pumpkin Pie isn't a favourite here in Newfoundland for dessert, it never quite caught on, although I like it.

Re: 10 - 10 - 10
 

Just wondering...........was today a big day for weddings because of the 10-10-10??

Re: 10 - 10 - 10
 

I had a Canadian coworker that always took vacation days for this weekend due to the family Thanksgiving celebration.

Re: 10 - 10 - 10
 

Sooo... are Christopher Columbus, the Pilgrims/Indians, mayflower stories big there?

Re: 10 - 10 - 10
 

Hi Hoovie,
Those stories are not big here, Canada was founded differently, although they are taught in schools as part of history. When the Mayflower came over Newfoundland was long settled. St. John's, Newfoundland is the oldest settlement in North America, Cupids, Newfoundland was established in 1610. Canada's Thanksgiving isn't as old as your though, and is more of a Thanksgiving for the blessings we have been given, the things we have, for families and friends and for the harvest.

We don't have egg nog in Newfoundland at Thanksgiving, only at Christmas. Different traditions in different parts of the country, but the main part of the feast is the same hey?

Re: 10 - 10 - 10
 

And, of course, most of all, we give thanks that we had the good fortune to be born Canadian.

Heard a stat this morning from David's Bridal that said 35,000 brides planned their wedding for 10-10-10. Don't know how accurate that is though.

Well, I did find this -

It is unknown how many thousands will marry on 10/10/10 in America, but national retailer David's Bridal reports that it had almost 40,000 couples registered for weddings on that date at stores throughout the country, including Northridge and Burbank.
