I just remembered that today is the American holiday of Thanksgiving. Nobody else does that holiday and no Thai people have any idea what it’s about except a few who lived there. Something about some people called pilgrims inviting some Indians to dinner I guess. I don’t know, not my history.
They eat this big chcken called a turkey. I tried it when I lived there. It’s ok. Sort of something between chicken and duck which are both popular in Thailand. And there is a lot of other stuff like potatoes with gravy and rolls and butter, etc. I don’t think most Thai people have ever seen or eaten turkey and like me they wouldn’t be able to eat much of that food, lian mak (very greasy).
I tried to find some sexy pilgrims but did not have much luck. Just that costume above which I sort of doubt looks anything like the pilgrims from hundreds of years ago. I do like the sexy Indian outfit. When I saw movies of cowboys and Indians some of the Indian girls were kind of cute and had cute outfits.
I think they ruined the outfit with the stripper shoes. Don’t the Indians wear some kind of cute little slippers? Why not those instead of the gel heels?

I think you’re right – a “traditional” American Thanksgiving meal is probably too greasy to be appetizing to Thais. I heard that the average American eats 4500 calories today. I can understand why this hasn’t become popular in Thailand. Heck, it’s too greasy to be appetizing to ME!
I’m surprised that turkey hasn’t caught on, though. I’m under the impression that it’s become pretty popular in Korea and China. Like you said, somewhere between a duck and a chicken. Goes great with kim-chee, and I’ve become quite fond of turkey green curry, which is one of our favorite uses for the leftovers.

I happen to like Turkey… Especially a big fat turkey leg. I remember some American here in Thailand tried to raise turkeys, but it didn’t go over very well.. Most Thai’s I talk to who have been to the U.S., don’t like American food very well. They say it’s too salty and too greasy… That’s cool. I don’t like Thai food. to each his own.. I don’t find the Thai’s to be great gourmets. When fish is your basic food group, what can you expect? I know Thai’s don’t understand Thanksgiving, heck, we don’t understand Loy Krathong.. Even Thai’s don’t understand Loy Krathong..

Wish I had one of those at my Thanksgiving meal.

I celebrated Thanksgiving with my family and we had lots of healthy food along with the not so healthy food. I think even Thais could enjoy a holiday where for one day a year you can just eat yourself silly. If you do it once a year it will have little adverse effects on your health, really.
Oh, and Canadians celebrate this holiday as well, but they do it sometime in October.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Songkran is my second favorite holiday.
