Oddly enough, the British food magazines I have subscriptions to (Good Food and Delicious), as well as Nigella Lawson, have been pushing Thanksgiving food and traditions for several years now. There’s something about American culture that just fascinates other cultures...
Am Australian, btw.. but I adore the Thanksgiving tradition, which we don’t have in Australia, since it is unique to American *history*. — Besides, it is *almost* summer now here (reverse seasons as you know, southern hemisphere). So, Thanksgiving, unlike what I’ve experienced in the US, isn’t a prelude to Christmas here.
But, my husband is an American, and we always observe Thanksgiving here with certain (American or part American families).
Happy Thanksgiving!
