It’s no coincidence that I chose to visit my family in the US over Thanksgiving, the only major holiday where eating takes center stage, giving thanks for being a bunch of total greedy foodface stuffing fatties. After 4 years of Argentine-styled Thanksgivings, it was time to celebrate authentic American food traditions, feasting until you can feast no more, watching holiday themed movie comedies on TBS, feasting some more, watching more TV, and then annihilating the leftovers. Nothing like a homemade feast and gaining 5 pounds in one weekend to really make my USA trip worthwhile!If you are unfamiliar with Thanksgiving, here’s a little peak (with recipes) into what we had on our Thanksgiving table:
