[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well Thanksgiving food is going to be pretty much overwhelmingly English flavors, aka rosemary, thyme, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. because that's what the pilgrims ate.

You can do your own thing on Thanksgiving and have ssambap for example, but it's not going to be Thanksgiving food.  just like you could celebrate Cinco de Mayo with beef lo mein or St Patricks Day with injera but it's not gonna really be the holiday.

But... make whatever you want.  If you like this food so much you should probably already have a list of go-to recipes from these places, so I'm not gonna post my go-tos.  Treat it like a normal Thursday if you're going this route. [/quote]

Literally none of the flavors you posted are English. Rosemary is mediterranean.  Thyme is mediterranean and North African.  Cinnamon is South Asian. Nutmeg is Asian.   The pilgrims did not eat that stuff. They ate what the native Americans ate.  Your eurocentric view of the world and history is so limited[/quote]

[b]Actually these are the most traditional English flavors and seasonings.  The holiday was started by the pilgrims, and the dishes reflect it.

But by all means, no one will care at all if you dont do a Thanksgiving and put out some lo mein and go to town.  No one will care. Literally no one.  It just wont be a Thanksgiving feast.  But whatever.  Do you. [/quote]

These are not “traditional” British. These seasonings are from the Imperial colonies.[/quote]

Doesn't matter. They've been widely used in British cooking for hundreds and hundreds of years.  Those flavor combos are quintessentially English, just the way tomatoes and mozzarella is quintessentially Italian despite tomatoes coming from Central America.[/quote]
