Foreigner here who has no emotional attachment to any traditional Thanksgiving food but loves the gratitude concept of this special day.

Etiquette question:
If we invite Americans for Thanksgiving, would it be disappointing-to-offensive (pick a level) to serve a different menu? Would they need advance warning?

Menu question:
And if we did serve a non-traditional menu, what substitutions that would be more acceptable than others?

It's as offensive as a Christian serving a Seder and not serving the typical foods. [/quote]

Your ignorance is astonishing.

First off, Thanksgiving is a *secular* holiday and can be celebrated by absolutely anyone, anywhere, and at any time. A day of giving thanks: I certainly hope that has universal appeal. Stop trying to insert religion into a SECULAR holiday.

Secondly, while there may have been a scraggly-arse turkey or two at the first Thanksgiving, no you are not serving "traditional" foods at your house, unless you're also serving like venison and uncooked corn, dumbazz. You think they had Libby's freeze-dried onions on a Campbell's green bean casserole, or marshmallows on top of yams, or even mashed poatatoes with cream and butter? GTFO.

Finally, unless you are an actual Native American, you need to take several seats in yammering about the sanctity of "your" holiday, with your Irish-German or whatever ancestry. You suck.

All are welcome and all cosines are welcome on Thanksgiving, in my book. If my Indian neighbors invited me over and wanted to serve a different menu, I'd be honored to attend and to partake of delicious food. And then another time, I would invite them to a Friendsgiving meal at my house, and pass around my favorite dishes to share.[/quote]
