Re: Halloween
Just a warning about Thanksgiving food. It's generally been my experience that Americans just don't know any better, but they do weird things like mashed potatoes with turkey, instead of roast potatoes. And cranberry sauce with it. Sweet with savory... Bleurgh.
And they do these weird "salads", with pink stuff and marshmallow, and asparagus and bean casseroles. And cornbread. Who the heck wants cornbread.
Basically, they're good at cooking turkeys, but it's generally a B- to a good old British roast/Christmas dinner.
Just my opinion. They just don't know any better. Double so for "biscuits and gravy". That's just tasteless mush.
