Thanksgiving food advice
Hi everyone!
I'll be visiting my American girlfriend for Thanksgiving and it was suggested that I make something British as part of dinner. Anyone have any suggestions for it? My mind goes straight to pigs in blankets but trying to get a decent sausage is a nightmare, never mind a cocktail sausage (as a side note, if anybody knows anywhere along the I-95 between Boston MA and Grey, ME that makes a good British sausage, I will be eternally grateful!
Any suggestions on things to cook are greatly received

Toad in the hole.
Cornish pasty! If you can make a Cornish pasty I will be around your house for dinner on Thanksgiving!

I usually contribute Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, sausages wrapped in bacon (I use either a local Supermarket breakfast sausage, or the Johnsonville regular breakfast sausages) and a pavlova, to our Friendsgiving.

You could make your own sausages, you need to buy a bit of gear at first but they're easy to make and there are infinite varieties you could concoct!

Stop this sausage madness at once. Unless you know an ex Brit who has a butchers shop or the sausages are directly imported from the UK you will end up disappointed. It is the same in Canada and believe me I have tried a few which have tried to pass off Cumberland sausages.

Roast potatoes. It's now a staple part of Thanksgiving dinner for our family.
Unless you'd normally eat Yorkshire pudding with turkey in England, I wouldn't recommend it here.

Jack, there's a shop in Newburyport, MA called "Best of British" (exit 57 off I-95), they have british and irish sausages!

Why not Yorkshire pudding on Thanksgiving? We have dinner rolls or biscuits at the table on Thanksgiving. Isn't a Yorkshire pudding much like a popover made in the US but hollow?
