Re: What to make for School Thanksgiving Feast
OK, how about mini apple pies that look like mince pies? I forget the brand name but we used to get little individual apple pies in London because I didn't like the mince ones.

I also thought in the middle of the night that I could make a Yule Log, I'm not sure my talents run that far though.

Mulled wine. 
I'd love to see them kiddies hopped up on that.
OR: Christmas cake? Mmm... marzipan...

They're really easy, because if you cock up you just spread more icing sugar over it!

Re: What to make for School Thanksgiving Feast
Hi, I'm new here and actually I think I'm supposed to stay over in the Europe Section. But I saw the USA section and thought I would have a look.
If they simply want you to send in something you would traditionally have at the holidays, send in a bottle or two of Champagne. Tell them it's New Year's!
(Sorry, I'll go back to my assigned section now.
)

Re: What to make for School Thanksgiving Feast
I'm sure you make turkey in the UK. Do you have a special dressing that you make for your bird? Perhaps with oysters or chestnuts? If so, why not make that for the event instead of dessert.
While you don't celebrate TG in the UK, you do celebrate other holidays so go with one of the special desserts earmarked for those occasions. Is there a special dessert pudding?

Re: What to make for School Thanksgiving Feast
Having your kid take mince pies for a school holiday party will surely have him ostracised until...well...forever, as "that kid who brings in mince pies." They will NOT go over well with kids.
From my first holidays in the UK - I remember....wine, beer, crackers (yes! Those pull things that we really don't use here in USA, but you can find them in World Market, and our crackers are saltines...for cheese... anyhow...), spongy cakes with jams in them...how about one of those?
I doubt fruit cake will go over well either.
Apple cobbler is always nice. (When I think UK dessert, though, I think bannoffee pie!)

Re: What to make for School Thanksgiving Feast
Just remember, these are kids you're trying to impress...... Unless you want your stuff to get thrown in the garbage (been there, done that) better think on their level.

Re: What to make for School Thanksgiving Feast
Anyhow, decided Yule Log it is, who doesn't like chocolate cake rolled around chocolate butter icing, layered with chocolate butter icing. Where can it go wrong?
