The Worldly Flavors of Thanksgiving Thanksgiving might be a distinctly American holiday, but many cultures have infused their own unique flavors into the celebration. If you have residents who immigrated from other countries, or who are first-generation Americans, now is a great time to talk to them about their own special Thanksgiving traditions. The chart below contains just a few ways that international flavors are incorporated into Thanksgiving celebrations. No matter how you choose to celebrate, we at ProMed wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving! Africa The turkey is typically heavily spiced and couscous might take the place of mashed potatoes. Collard greens with bacon is a popular side dish. China Many Chinese families celebrate Thanksgiving by going out for dim sum and choose bao, soft filled dough buns, over the traditional pumpkin pie. Roast duck is also a common dish on Chinese Thanksgiving tables. France Roasted guinea hens are a nod to the traditional cuisine of rural France. Hawaii The turkey is frequently cooked in an imu, an in-ground oven, or marinated in the Chinese Char Siu style with a marinade of red beans, honey and soy sauce. Italy The turkey stays front and center on many Italian tables, but it might be seasoned with a more traditional seasoning blend, such as juniper berries, rosemary and sage. Sausage stuffing is also popular. Mexico On many tables, a suckling pig replaces the traditional turkey. Poland In addition to turkey, many Polish families serve kielbasa, meatballs in mushroom gravy, pierogi and other favorites.
