Food and Culture in the USA-Thanksgiving and Holiday Dinners

Thanksgiving is always held on the fourth Thursday in November to celebrate the fall (autumn) harvest. The centerpiece of the dinner is still generally a roast turkey. Other holiday dinners may feature roast beef, a ham roast, leg of lamb, fish or shellfish, depending on a family’s background and where they live.
Traditional Thanksgiving side dishes include stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, cranberry sauce, rolls and a couple of other vegetables. Pumpkin pie is the traditional Thanksgiving dessert, along with various other pies, including apple, which can be made with fruits from the fall harvest.
