Shot Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Makro has some turkeys too. However, the day I was there they were all about 8kg (that's about 18lbs to us Yanks). Too big for my oven. Edited November 22, 2013 by Shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomadJoe Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 A couple of the US Navy League members are putting on dinners. From the email I got: The USA traditional Thanksgiving is fast approaching, Thursday 28th NovWhat does it mean to most Americans: Family, friends, gatherer together with Turkey surrounded by mountains of different food dishes. It is a time to be thankful for the bounty in our lives. Two of the NLP members are hosting the traditional Dinners at their locations and I encourage everyone to join. Please plan to attend one or both feast being prepared for this very special day of food and friends. Stoned Crab Pub in Rawai owned by Peter Gold and family have planned a long list of dishes for the event Thanksgiving dinner at the Stoned Crab Pub, https://www.facebook.com/TheStonedCrabPub, Sai Yuan Road, in Rawai. Thanksgiving day, November 28, 5 PM until it's all gone. Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, corn bread, Cranberry sauce, green beans, and pumpkin pie all for 250 b. per plate. Come hungry! Joys café in Patong is once again firing up the kitchen for a Thanksgiving feast for all. Starting at 7pm for 795 B all you can eat, call 076 344770 for details or reserve a table..see attached flyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenBravo Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 thanks for the dinner whats this? santa food? another american thing? The first Thanksgiving was when the local Native Americans kept the original pilgrims alive by bringing them food and showing them how to live off the land during a hard winter. We all know how the Native Americans were eventually paid back......... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not denying any of it, Just we don't have a holiday thanking people one day and slaughtering them the next. Don't forget, the Pilgrims were English.

"We all know how the Native Americans were eventually paid back........." Yes, Pilgrims English, Robin Williams has a hilariously funny diatribe on how the original settlers were too prude for the English, thus the right wing bible thumping nightmare in America. And it's not a celebration of a slaughter of people, it's a celebration of family and friends. Edited November 23, 2013 by grumpyoldman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenBravo Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Yes, I do know that it's not a celebration of a slaughter. The meaning of the holiday has changed from thanking the Native Americans that kept the pilgrims alive.to thanks for a bountiful harvest to thanks for all blessings. Still doesn't change the irony of the first purpose of the holiday. You don't get to have the largest empire the world has ever seen without doing some pretty despicable things, but, in the plus column, it's the only empire that was mostly given back to it's constituent peoples willingly with relatively little blood-shed (compared to the French, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese).

steelepulse Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Stoned Crab will be good if want just one plate, but I don't know of too many people to ever only eat one plate on Thanksgiving, not even people on diets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errrm no.......Russian actually. Seems like some of the places you could have a Thanksgiving dinner in Patong are no longer there. Big Bill's Deli for one. Paradise Bar is another, though that has been gone for years. You might want to check the Expat Hotel. It's a long shot, but, worth a look.

AlanL1275 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 For anyone looking for a Holiday Season lunch or dinner. Foodland's, Took Lae Dee restaurants, will be offering a great looking turkey meal. It will have US Turkey, Giblet Gravy, Stuffing, Cranberry Jelly, Sweet Corn, Buttered New Potatoes, and Baby Carrots. Cost is 199 baht. I even heard possibly Apple Pie. If you haven't eaten at Took Lae Dee, they do have pretty darn good food, and a family atmosphere. This meal has been put together by an American Chef whom works for Took Lae Dee. November 28, Thanksgiving. December 24, Christmas Eve, late afternoon. December 25, Christmas Day, beginning with Lunch. Bon Appetit, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
