Turkey and dressing lunch/dinner in Pattaya: Where to go for Thanksgiving?

[misterphil]

Why would anyone want to celebrate an American tradition in Thailand?

Doesnt make any sense to me.

If the US is so good why are you here?

[catman20]

Why not? I eat Sunday lunch because I like it, not for any other reason. If they did it on Monday here instead I would like it just as much.

Ah, too bad guys, cooking is another thing you ought to make sure your lady can do--as I have said over and over, why settle for one who can only spread her legs. My lady is preparing roast turkey--had fried turkey last year, but I prefer roasted--corn bread dressing, baked ham, candied sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, cranberry saute, mashed potatoes and giblet gravy, pear and walnut salad, gorgonzola and cheddar cheese platter with olives and gherkins, sour dough muffins and apple butter, and pumpkin and cinnamon cheesecake. Of course a wide selection of alcoholic beverages, black coffee, and sweet lemon tea will accompany the meal.

Tequila Reef, soi 8. Not fancy but adequate. Lek Hotel one year had actual turkeys! I mean turkey carcasses with bones there being carved. Many places don't slice up a bird any more and just do the pressed loaf "turkey breast" stuff.

Looks like prison food.

The vegetables certainly look as though they have been boiled to death, and the bread roll looks quite anaemic. Not attractive at all.

And is the gravy green???? looks like it

[jacko45k]

OK........Google is my friend.....it is on 3rd road in Pattaya. I went to their website and found some pictures of their turkey and dressing:

Looks like Stovetop packaged dressing, but not sure. I want cornbread-based dressing made from scratch. Still, it looks tasty. I do not see pumpkin pie.

Looks like prison food.

Happy not to know first hand.

Tequila Reef for Thanksgiving perhaps..

Sunday lunch is indeed a tradition, just like having fish on Fridays. But that's not the point. The point is that if you like the meal why not enjoy it here as well?

Thanksgiving? is that the celebration where Native Americans helped European settlers in dire needs with food and warmth, and then the Settlers turned around and massacred women, children and men on a scale that dwarfs the stuff Hitler engineered?

Yes, but not only those benefits; the Eurps also gave them deadly diseases, herded them onto reservations, then forced them off again when valuable minerals were found there, and now allow them to run casinos when the Eurp descendants themselves cannot.

A defamatory post has been removed, and please stop the off topic bickering

In the USA, Thanksgiving is a holiday that is a bit off because of the way the settlers later treated the natives. In elementary school it is typically presented as a way of saying thanks for the native's help, and more or less disregards what happened in later years. But I think what it makes it very popular is just the gathering of family and friend's. No hype or pressure about presents and what people want or what to give such as Xmas. Thanksgiving is pretty much non-denominational and not really a big religious holiday. I grew up in the NorthEast and we would spend Turkey day with my Mom's side of the family and Xmas with my Dad's side. Turkey day was always low key, stress free, and with some pretty good food, being inside and warm when it was cold outside as winter is approaching. So please, don't talk the holiday down. Many people take the message to heart and truly do give thanks for the bounty they are about to receive. It can be a bit humbling and enlightening experience.

The deal of the day might be at the Hilton if you have their discount card....about 350 baht for the whole ball of turkey, other than that, the Sportsman on Soi 13 would be a good fall back option....they are getting the turkeys from Malaysia, the rest of the town is getting Thai buzzards.....tough like a boiled owl....?

Many complaints about the traditional food served on American Thanksgiving on this forum are made by non-Americans. Why do you care? Thanksgiving is an American holiday to basically give thanks for what you have (a holiday that was established by Abraham Lincoln). Of course the traditional food items are based on what was found locally, wild turkey...cranberries, sweet potatoes, corn, and the pumpkin. According to the history of pumpkins (round orange gourd), they were one of the earliest foods the first European explorers brought back from the New World. The orange gourds’ first mention in Europe dates to 1536, and within a few decades they were grown regularly in England, where they were called “pumpions,” after the French “pompon,” a reference to their rounded form.The pumpkin pie was introduced by the British settlers who were known for their pies and according to history the first pumpkin pie recipe showed up in a cook book in 1796.

Yes, we all know the shame how the European kingdoms in the 1400s (and later governments during the industrial age) took over the land of the indigenous peoples and wiped out their culture. We cannot change history, can we???? Today we still do it in a different form where big corporations buy/lease land from corrupt governments that have forced indigenous/ local people off their land. Big money then changes the land into a tourist ghetto, palm oil tree or rubber tree plantation, or one giant pasture to raise beef cattle for Mac Donald's. Indirectly we are all connected to this modern embarrassment of greed. (By the way, the north American indigenous tribes were known for fighting against other tribes and occupying their hunting land and forcing their enemy into slavery. So no one in history was perfect.)

In the Canadas 1st:

According to some historians, the first celebration of Thanksgiving in North America occurred during the 1578 voyage of Martin Frobisher from England, in search of the Northwest Passage.[1] His third voyage, to the Frobisher Bay area of Baffin Island in the present Canadian Territory of Nunavut, set out with the intention of starting a small settlement. His fleet of fifteen ships was outfitted with men, materials, and provisions. However, the loss of one of his ships through contact with ice, along with many of the building materials, was to prevent him from doing so. The expedition was plagued by ice and freak storms, which at times scattered the

... Somebody told me that the Hilton really does an excellent (but expensive) Thanksgiving dinner. If you ate there last year, what is your opinion? ...

I didn't eat there last year for Thanksgiving, but I just called Hilton Edge Buffet to ask about it ... Thursday is "asian" food special but both lunch and dinner will feature fresh carved Turkeys ... Lunch is same price at 520 and dinner is ?950b (I can't read my handwriting!).

Asian day isnt bad at all; probably the next best day after Mediterranean day (Tuesday). You wont get a traditional Thanksgiving meal but it will be good and, at under 600B for lunch and water, probably a better deal than any of the special menus previously mentioned.

I've seen their roast turkey before on other days and it looked very tasty, as did the gravy.
