Seafood Boil- Non traditional Canadian Thanksgiving

I need this!!

Canadian thanksgiving What’s a traditional Canadian thanksgiving meal? Is it like traditional American thanksgiving meal? (Turkey mashed potatoes etc etc) Do yall learn about pilgrims? I legit thought this was a U.S. holiday and I learned today that yall got it too

@Asha A Canadian Thanksgiving meal often includes turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, meatballs, macaroni pie, perogies, and deserts etc. We do not talk about pilgrims, we do recognize that thanksgiving is a colonial holiday. I have family in America and we have celebrated US thankgiving as a family in the past.

Is macaroni pie like southern baked macaroni? Or closer to like Trinidadian macaroni pie? Perogies?? Yall have a lot of polish immigrants? Or am i confused? From your experience is there a big difference between the holiday foods? Meatballs and perogies aren’t typically on the menu but I could see it blended in regionally

For us, because I am half trinidadian, it is trinidadian macaroni pie. Canadian thanksgivng meals vary from home to home im sure. Canada is very diverse and multicultual. There was somewhat of a difference as we dont typically have collard greens and such. My american family is extremly health driven, so there were also meals that are probably not typical and various vegan options along with everything. Generally its the similar tho, again depending on the home and preferences. This thanksgivng we chose to start our own traditions in our home, we what we enjoy and focus on grattitude

looks so yummy!

@destiny I saw your spaghetti it looks soo good!

@Ashley Thank you, it was lol I have risen from my food coma 😂

@Janelle “traditional” in my southern family is turkey, ham, greens, black eyed peas, stuffing, mac n cheese (baked), candied yams, mashed potatoes and gravy, potato salad, a couple other veggies My family on the west coast is pescatarian and we usually do mac n cheese, greens, yams, mashed potatoes and gravy, fried fish, succotash but like that’s also a traditional Sunday dinner lol so it’s not too special just a lot of sides My Trini friends tried to convince me that macaroni pie was different than baked macaroni and literally the only difference is thyme lmao they thought baked macaroni was all runny/boxed stuff and I was like who in the world are yall around to think that? Because my family only makes baked mac

This looks so amazing 🤤
