none of those things are "american foods"

turkeys have been around before the formation of the unites states

Pretty sure everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving is non American because I can't imagine many Native Americans do.

Yes. Every Thanksgiving, in fact. In October.

-Turkey? First slaughtered for food in Mexico and exported from there.
-Stuffing? Romans presumably.
-Mash and potatoes? Bangers and mash, started in the UK.
-Green Bean Casserole? It is American, and no i never had it.
-Cranberry Sauce? Native American in origin, Americans have claimed it as their own.
-Oven Rolls? Jordanian in origin in pre-historic times by the earliest known record of bread of any type. Assuming oven rolls are just bread rolls by a different name.
-Apple pie? Started in the UK and was exported. America claims it as its own though.
-Pumpkin Pie? Has a shared origin point with the UK, Canada and America.
-Sweet Potato Pie? That's American and curiously African-American in origin. just thought i'd mention that.

So only two foods are wholly american in origin that are thanksgiving foods. and i haven't had either.

Pretty sure apple pie was a Dutch thing first and foremost.

America claimed those foods/dishes under Hippitus Hoppitus.

"Scientists believe that pumpkins originated in North America about 9000 years ago. The oldest pumpkin seeds have been found in Mexico and date back to somewhere between 7000-5550 B.C.. Pumpkins (along with other forms of squash) were a historically important food staple among Native Americans."

They made cobblers with pumpkin, animal fat, and often acorn starch.

I guess pate is super special because you roll it out though, like an acorn pancake.

"Where is the potato originally from? The potato is native to the Peruvian-Bolivian Andes. It was cultivated in South America by the Incas as early as 1,800 years ago. The Spaniards who colonized South America introduced potatoes into Europe during the second half of the 16th century."
bangers and mash is a turn of the 18th century dish, originally served with portuguese sausage as the portuguese dish which was near-identical and used squash instead of potatoes was where it came from.

I'll add this is Christmas food I don't do thanksgiving in UK.

- Turkey
- Stuffing
- Stuffing from inside the turkey
- Mashed potatoes w/ gravy

- Cranberry sauce
- oven rolls - used to make these a lot.
- Apple pie - I prefer apple crumble
- Pumpkin/Sweet potato pie - very nice

My favourite Christmassy dish I don't have one as its all so good bit of beef, bit of ham, bit of gammon, obviosuly Turkey / Chicken.

I do like the gravy that comes from the roast I always cook the vegetables in the same oven dish as the roast and have a second oven dish as well with more vegetables roasting.

Something I love to do and have not grown out of is squashing the roast potatoes into the gravy.

Vegetables I like to cook in the oven dishes :

Parsnips
Carrots
Potatoes
Sometimes bit of Turnip
Sweet potato
Apples
Pears

I add honey to both oven dishes and lots of salt and peeper.
Mixed green herbs you get the pots from supermarkets (or food wholesalers if you can).

When its done the vegetables are so overly done and scrumptious they are as good as the roast and that is when I know I did a good job.

They don't have to be. They're part of a classic American thanksgiving meal.

Pretty much everyone who celebrates it is a native of the United States of America, whom are referred to as Americans for short.

they do if you're gonna be calling them "american foods"

[Dutchgamer1982]

apple pie is Dutch, not american and I eat it regulairly.

Cranberry Sauce is derivative of the much older north european Lingonberry jelly that has been eaten since time immemorial and yeah I love it. again.. not american.

mashed potatoes.. well we dutch eat and grow tons of potatoe.. and mashing them is our thing.. so again not that american either.
your variant of gravy IS american.. and while I hat it.. I not like what americans call gravy..

here we call it Jus.. and its much clearer and fattier (basicly the butter you fried meat in) a mix of meatjuices meat fat drippings and browned butter.

sk had yes but not like usa variant of gravy its inferior.

had have turkey but never a whole grilled one let alone stuffed.

nothing of the rest I ever had.
