P.S. How could I forget the corn? 😏
We don't celebrate that particular festival over here.
In Britain they call it Harvest festival.
I have often wondered why we don't celebrate it here, given the fact that
Ireland is a food island. We are world renowned for our agriculture and our meat
and dairy product are famous all over the world.
I was very surprised to learn recently that agriculture in Britain only represents less than 5% of their economy.

Is it the same thing as Harvest? I thought it had something to do with the Pilgrim settlers chowing down with the Native Americans in the early days? yknow - before relations between the settlers and the natives became.... difficult.

P.S. The food stores are closed today on Thanksgiving Day, so if you forgot to buy something you intend to prepare for the thanksgiving dinner, you will have to go to a restaurant to get it. Most fast food restaurants are closed.
