What's On Your Thanksgiving Table?

Leftovers, of course.

I guess I am a true American, indeed. I wasn’t sure until now.

There is also gratitude for life on the table.

How is bear meat? That's one I've never tried.

I've eaten rattlesnake, rabbit, deer, goat, and others I can't think of right now. But never bear.

Bears are about like a really high-quality beef brisket, well-marbled if you're cooking it that way (not obvious in a meatloat of course--but true hunters waste nothing) with a bit of the woodsy omnivore taste of a raccoon. I bet you'd like it! For sure I know you'd have liked what they did with the fat of the bear--they saved it to render down into a sort of lard or shortening. Kept cold, it worked better than Crisco, and as well as pure leaf lard, to make the biscuits.

I have never been on a bear hunt. The only large game I've ever taken is a few white-tailed deer, but they're delicious too and a lot easier to find than a bear. Sometimes you have to thin the deer population lest they destroy the forest's underbrush with browsing, get a nasty deer disease from overpopulation, get killed by tons of predators (who will starve to death when the deer population collapses) or cause a bunch of automobile accidents while crossing the street. But right now I do not really hunt at all because of college getting in the way. I haven't tried getting permits. Still, I'm a passable shot with the repeating rifle, and should probably go deer-hunting sometime next year or the year after.

Yes, it Is very crazy for tourists to experience this. Many years ago, children would hit everyone with toy hammers and throw confetti but they changed that after some people bringing real hammers. Now we wear and eat onion type recipes and throw confetti at each other.

That is the funniest thing I have read in a while. :) Children beating people with hammers and throwing confetti on them to celebrate the onions. Because that's normal. Oh Switzerland, you're so weird :D

I want to attend the onion festival! I love an onion sandwich recipe from James Beard: white bread, thin layer of butter or mayonnaise on both pieces of bread, thin slices of a mild onion such as a Vidalia or Walla Walla. Nothing else!

If you want to get fancy, use a cookie cutter to cut out bread circles, make the sandwiches on the circles, roll the edges of the sandwiches in mayonnaise and then in minced fresh parsley.

Yeah I want to attend the onion fest too. And Switzerland is the land of chocolate and cheese. And astonishing lakes. Chocolate, cheese, onions and lakes, that's the good life. :D
 
In the northeastern United States, we enjoy a good old garlic fest now and then.

I wonder what would happen if I showed up to the garlic festival with some confetti and a hammer. I would bring a toy one, of course.
