In honor of the day

This got me wondering -- are there still harvest festivals celebrated in the UK? Is it on a sort of place-by-place basis? The phrase "Harvest Home" is running through my head...

Hope everyone has a nice day, whether it involves turkey or not. Actually, mine won't either...I'm doing a dinner for two this year, and I've never actually cooked a whole bird of any sort before -- curries, casseroles, and stir-fries are more my style. So I thought I'd start small and try a Cornish hen!

In a fit of vegetarian paranoia last Christmas, I got Robo!Turkey, which came with a device inserted that told me when it was cooked....

There are harvest festivals here, I think, although they tend to be a bit earlier in the year. At school, we'd make up baskets of food and take them out to elderly people. I always feel a bit gypped that you get two winter celebrations and we only get one....

Happy Thanksgiving!

C of E churches have a harvest festival at the end of September. (I don't know about other churches) As far as I can remember, it mostly involves collecting food which then gets distributed among the poor, and there's a service, of course.

Happy Thanksgiving and I hope the Cornish hen was a success!

I've had dinner ages ago and all these food posts are making me ravenous, lol.
