A delicious roast beaver with an apple in it's mouth, plenty of back bacon stuffing. Fall vegetables basted in a lager, squirrel pie infused with whiskey and a pumpkin pie topped with beer foam.

After wards the family goes out and plays hockey and the elders remember the old days of trapping and hunting for pelts.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!

Canada is a country that was founded by young, lower-class, European men who traveled thousands of miles to search in a bush for beaver. In fact, Canadians retain such an affinity for their beavers that they still have a picture of one engraved on their nickel.

A traditional Canadian Thanksgiving involves a twenty-five-pound serving of poutine sculpted into the shape of a turkey. Then large individual beakers of Tim Horton* coffee and several dozen of his Maple Sugar glazed donuts are distributed to everyone.

After the meal, everyone settles back around a roaring fire and listens to their arteries harden.

At least that’s what my old Canadian boyfriend told me.


* This part makes a lot more sense since I learned that Tim Horton isn’t only a defunct hockey player.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

VB, you're an amazing encyclopeadia of useless yet provoking knowledge....I bow to you.

Happy Thanksgiving all you Canucks!

I wondered when someone was going to mention Tim Horton coffee and squirrels. Didn't take very long, did it?

No no no, the arteries don't harden, we just loaf around working on our winter blubber. Of course, it remains pretty thin - thus allowing us Canadians to keep thin for the long cold winters.

Well, thanks.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Well, thanks.

Ah, a virtual cornucopia of Canadian generosity.

Guess I ain't a real Canadian then. Don't like beavers (the rodent kind anyway), loathe poutine, find hockey boring and think Tim Horton's makes a lousy cup of coffee.

Like my donuts, though.

So, thanks everybody.

 

[SensualCealy]

Rgraham, thats sacrelig. saying Timmies doesnt make a good cup of coffee!

I love Beavers- pie shaped ones are the best!

Poutine is good, specially if you have IBS, keeps the pipes cleaned out! lol

Hockey sucks, so does our football!- even if you are Canadian!

As for Maple glazed donuts, Timmies has them and they are soooo yummie!


Our 'real' thanksgiving meal consisted of, One mother of a bird(turkey)! Ham, turnips, potatoes, stuffing- both normal and cajan, cranberries, carrots ( those long pointy things), pickle tray, cheese tray, coleslaw, and cesar salad. Desert was, pumpkin, blueberry and apple pies, raisin tarts, and a fruit tray. Twenty eight people in all so we do pot luck. (If there is anything left in the pot, you are in Luck!)

Not the best meal, but we did celebrate with the in laws! lmao!
