As the States are not the only ones who celebrate the holiday, let's see how our neighbors, Canada and Puerto Rico celebrate each of their Thanksgivings.
Canada's Thanksgiving occurs in October and in general does not different much from the U.S. version of the holiday. However, they do have food variations such as the Ontario traditional food, tomato aspic (molded, jellied tomato juice).
Puerto Rico celebrates Thanksgiving the same day as the States, but with decidedly different foods. The Turkey is roasted and stuffed with mofongo, also known as “Plantain Balls”. Some foods you might sample on a Puerto Rican table are boiled bananas in garlic sauce called “Guineos en escabeche” and rather than Pumpkin Pie you may eat dulce de leche, a custard made from caramelized milk.
No matter how or where you celebrate the holiday remember the most important aspect of the day, be grateful for all you have.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
In addition to the pier receiving a face lift, the bathrooms have been completely overhauled and are lined with easy to clean epoxy flooring. The amount of stalls has also been increased and there is now a family restroom which can double as a changing room. The new bathrooms will not be officially open until December.
This restaurant offers a unique dining style starting with the burner on your table! Before you get worried that you'll be completely cooking your own dinner, relax, the most you have to do is put food on your fondue fork and stick it into the cheese, broth or chocolate.
Individual entrees are available if you don't want to do the full experience. Also, you can order cheese and chocolate fondues individually if you prefer.
