We hosted a team building dinner at our house for Stacey's team and when asked what the nationals would like to eat they requested a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. The nationals believe we eat this meal all the time. Unknown to them is the amount of effort it takes to make the meal and to do it all yourself.
I was able to buy a 15lb turkey from the states here in Kazakhstan so of course we had turkey. We also had two types of stuffing, two types of gravy, macaroni and cheese, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, corning pudding; and for desert Kentucky derby pie, pumpkin pie, and vanilla ice cream.
The nationals were very appreciative and tried all the food. As you would expect since the food is different than they are used to, they ate with caution, but I believed they enjoyed the turkey the most.
