It’s not hard to get all the raw materials for Thanksgiving here in France. Turkey seems quite popular, although I’m not sure I’ve seen a whole one. If we do Thanksgiving, I’ll do our own from scratch. Thanksgiving is about enjoying time w/family, not just (semi) nice food.

Several restaurants in Prague served Thanksgiving meal with Red, Hot & Blues probably having the best spread. But, much more fun was finding a turkey and cooking it up with your friends. We would have Thanksgiving meals of 25-30 people of all nationalities, epitomizing the community element of the holiday. Right now we’re searching for a place to celebrate Thanksgiving in Bolivia…a bit more difficult. Think we’ll have to cook it ourselves.

I found a couple places in Prague that were said to serve Thanksgiving dinner, although I could not find any substantial evidence on their website’s so I couldn’t use them. Buffalo Bills was one of them.
