Back in the beginning of October I was actually a little bit sad that I missed out on Thanksgiving. It is actually my favourite holiday because I love fall (autumn for the Brits who read this) and there is nothing really superficial about the holiday, it’s just about getting together with family and having a really nice meal and having to change your pants halfway through to make room for pumpkin pie. Thankfully there are a lot of American students here doing the dual master’s program who so kindly invited me to celebrate this Thursday. It was obviously the best meal that I’ve had since I’ve been in Malta because there was so much to choose from: mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, bean casserole, carrots, stuffing, salad and of course turkey. On top of all of that there was an amazing dessert spread which included a Nutella cake (chocolate cake with Nutella icing between layers and then completely iced in nutella- hello!), and apple crumble. Basically, I was in heaven and my intelly belly was just lovin’ it. So overall it was a great night and thank you so much to the hosts for such great company. Of course the question came up of us trying to determine the difference between Canadian and American Thanksgiving. Essentially the whole idea of the holiday is the same but I thought this chart was cute in trying to explain the differences.
