Gotta love a dancing turkey

I didn't know they celebrated Thanksgiving in any of those countries

Oops, it is a generic HOLIDAY greeting

I didn't think they had turkey for holidays in the UK, always thought the menu would be;
Scotch Eggs
Blood Pudding
Bubble and Squeak
Mince Pie
Yorkshire Pudding
Haggis
and maybe some Kidney Pie

[Paul LS]

Thats a typical everyday breakfast here in the UK. Traditionally we have Turkey for Christmas dinner.

Thanks for clearing that up for me Paul

The last 5 years I spent in Minneapolis I worked for a guy from the UK.
There is a nice tavern and restaurant downtown called Brits Pub that he loved to frequent.
We had all of our company Christmas parties there and the menu was pretty much what I posted above, always makes me chuckle when I think of Christmas and the UK

Chuck, if you ever visit the UK you must make sure it is around the early January period.

That is the peak season for hunting haggis so that they are really fresh for the annual Burn's Night suppers (25th January) held throughout the UK wherever there are Scots people resident. The freshly caught haggis are really delicious. During the hunt you may even find some scotch eggs.

As for blood (or black) puddings (boudin noir in French I think) - great rivalry exists between the England and France. The puddings are very popular in northern England and northern France and an annual black pudding competition between the countries takes place.

Whilst you would be chasing the haggis you may be partaking a we dram of the whisky, but then you would have missed a tipple from the oldest licensed distillery in the British Isles, whiskEy from Bushmills.

For some reason I am thinking that hunting haggis is like hunting snipe here in the US

Yes, except that Snipe tastes a bit like chicken while Haggis is an acquired taste. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipe

Ahhh, the illustrious Snipe Hunt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipe_hunt
