As the saying goes....
The title says it all.
Just to wish all my friends in the USA a very happy Thanksgiving tomorrow. May your wines be uncorked and yur Turkeys perfect, your dressings tasty and your gravies a delight.
As for us.... we're defrosting the freezer!!

Hi Ian, Even though Viking exploration in America predates the Pilgrims and other settlers, I'll go with the turkey and other accouterments. Can you imagine celebrating a "Viking" day with lutefisk and glogg? Me neither! :-) Dick in Minnesota USA

A peculiar combination... :-) Glögg is mulled spiced red wine, some times fortified with a liberal dash of brandy or port, and with chopped almonds or hazelnuts and raisins thrown in - very popular in Sweden at parties in November and December, much less used in Norway.
Lutefisk..., well it is dried fish that is reconstituted by firstly putting it in cold water for a few days, changing it a few times, then in water with lye a couple days, then rinsed thoroughly to remove traces of lye. Then it is heated (not boiled - no more water is needed) - oven at 180C for
20minutes is good - and served with various accessories. Beer and aquavit is the preferred drink. Quite many people in Sweden, Norway and the U.S.(!) love it and deem it fit for kings. Others hate it. Denmark does not have lutefisk, Finland does partly (it was a part of Sweden till the 18th century) :-) Anders
Thanks Ian, and a happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!
Happy Thanksgiving anyone!
this is a great time to grab your most expensive wine and use it with your friends...
be generous, offer wine!
I always think that a good wine can really make the difference in any important lunch, more important than food...

Thanks for those thoughts, Ian, and a belated happy Thanksgiving to all.
