Some of us at Guanabee headquarters are still reeling about the lack of enthusiasm for turkey amongst our readership. Some of us (not American) are like all, “whatever.” How ya’ll feeling post-turkey?
my parents were born and raised in Mexico …once they moved to the US and learned about Thanksgiving, our familia has been celebrating it every year! with all the traditional fixings …but of course still tons of beer and tequila!
um…i’m still eating turkey today. and tomorrow, and probably until sunday. now if i can only get the right ingredients for mole in western massachusetts, i’d be in business with the remaining leftovers.
i think this is the holiday where latinos learn to blend into the u.s.: eat until bloating, watch football and ogle cheerleaders, sink into debt by going shopping the next day, and feel guiltier for it afterwards.
Do Mecha members celebrate Thanksgiving? Or does it somehow go against their ideals? I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to Mecha. All I know is that they’re brown and proud (like Guanabee). I did meet a Mecha girl once, and let’s just say she confirmed what Tiziano Ferro was saying all along. Of course, I’m sure not all Mecha girls look like her. Well, I hope not.
I, on the other hand, celebrate Thanksgiving every year. Yes, it’s a white tradition, but if you live in a country that was founded by Anglo-Saxons, you might as well start getting with the program. I also think about all the Native Americans that were screwed over by the white man, and that makes me sad. So, I stuff my face with turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie to numb the pain. Then, I spend money like there’s no tomorrow on Black Friday. God, I love America!
Both of my grandmother’s were born in Mexico and my parents and I in the US. We always celebrate Thanksgiving. Growing up on a border town I knew many Mexican families who also celebrated. I don’t eat turkey (I’m a vegetarian) but I eat everything else along with some mystery soy product.

I ate mucho turkey yesterday. We also had some pasta thanks to an Italian in the house. Yum.

Love the holiday, love the food and love this country. Cutting thru the bull, sure am glad I’m here and not “back home.”

My turkey was delicious. It wasn’t pavochon but it was still delicious, and our stuffing had chorizo and cilantro in it.
