    Most Ontarians I know serve pumpkin pie. It’s the highlight in my family’s celebration of the holiday. Same recipe being made by three generations. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

      @arejayseeottawa; MOST stores now have black Friday sales for a whole week, to keep Canadians from going into the States for that Holiday.

    I am thankful for my family all around the table and all the beautiful food we enjoy together but most of all I am grateful to be able to give to others less fortunate than me and my family. I love helping out when I can.

    Our Thanksgiving dinner this year was turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, homemade cornbread and pumpkin pie. Traditional as heck wouldn’t you say! One Thanksgiving we were invited to a friend’s home. Instead of pumpkin pie she made carrot pie. It was absolutely delicious, very similar to pumpkin pie because you use a lot of the same spices. Sweet potato pie likely takes on a similar taste and texture, they are all delicious.🇨🇦

    The gravy! I always got to make it as a kid. Worst thing is running out, and we’d have turkey a few times during the year and I’d make stock and freeze it, along with the giblets and fat. On t-day we had almost two gallons of it, enough for everyone to take home with them.

    I think that the Canadian Thanksgiving Day is closer to the time of Fall, 1621, when the shared harvest feast happened in the Plymouth area of Massachusetts, because, it would've been still warm enough to celebrate & feast outdoors, as opposed to the end of November, when, it's really cold outside.

    Your idea of the Canadian Thanksgiving is way off,, Our family is both American and Canadian,, we live in Southern Ontario which is a lot more south than the northern states so its not in October bc of late harvest,, also in every province except the eastern (maritime) provinces it is a 3 day holiday weekend,, our dinners are the same in Canada as ours US Thanksgiving dinners,,, never heard of some of that other food were talking about about,,,, Canada's Thanksgiving (and Christmas) dinners are the same as the US,, also I've never had a butter tart in Canada for Thanksgiving dinner,, it's always pumpkin pie as well as a lot of others pies and goodies, which could include butter tarts but not traditionally,,,, Canadians do have black friday but it's the same day as the US and yes boxing day is another big shopping day. I don't were some Americans get all these weird things about Canada bc Canadians don't know wth your talking about either! 😂
    There's not much difference between the culture of both countries but I do prefer living in Canada bc it's so beautiful, safe and clean,,, don't get me wrong I love the US!

    You do know that Canada is literally part of America, right? You do know that the United States doesn't make up all of America, right? America isn't a country. It's two continents (or one, depending on where you're from). Any country part of said continent(s) is part of America. You mean Canadian vs United States Thanksgiving.
