I now understand what Thanksgiving is all about: food, food and more food! But the best part is to spend it with family and/or friends...
A real traditional home-cooked Thanksgiving meal takes a very long time to prepare and is usually made of these dishes:
The main piece is, of course, the TURKEY! this one was 16 pounds (7,2kg)!!
some can even weigh 25 pounds

and it always comes with dressing, (bread, onions, green celery...) which tradionally is cooked INSIDE the turkey, but its easier and not as messy to cook it on the side :
