What fun it was to cook a Thanksgiving dinner for my French neighbors! Stuffed Turkey Breast Roulade was the main course on the menu as whole turkeys are impossible to buy in France until Christmas time! Sweet potatoes, cranberries, mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts and pumpkin pie rounded out the meal. They had never tasted some of our new world foods and even loved the dessert! My explanation of the story of Thanksgiving (the same one I had told earlier to my students) added to complete the cultural exchange!
