To those Polish Americans living in the USA who are celebrating Thanksgiving, what is on your menu besides the turkey?

Bigos? I've got about 10 Poles coming over for an American style Thanksgiving. I'm sure they'll bring ogórki, herring, vodka, wine and desserts.

That's a Polish style "tenks giwing", not American. So how can Americans throw this Holiday down the Poles throat as mentioned before? It's the Poles that are Americanizing this Beautiful American Holiday, which of course the Poles have no idea what's it about anyway.

I guess we have the typical american stuff, turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes. But my mom makes the best stuffing ever. She uses chicken liver, ground beef, onions & celery in it.

Oh man, I'm drooling just thinking about it!

We of course have our assortment of serniki, szarlotki for desert.

I am going to miss that :(

Even when I try to approximate things here it is never the same as the ingredients are not the same really.

I think the most "thanksgiving" food item I wait all year for is that cranberry sauce. I don't recall every seeing it in PL.

cranberry sauce. I don't recall every seeing it in PL.

They sell it in a jar...Zurawina something or other...I buy it all the time. The best is still made with real cranberries and cooking them down in sugar.
