Thanksgiving – catering advice for our American expat cousins in London
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and despite this not being a traditionally British celebration, it seems more and more people are embracing the festivities in recent times. This could be for a number of reasons; for example, there are a large number of American expats now living in London and other areas of the UK, who are keen to continue with their traditions despite now living on British soil. Furthermore, a number of those preparing Thanksgiving meals for family and friends in the UK have usually spent some time in the US or Canada and have experienced the traditional meal first hand. Whatever the reason, in 2014 it was estimated that one in six people in the UK now celebrate Thanksgiving.
