Canadian Thanksgiving - Part 2 (Allisons House)

Before we went away for the weekend, Isabelle Allisons housemate, decided that she was going to hold a thanksgiving dinner at their house on Monday night. Well, it turned out great! She organised the turkey, and everyone else brought a dish. The turkey was massive and in line with tradition had no problems feeding this long table. (Made from lots of small coffee tables - kinda like a Japanese restaurant sitting on your knees) The best story of the night was from the some of the English students. Not many people bringing dishes realised that our local supermarket would not be open on Thanksgiving, given that it's 24 hours you wouldn't expect it to close. Well it did... they needed there dish which was to be Corn... These guys being the clever lads they are... decided to get some corn fresh from the fields that are surrounding this town and went of and picked a fair few. Unfortunetly all of the sweet corn has been picked by this stage and the remaining corn is for grain to feed the animals throughout the winter... as a result they had plenty of grain corn.. which is not anything like regular corn. In fact the cob is brown! See the pictures below (it's a much darker colour).

Nonetheless, it was a great night, Allison and I provided some of the dessert in the form of fresh cooked brownies! They were quite a hit! Add another feast for the week! Not bad two nights in a row!
