The Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival is similar to Thanksgiving, in that it's a time to celebrate the autumn harvest and spend time with family members over a home-cooked meal. Maybe a nice Asian-fusion dish would be turkey potstickers?
Incidentally, the Chinese translation for turkey is 火鸡 or huǒ jī which is literally translated as "fire chicken."
Wishing you a happy Fire-chicken Day.
Comments
Chinese/Taiwanese-Americans use sweet rice as a stuffing.
Any report of someone trying Turducken in China?
Maybe there is no turducken in China.
Does anyone in China know about how the Pilgrims and British Settlers stole the land from the Native Americans after they were kind enough to help them survive through the winter? Do the Chinese know that Thanksgiving really translates into thanks for giving us your land and life as you know it? If so I’m sure they would laugh at the U.S. when the U.S. protest what they call human rights violations.
