After extending an invitation to a friend
to join my family for tomorrow’s Thanksgiving meal, he inquired:
Seth, I’m unacquainted with the protocols
of Thanksgiving. What is it right to bring to the table? Please don’t
say “Me”.
To which, I replied:
Beers from these isles, or distilled
spirits—single
malt scotch, or gin—nothing more complex—or we have
kosher problems. Don’t bring wine or liqueurs—even
if kosher (because not everyone agrees what counts as kosher). That’s
the answer because I am Jewish, not because it is Thanksgiving.
Some of my more religious American
co-religionists don’t
think turkey is kosher ... but that’s ok ... as they don’t
celebrate Thanksgiving ab initio.
