The Complexities of Keeping Thanksgiving in Ireland

After extending an invitation to a friend to join my family for tomorrow’s Thanksgiving meal, he inquired:

Seth, Im unacquainted with the protocols of Thanksgiving. What is it right to bring to the table? Please dont say Me.

To which, I replied:

Beers from these isles, or distilled spiritssingle malt scotch, or ginnothing more complexor we have kosher problems. Dont bring wine or liqueurseven if kosher (because not everyone agrees what counts as kosher). Thats the answer because I am Jewish, not because it is Thanksgiving.

Some of my more religious American co-religionists dont think turkey is kosher ... but thats ok ... as they dont celebrate Thanksgiving ab initio.
