RE: Formal Chinese dinners/banquets
Finally, at the end of the feast, some fried rice (southern China cuisine) or noodles (northern China) would be served where each person will have a token amount, to show homage and respect to the rice/noodle growers who have provided food for the country over the centuries.
Aside from these rare occasions, I suspect everyone in SE Asia enjoys rice/noodles with his/her meals daily. I know I sure do.

I bought some sliced porchetta from Eataly the other day and am going to heat it through w/ some beef stock and then add some mozzarella cheese, minced garlic and (thawed) frozen chopped spinach. Once all warmed through (and the cheese melted), I'm going to serve it on a toasted loaf of semolina bread I also got from Eataly. Likely with some mayo. Never done this before, but I think it will work well.

We brought the bread with us. I think it was Mrs BVs mothers recipe. I will post when we get back home. Its pretty simple and delicious. Also addictive. My wife bakes 5 small loaves at a time and gives most of them away.

This recipe is where I got the idea from. It's a great brine to use.

can I use old wine? I have bottles of whites all 2000-2010, all old yet not opened.
which beer? Any beer thats on sale or a better quality beer?
I guess it's probably sad that it's my least favorite holiday meal. Everything just seems so boring to me, with the exception of some creative stuffing I've had. Although you named my favorite part of it, leftover turkey sandwiches, preferably with some leftover mashed potatoes and gravy on there too. Anyone want to join me in starting a new tradition of Thanksgiving duck or maybe quails?

It's a nice thought, but since someone else is usually hosting, I don't get that choice. I'm not complaining, it's fine. Just doesn't seem like that special of a meal to me.
