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.

Not sure about now as weddings for me are now few and far in between, but in my experience, typically the last course for a chinese wedding is usually both (several individual bowls of rice or noodles) served to the table, usually not enough of either for the whole table as most people are usually full at that point or move on to a communal dessert table.

No argument from me! My favorite eating day of the year is the day after Thanksgiving. I make huge sandwiches from the leftovers…,add some sweet potato pie…and life is perfect!

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 BV’s mother’s recipe. I will post when we get back home. It’s pretty simple and delicious. Also addictive. My wife bakes 5 small loaves at a time and gives most of them away.

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? :)

Both? I've used beer for both beef and chicken, but never mixed with white wine. Equal parts with salt for a brine? I'm intrigued.

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

It’s not sad - just eat what you want. I love Turkey and would still want you to have duck or some other main if you don’t want Turkey on thanksgiving.

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.
