Talking Turkey
 
I will be in London over Thanksgiving this year, is there anywhere that would serve a traditional American turkey dinner or am I expecting too much?

They don't celebrate it, so you're expecting too much.

<BR>You could-email the pastors of two American churches here to ask whether they know of a celebration: [email protected] and [email protected]. I should be sorry if not: we see many enjoyable celebrations from across the world, and I hope your day is marked here. The more so when our two countries face special questions on the maintenance and the defence of freedom.<BR><BR>You might post on Fodors anything you learn.<BR><BR>Welcome to London<BR><BR>Ben Haines<BR><BR>

Try chains such as the Marriotts, Sheraton/Starwoods, or Hiltons. A friend had dinner last year at one such hotel (as they cater to a largely American crowd).

I know that there is a thanksgiving service for Americans at St Pauls. Worth checking out the website.

One of my favorites in London is Maggie Jones in the Kensington area. They often have roast turkey on their menu and with a number of Americans patronizing them, I would be willing to bet you could get a traditional turkey dinner on our Thanksgiving.

Having just returned from the USA to the Uk I think the food in Americas leaves a lot to be desired.. Have you every tried an English Home cooked Roast Turkey dinner? It may change the way you eat!!

Dear Ms Riley,<BR><BR>I agree that in England home cooking is best. But perhaps you expect too much. How can an American tourist try home cooked food in England ? Perhaps you are planning to open a bed and breakfast house that celebrates Thanksgiving Day ?<BR><BR>Ben haines<BR>
