Seasonal — Thanksgiving
Most American Thanksgiving tables carry two menus: the traditional one, and the dish that came from somewhere else.
Turkey and stuffing, and also lumpia, and also pastelón, and also biryani, and also the pasta course nobody will give up. That mixture is the most accurate portrait of American food there is, and it is exactly what the United States collection and the heritage collections are drawn to represent side by side.
Whoever is hosting is on their feet for twelve hours. An illustrated apron or tea towel is the gift that gets used before the meal is even served — and unlike wine, it is still in the kitchen next November.
For a first Thanksgiving in a new home, pair the tea towel with a poster of the host's heritage cuisine.
Thanksgiving is when relatives are in one room for the only time all year — a practical moment to hand over heritage gifts for grandparents, parents and children from the same country collection.
