At any Thanksgiving table across the country, you’re likely to find the usual suspects: turkey, a glistening centerpiece, joined by stuffing and a motley cast of sides. But look more closely, and singularities will arise: a soy sauce glaze on one bird, oysters tucked into another’s stuffing, miso butter melted into the mashed potatoes that accompany a third.
On this American holiday, we feast on foods as varied as the cultural fabric of America itself.
