Thanksgiving is an official day in the Dominican Republic

[cavok]

Lots of items available on north coast only too……. Expat country

Yes. That's pretty much what I was implying in post #8 except I was remiss in not putting "almost" in front of "all the TD ingredients".

Nothing better than a big plato del pavo followed by Viernes Negro shopping the next day!

The DR is rapidly becoming a US state. I hope Mr Sawman above is being sarcastic!

September and November aren’t the same.

I just can't believe it is Thanksgiving...it came so quick.

 

[Tarheel]

It might be an official day here but try and find a restaurant that can cook a real Thanksgiving Day Turkey meal with all the trimmings. Once Rocky's retired I have not seen one that can come close.......

Serenade restaurant in Cabarete has a great thanksgiving spread.

Seriously. I just took down my Christmas lights a few weeks ago and it's time to put them up again, for Pete's sake.

Yup. DR1 Thanksgiving at Rocky's was so much fun those first years. I've looked for canned pumpkin, (found it one year) and jellied cranberry sauce often and no luck.

Playero has canned pumpkin.

PriceSmart has pumpkin pies. And they are quite good. I wanted to make a pecan pie but could not find pecans in Santiago or Sosua.

You can find plenty of pecans in Janet's. They almost always have them. Sirena Market in Sosua had some pretty good looking pecan and pumpkin pies lastweek.

I know you're San Cristobal, but where in the store did you find them? I'm going to Bravo San Isidro tomorrow.

 

[JD Jones]

They're in two places in SC BRAVO: The little ones are in the back near the bakery, and the large ones are in the chiller section near the butter. YMMV.

 

[Northern Coast Diver]

Thanksgiving is fast approaching. For those here on the North Coast, I will be serving a nice Homemade Thanksgiving dinner at the Finish Line Bar in Sosua on Calle Ayuntamiento. Cost $900 RD per. Serving from 2 pm till 5 pm. Dinner includes:

Roast Turkey with Gravy
Whipped Potato
Grandma's Sausage Stuffing
Sliced Carrots
Steakhouse Creamed Spinach
Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce

Hope to see you there!
