“I mean, it’s a penis. It’s not a sunset.”
—Bert Di Grasso, from the new season of White Lotus
When I first moved to California (as an adult and thus away from family and the thanksgivings I’d grown up on) one of my closest friends was/is Filipino and he insisted that since I’d be alone on thanksgiving I must come to his family’s thanksgiving.
I didn’t want to impose but I am so glad he talked me into it cuz holy hell is was magnificent.
Two Filipino families on the same block joined forces for the greatest thanksgiving spread you’ve even seen!
Sure, you had all the traditional thanksgiving dishes: The turkey, the stuffing, all that. But you ALSO had every other great food ever. There was lasagna, there was steak, there was, of course, lumpia.
You name it, they had it. And a lot of it and often a couple versions of it.
I’ve been told that this is standard in Filipino culture.
It was wonderful.
