American Thanksgiving dinner at The Big Easy - Munich

For all those Americans and turkey lovers out there who have nowhere to get turkey on Thanksgiving, this may be the perfect thing for you. The Big Easy is hosting a Thanksgiving dinner; 3 courses complete with Turkey carved at the table. The price is €31 p.p which mwy sound expensive but I have been assured by a colleague who went last year (and will be going again this year) that it is money well spend.

The Restaurant hasn't started advertising this event yet but they are taking bookings, so if you don't want to miss out book early.

(just in case it isn't clear, I'm not organising a TT, I am simply providing information)

Is anyone else doing anything for Thanksgiving? I've taken the day off work (and Friday too ) but haven't made any definite plans. I have to catch the game (Det vs GB) and enjoy some Turkey . I'd host an event if I had space but unfortunately I have a very small apartment. I've managed to get everything for making pumpkin pie, green bean casserole and will order a turkey. So at the very least I'd like to enjoy some Thanksgiving feasting followed by a game day meet-up if anyone is game(?)

hey what are you using to make the punkin pie??? i am soooo jonesin for a slice!
on that same note, i finally found a pie pan, but it was 16€ and i really didnt wanna pay that much.
did you find canned stuff, or are you making it from pumpkins?

Does this look anything like an American Thanksgiving dinner, with the exception of the turkey?! Any other suggestions would be appreciated!!!

yes, cook yourself.

You can get the Pumpkin pie mix and evaporated milk in the basement grocery store at Karstadt downtown between Karlsplatz & Marienplatz. The pie crust you will have to make on your own, the can has instructions on the inside label (must peel the label off).

Thanks TexMunich...it has been a while...Hope you are well and settled here...at least some people give useful suggestions...will look for the pie stuff at Karstadt...

Good luck on your baking. Are you still employed as a Nanny?

Two weeks to the Texas Longhorn and Texas Aggie Game. Gig'em Aggies. Whoop!

I got a few pie crusts from a military friend (base access). The pumpkin pie can be made with real pumpkin or Libby's which as previously stated is available in Kaufhof. I don't have that much time to make it from scratch, so went with Libby's. I happen to have French's Fried Onions from the States and Cream of Mushroom soup, so I will make green bean casserole. I was also toying with the idea of making deviled eggs, anyone have a good recipe for over here?

Again, anyone going to join up for watching the Thanksgiving day games? I also took Friday off and plan to head downtown for the day and do some shopping, anyone interested in meeting up for drinks?

Oh no, I can't even avoid Aggies on the other side of the planet...

Do they play US College Football on TV anywhere over here? I'm sure it's a stretch, but I've been missing my college ball since I've been over here.

I am thinking of hosting Thanksgiving at my place. I don't have any idea how to get a turkey cooked though as I am a working girl...maybe someone would like to help host and come over during the day and cook at my place? Or if you are interested in coming to a Thanksgiving dinner party at 7:30 here in the city center just send me a PM. All nationalities are welcome!

ah a Thanksgiving dinner sounds great...and boy do I want greenbean casserole...darn!!!

Thanks for the invite mahuie1, but like most people here...I have to work on thursday.

And @ TexMunich----doing a few different thinsg right now...hope you make a good Thanksgiving dinner for your family!!! Just going to friends for a non Thanksgiving dinner, but at least I am still going to friends for dinner...

I've watched all the Aggie games with slingbox connected to a friends DISH satellite in the states. Though the games weren't pretty. Hopefully the Texas game will be more enjoyable.

Might also try Piazza Linda. 4 course meal and live music. 35 Euros per person. Very cool place. Make reservations.

Sorry, just looked at the website and it is ausgebucht. There is a waiting list though!
