Only once did I have a thanksgiving dinner. It was my school in Chicago who had as a tradition that every professor would invite a bunch of the international students.
 In the house I was assigned, the stuffing came on the side. It was explained to us that a very important tradition was to drink bland beer, and to watch american football at the same time. 😉

 Detroit and Dallas, every miserable, tryptophan-snoozing year!
 

 Never been to either place. Dallas is on the list, Detroit, not so much.

 Right, I was referring to the scheduled nfl games for that day, it became a TV tradition back when Dallas was good and Detroit was awful.

 Ahhh.... thank you! I had no idea! Many decades ago, in that room at thanksgiving, I hardly paid any notice to the actual teams playing. I was more focused on my beer and some discussion with the professor and my fellow class mates. It seemed as if the game was just a backdrop and very few cared about the actual result.

I honestly think they get more buzz out of the Munich games.

This reminds me of baseball games I went to, and I found people bbq:ing in the parking lot! Never seen that in europe. Felt very genuine!
