Thank you! I think she had a brain fart when she thought she

Stupid liar nancy. I didn't say that.. For a start Britain doesn't
celebrate Thanksgiving. The traditional time for a turkey dinner here,
is Christmas.

If you had written "Janet is wrong, anyway, in her sweeping
statement that Brits eat turkey at Christmas, as if that were the only
entree choice.", that would also have been a lie.

I did not say what you pretend above
Brits do eat turkey at Christmas
It is not the "only choice" of Christmas menu and I never claimed it was.

What I wrote was

"English traditional Christmas meal, is not roast beef. It's roast
turkey :-) "

I meant Christmas and typed

To me, that is read as, "English traditional Christmas meals are
turkey, not roast beef." I cannot see any wiggle room there. It is a
sweeping generalization in any language. My statement was that my
Anglophile grandmother served roast beef. You countered with the
statement above which states that my grandmother was wrong about a
traditional Christmas dinner. Admit you're wrong.

You have a problem with semantics. Further, the sign of a weak
argument is a personal attack.

They are. It's not to say nobody eats beef, or lentil pie, instead

Traditions are a general habit. Some Brits eat beef, or nut cutlet, or
curried goat on December 25th, but the national TRADITIONAL menu, is
turkey with a set of traditional trimmings follewed by a traditional
pudding. Just like, TRADITIONALLY.kids here eat chocolate eggs at
Easter. Some kids never ever eat chocolate at Easter or any other time,
but that makes no difference to eating chocolate easter eggs being a
*national tradition*.

I am wondering if you know the meaning of Anglophile ; it's not a
genetically inherited cultural qualification on how life is lived in
England in the 21st century.

I didn't say that she was wrong about eating beef on Christmas day
being a tradition IN YOUR FAMILY.
I just told you, it is not, the traditional English Christmas day menu.

Quoted message said:

Admit you're wrong.

How about, you admitting that roast beef or lentil pie is the
traditional American Thanksgiving dinner, because some people in America
don't like turkey and cook roast beef or lentil pie instead.. Does that
work for you?

Janet.

Huh? Where did I imply that's what I thought? I used "Anglophile,"
because my grandmother, although of English descent, was too far
removed from her English ancestors to really "be" English, but she
desired to emulate English traditions and other things English. I
believe that's the correct definition of Anglophile; did you know what
it meant before you looked it up?

I don't believe I've ever made a statement as to what a traditional
Thanksgiving meal is in the U.S. There are too many different entrees
that individuals serve. Unlike some posters, I'm pretty careful about
what I claim to know.
