A Vietnamese family friend who ran a restaurant provided us with a turkey for a few years. Imagine your standard-issue bird, but done the Vietnamese way with Vietnamese spices, stuffed with noodles and umami flavors.

During those decades, the country was rebuilding from war, and my parents had sent back a lot of money to starving relatives. | didn't go on these trips, but wish | had seen what my parents saw, because after the second trip, over Thanksgiving, my father said, \"We are Americans now." They have never returned. (51 Nowadays when we gather for Thanksgiving, my brother and sister-in-law bring a prepared turkey-and-fixings meal from a fancy supermarket. My father supplements this with Vietnamese delicacies from an excellent deli. The adults like the Vietnamese food more, but we do our best with the turkey.
