Portuguese Thanksgiving include salted cod fish and massa suvada/sweet bread.
This year, there was also laughter about how my aunt made tuna sandwiches. Spreading the mayo on the bread-like butter-and then putting the tuna on top-dry, instead of mixing it up. I still can't tell whether it is funny or more time consuming.
There is still a big divide between things that are American, and things that are Portuguese. And the bits that are Portuguese are fading with each year.
This year, there was no sweet bread. Only sweets.
