With the Thanksgiving holidays coming up and with the usual feasting that takes place at this time of year, many turkeys will be forced to leave this Earth ... but remember that for every vegan Thanksgiving feast that is served, a turkey will give thanks. :D

I'm wondering what everyone's plans are for the food-related aspects of this holiday. I'm making this into a poll - at least, I think I am... never created a poll here before - but feel free to post personal responses in addition to voting.

For myself, I and my mom will most likely be spending time with my godmother (and her son and her husband) and her extended family, but for my holiday meal I will be pre-ordering and bringing along a completely vegan, organic Thanksgiving 9-course feast from Real Food Daily *cheers* I'm very excited about that. For more information about Real Food Daily, go to their website at http://www.realfooddaily.com The info on their "Thanksgiving-to-Go" offer is on the "What's Cooking" page. Unfortunately, there are only two Real Food Daily locations and they're both in Los Angeles... Does anyone know of other food service businesses elsewhere in the world that are having similar offers of ready-made vegan Thanksgiving feasts?

Namaste,
Erik

I'm in Los Angeles too. We're getting the Wellington from Native Foods and then I'm going to make the rest of the dinner from scratch.

Our Thanksgiving plans are a bit strange. I'm taking my toddler with me to my family's Thanksgiving just for the appetizer portion. I am leaving when they sit down to dinner and I'm going to go home and have a nice quiet vegan thanksgiving dinner with my husband and child.

My family is just way too into turkey and I can't sit at their holiday table. But I do want to see out of town relatives who only come in once per year. So I compromised and am going in the mingle stage instead of the dinner stage.

Oh, Follow Your Heart in Canoga Park also has a vegan thanksgiving meal plan. Theirs is a little cheaper than RFD.
