What time did you eat thanksgiving dinner?
My Caucasian in-laws and I ate at 12pm I think that is early. What time is best and why? My african american family in Ohio usually eats around 5pm except my Caucasian aunt who usually has thanksgiving dinner at 1:30pm.
Please tell me your culture/ nationality too because I wonder if this is a culture difference.
Happy thanksgiving!

We will be eating within the next hour. My brother had a football today so my poor parents are still a little tired from watching/helping out with that. We have always eaten dinner later in the day.

My Caucasian parents always ate between 12 noon and 1 p.m.
but my Philippine wife eats later in the after noon..sometimes as late
as 5 p.m..but never at noon..I learned after 23 years of marriage to
not expect an early meal..and she got up at 2 A.M. Today to start
cooking..I think it is all in the way you are raised
We lived on a farm growing up and noon we always ate lunch and
5:30 was the supper hour…it was *GOD Forbid we should be late*
but when I married a Filipino women..it is when she want so eat..
and since she is the Cook..she is the Boss
I like it better this way..as when I grew up..just like you said
it is too early for such a big meal..maybe a nice BRUNCH?
But you can’t fight city hall. Viva la Difference

Most years it between 2 and 3pm… This year it’s been pushed back to between 4 and 5pm due to work schedules.. (Both my husband and our daughter’s boyfriend had to work, they are correctional officers, inmates don’t do well if you leave them to supervise themselves..)
Not that I am complaining I got to sleep in a couple extra hours before starting the turkey LOL
I am Heinz 57 my husband is Scot/Irish..
