What do people in Australia eat at Thanksgiving?

Answer 1

Australians don't celebrate Thanksgiving in the same sense as Americans. They have a national day of Thanks, in which you thank others and God for that which you are, well, thankful for. However, Australia is a country founded to house convicts. They never had to survive a harsh winter (even in the south the winter is still quite warm compared to Mass.) and they never held a speific religious convition to forming their own country - it was simply easier to stay there after they had finished their term of punishment. Thus, they don't celebrate Thanksgiving in way that one would suspect.

Answer 2

Australia does not have "Thanksgiving". Australia was settled differently from North America, being a purely penal colony from the beginning, and did not experience the same conditions.

The old harvest festivals of England were not carried over, as they were not relevant to Australian conditions. The only "Thanksgiving" commemorations (such as "Harvest Thanksgiving") were purely religious, and brought over with other cultures much later, such as the Germans.
