I recently learned about a Friendsgiving Day celebratory meal held after a Steeler’s football game which included a table of Friendsgiving Desserts.
What is Friendsgiving?
First of all, Friendsgiving is typically a meal eaten with good friends instead of a Thanksgiving Day meal with relatives. It is, also, held on a day other than Thanksgiving but sometimes in the fall near Thanksgiving.
While the term Friendsgiving goes back to about 2007, it can be held instead of Thanksgiving or added on as an extra holiday.
Participants are close friends who live in the same area. Or it can be people getting together who are far from home and cannot travel back for Thanksgiving Day. It can, also, even be a group of co-workers who each bring a potluck dish to enjoy.
Friendsgiving Appetizers
Let’s see, on this appetizer table we have deviled eggs arranged in a circle on a clear dish, rolls plus butter, and a couple different appetizers. I like the appetizers served in the cute orange pumpkin dish.
I also know that someone was bringing a pizza dip which is not shown. Yes, the dip is made out of things you would normally place on a pizza.
So, the actual Friendsgiving meal consisted of turkey and all the trimmings with lots of side dishes served hot in crockpots.
Friendsgiving Desserts
So, what’s a Friendsgiving meal without a Friendsgiving Dessert table?
For dessert there is a thick berry cheesecake, pumpkin, cranberry, and apple pies. The small glass dessert glasses contain a pumpkin mousse and toffee crunch. To top off the desserts are a container of Cool Whip and can of Reddy Whip with probably some coffee.
Ending Notes on the Friendship Dessert Blog
In conclusion, the Friendship meal looks delicious and it’s so nice to have good friends and neighbors over for the holidays.
Actually, I believe this is either the second or third Friendsgiving celebration for this hosting couple.
Long live Friendsgiving Day!
A Big Thank You to C. for sharing her Friendship meal story and photographs, and for the inspiration for today’s blog.
