- Thanksgiving Day turkey cannot be renounced.
And if the pandemic makes goods move more easily than people, for the solemn American Thanksgiving holiday on November 26th, reservations for home delivery of the anniversary menu are flooding.
In the Langhe Marc Lanteri, a Michelin star at the
Al Castello
restaurant
in Grinzane Cavou
re his American wife Amy Bellotti, Maitrê de Sale, propose Deliverycation Experience Thanksgiving Dinner, for those who want to feel "born in the USA just for one day".
"The American holiday was born to thank nature after the end of the harvest, to celebrate the abundance of food at the table and to share this abundance with people who cannot enjoy as much wealth" explains Amy Bellotti.
In the proposal, the classic preparations of the most traditional dinner in the United States of America: the cauliflower cream with croutons and toasted seeds, the baked turkey with its chestnut and sausage filling and finally the dessert with the broken pumpkin that this year takes the form of a creme caramel accompanied by shortbread biscuits in maple syrup.
But there is no tradition without innovation so the proposal expands to a vegetarian option with a Lentil Loaf (roasted lentils, spelled and vegetables) instead of turkey.
Furthermore, to maintain the spirit of solidarity of the anniversary, the Ristorante Al Castello participates in the fundraising for Action Against Hunger, of which Marc is ambassador this year.
A donation will be made for each Delivery Experience Thanksgiving Dinner menu sold.
