The film of 'Shadowlands', 1993 had a wonderful performance by Debra Winger as an American in England after the war. In the film there's a memorable little scene wherein Winger and her young son are to celebrate Thanksgiving with The Brits. Her search for cranberry sauce is fruitless and goes awry. After the young boy tries to describe what Cranberry Sauce is, and how important it is to The American Thanksgiving dinner, a local woman suggests 'Raspberry Jam'? I wonder if The British have incorporated any aspects of our 'Turkey Day'? I used to live over there back when Thatcher was P.M. (Any advances?)

In Britain, "cranberry sauce" means "I buried Paul."

You lost all credibility, here, with the phrase-' cranberry sauce is fruitless'

I realized it as I typed the words.

You couldn't say, 'I buried Reggie' unless you were in Blackpool. No, I looked up the phrase you mentioned. I ask you, when did THIS all start?

I loved the movie Shadowlands. Also, the music was lovely.
I must have cranberry sauce with turkey!
I agree Joan, maybe my favorite George Fenton score!

I remember lingonberry sauce being available at Ikea. That's kinda sweet/sour like cranberry sauce.
Don't they have Ikeas in England?
Or do people just row over to Scandinavia when they need post-collegiate-style furniture?

Cranberry sauce with turkey breast (because its drier) always, or even chicken roast. I always keep a pot in fridge to liven up turkey or chicken sandwich too.
But im not big on beef gravy with my roasts, so the cranberry on both the meat and roast potatoes is yummy

I wonder about Bovril and HP Sauce. I mean, I recall my year in The U.K., (Scotland), and I remember seeing HP Sauce on restaurant tables all the time. In America, I believe it would be ketchup.

Another great use for cranberry sauce following the seasonal holidays is for "bobby" sandwiches. I think it is more a tradition of the North East of the US (my family is from Delaware), but it is a sandwich made from turkey, stuffing/dressing, and cranberry sauce. We use marbled rye typically but any type of bread seems to do. Especially good using any leftover yeast rolls from the holiday dinner.
That is an EXCELLENT sandwich, Nuts_Score, I've made it many times. A variation I've made of this is Sourdough Bread with sliced turkey breast, cranberry sauce and cream-cheese. Works well on a bagel as too! I don't think you cn get Sourdough Bread in Britain; too 'spicy'.

A mate in the pub says jam on meat is a crime. In the UK jam is what the US call jelly. But he says the same about apple sauce on roast pork. And that is definitely a British thing, and good.
Personally I liked cranberry sauce ever since I had it on turkey on a Canadian Thanksgiving in the 70s.
Wife loves brown sauce (HP and cheaper store brand versions). I like ketchup on certain things.
But Bill, isn't gravy a must? Or is it just a northern thing like gravy on chips? My wife complained about pork pie with mushy peas at the pub the other night. Apparently it's a Barnsley thing. I never knew. Thought it was normal. I mean, pea and ham is a pairing, and our pork pies have pink fillings like a hammy type pork.

I absolutely busted out laughing reading this! Thank you for that.
Yes, the Brits would no doubt find true sourdough bread to be unpalatable based around its "spice!" Lol
We have it. My wife and daughter love it, and my future son in law bakes his own. Last (and first) time I was in Florida it seemed to be the only non sweet bread there was. I bought a Wonderloaf and it was hellishly sweet. Same with average bread rolls.
