Plain Talk about Amish Thanksgiving

"Do you like turkey?" I asked Monroe (who just left his Swartzentruber Order).

"Haven't had it," he answered.

"You haven't eaten turkey?"

"No."

Wow, that surprised me! Maybe it's just his family. Harvey, Mosie, and the others love turkey! And being raised on large farms, they love hunting.

So do the Amish acknowledge or celebrate Thanksgiving?

Some do. Some don't. They're aware of our "English" commemoration of this day but, as separatists from an Anabaptist tradition, many orders don't recognize...
