Thanksgiving is the most American of holidays, celebrating the first Pilgrim harvest in 1621, but that doesn’t mean other cultures can’t enjoy, especially neighbors from Latin America.
To help, the Agriculture Department is offering Thanksgiving dinner tips in Spanish, live on the telephone, and online through its Twitter account in Spanish, @USDA Food Safety_Es.

“If you have questions about your Thanksgiving dinner, you can call the USDA Meat & Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) to talk to a food safety expert,” said an email from the department.
“The Hotline has been around for 30 years. Last November they received more than 3,000 calls mostly about Thanksgiving dinner. You can also chat live with a food safety expert at AskKaren.gov, available from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, in English and Spanish,” it added.
The department said over 46 million turkeys will be cooked next Thursday.
