"Place your orders NOW for Thanksgiving," exhorted the flyer. This seemed to be a matter of course for Canarsie; several other Jamaican food shops in the neighborhood made similar pitches. Across the way, a Grenadian bakery-restaurant advertised a complete turkey dinner. The bird, by the looks of things, would be cooked to a more traditional recipe, but the choices of hors d'oeuvres included beef patties and codfish cakes.
Also shown, from years past: a flyer offering "American turkey with Odessa-style stuffing" (sadly, I came upon it in December) and a series of "Happy Thanksgiving!!!" supermarket banners for provisions including paticas de cerdo. The market supplied the holiday savings; the customers, presumably, supplied their own recipes for pig's feet.
