A Melting Pot Menu
Forget the turkey - it is a tamale Thanksgiving in Texas.
We hear why one family in Texas has ditched the Thanksgiving turkey in favour of Thanksgiving tamales. And, we visit an Armenian bakery in Boston to learn how to eat Lahmacun.
Also, how American craft brewers are inspiring beer makers around the world. Why Portuguese fish stew is such a hit in Massachusetts. The beauty of lop-sided cake for Norwegian chef Sweet Paul. And, why French bread is essential for a classic Vietnamese sandwich.
