Thanksgiving (Tyrnican: Erntedankfest) is a Surrowese holiday that takes place on the second Monday of October. (TBC)

Customs

  • Surrowese people usually travel to their home communities
    • home communities being where their ancestors came from on Surrow (i.e. place where the first fishermen on that family set up shop)
    • busiest travel day of the year, probably a custom for those who can afford it to take a bus to their town rather than take their car
  • feast at a community centre involving everyone that can fit in there or at a house of some family member who still happens to live in the outport
    • recent trend to have two or three meals at each community centre to accomodate demand
      • probably an outgrowth of having two meals: a Rythenean meal for the Rythenophones and a Tyrnican meal for the Tyrnophones in Tern Harbour
  • meal itself involves:
    • saying grace
    • reading the names of those who were lost at sea

Cuisine

  • a lot of fish
