I got invited to celebrate an American Christmas in Maryland.

Maryland is close to the South so some of the foods were traditional Southern foods.

We were invited for 1 pm but did not eat until 6 pm. We had a snack of seafood pasta salad.

When the food arrived, having been cooked in various ovens and yards (the turkey was deep fried), was overwhelming.

There was so much food.

There was the traditional turkey, honey glazed ham, stuffing, gravy…

And then some Southern dishes such as collard greens, sweet potatoes, cabbage…

Then the addition of modern touches like salmon.

And the seven layer salad. This salad is not healthy because at the top one adds a lot of mayonnaise and shredded orange cheese. It was tasty.

There was dessert of sweet potato pie and banana pudding. But I could not eat it that day.
