As the holidays are upon us, students from different cultural backgrounds at Michigan State University reveal that they eat foods traditional to their culture such as potato dumplings and Farofa, instead of the typical "turkey and stuffing."
Who are the students?
Ellie Tinney, a German student at MSU, and Gabi Molina, a Brazilian student at MSU.
So, what do they say?
Tinney said that her family always eats traditional German foods such as potato dumplings instead of mashed potatoes.
"Even when we go to my other, more traditional side for the U.S. Thanksgiving, we always bring the dumplings with us," Tinney said.
Molina, said that there are a few traditional Brazilian dishes that her family makes sure to include during Thanksgiving, ever since moving to the U.S.
"We have traditional Brazilian stuff—like— rice and beans, Brazilian steak with Farofa (a cassava flour mixture), and for dessert we have apple pie and Brigadeiro, which is a super traditional Brazilian dessert, " Molina said.
