“I’ve taught people here how to play American football. We’ve done Thanksgiving dinner. I’ve played a lot of basketball, and I’ve taught my kids about rock & roll, blues and jazz.”
Peter Teluk,
Attorney for Squire Sanders
“The biggest thing that I do would probably be bringing in pure American food including Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce, Frank’s hot sauce, and Tabasco to make real American barbecue, buffalo wings and spicy food.”
Rebecca Norman,
Peace Corps volunteer in Kozyatyn, Vinnytsia Oblast
“I definitely celebrate Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and Thanksgiving like it’s going out of style. It’s my favorite.”
Joseph Bagliere,
Peace Corps volunteer, Mohylev-Podilsky, Vinnytsia Oblast
“I have an American football, so it’s fun to get together and play the game. We had Thanksgiving, but had two ducks, not turkey. It’s funny. I have Tabasco sauce in my back pack, and my mother recently sent a care package of Charmin toilet paper and strawberry pop tarts.”
Mike Perry,

“Ninety percent of the stuff I could cook for myself has the recipe on the box, meaning, like macaroni and cheese, pop tarts, milk with cereal, I really don’t know what to do with stuff you’d find at a real, farmer’s market, it’s got to have the recipe on the box.”
