While US President George W. Bush enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving meal at his Texas ranch, protesters against the war in Iraq held a rival feast on Thursday down the road at their makeshift camp. The president dined on roasted free range turkey with gravy and whipped sweet potatoes, as well as pecan pie and pumpkin pie, the White House said. Meanwhile, some 75 protesters prepared "a typical Iraqi meal," including curried lentils garnished with diced tomatoes, vegetables, almond rice with apricots, salmon and tilapia all washed down with "Iraqi tea." "The emphasis was on simplicity to contrast the abundance we have here with the misfortunes of the Iraqi people," said organizer Hadi Jawad.
