Thre were no meals on the German Harvest Festicval day in October. It was called : Erntedankfest.
It was day to honor farmers and usually there were small parades. Livestock all decked out in finery, pulling wagons with people in their regional costumes and with displays of the crops they grew. But no family gatherings and big meals like here.
Don't know if it still that way since tings have changed so much in Europe.

Hello ladies! Past my Thanksgiving. But I'm sure by now your weather is cooling off too. So this is a drink I love to serve when it gets chilly outside. You can use apple juice, or apple cider. The other year, I made homemade apple juice, tasted great in this recipe!

Cider Wassail
2 quarts apple cider
1-1/2 cups orange juice
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cinnamon sticks (3 inches)
Dash ground cinnamon
Dash ground cloves

In a large saucepan, combine all of the ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Discard cinnamon sticks. Serve hot in mugs. Yield: 10-12 servings (2-1/2 quarts).
