How ?
It's a (national) holiday in Germany (one of three, this one (on a regular base) since '33). My mother is celebrating her birthday, so I'll spent my day in a Restaurant and afterwards eating cake with the family - I could think of worse ways to spend a day
Politicians use this day to talk about work, progress, future plans, etc The unions traditionally rant about some social problems and present plans. Extremist groups (both left and right) use this day for riots.

Bananas ?
I hope not!
Quote:
Grapes ?
Perhaps some fermented ones, so I dislike them normally.
Quote:
Chocolate ?
Definitely on the cake, perhaps some hot one too. Other chocolate can be left at the door, I'll collect it

Quote:
turducken ... ?
Nope - Pizza, Cake, Coke, Chocolate, Coffee and other stuff like that.
